The San Francisco 49ers have signed free agent linebacker Korey Toomer to a one-year contract, as noted by David Bonilla of the 49erswebzone.com. The deal came swiftly after the two sides met Wednesday.
What does this deal mean for the 49ers?
Toomer’s signing likely provides depth in San Francisco’s linebacking corps. In his five-year career, Toomer has totaled 130 tackles with 42 assists. He also has two sacks, five passes defensed and a 59-yard interception touchdown. Add in his five forced fumbles and Toomer hasn’t had a terrible career thus far.
Over the past two seasons, Toomer has really come on.
