Jason Verrett considered retirement prior to signing with 49ers

With cornerback Jason Verrett signing a one-year prove-it deal with the San Francisco 49ers, 2019 really is a make-or-break year for the 27 year old.

Drafted by the San Diego Chargers in Round 1 of the 2014 NFL Draft, Verrett was projected to be one of the elite corners coming out that year. However, injury after injury would ultimately place his NFL career on hold, with Verrett rehabbing several significant injuries across the years. His long list of injuries includes labrum and rotator cuff tears, a partial ACL tear and, his most recent, an Achilles tear.
