ESPN’s Field Yates provided the contract details for 49ers cornerback Jason Verrett, who signed a one-year deal with the Niners Monday. Verrett qualifies for the veteran salary benefit, so his salary-cap charge will be $895,000 for 2022.

49ers general manager John Lynch joined KNBR’s Murph & Mac show to discuss what Verrett has been through and what he means to the team:
“This guy’s ability and passion for the game, his makeup, his toughness, it’s all to be admired.
