That’s one more year for Jimmie. Ian Rapoport reports that San Francisco 49ers have brought back their first pick in the 2014 NFL draft to a one-year, $5 million deal. The 49ers were interested in bringing him back, but those injury issues have to be a concern.
Now the question is where they figure Jimmie Ward in for the 2019 season. Ward was quite the quality backup in 2018 and capable of both of the safety and nickel corner positions. The 49ers secondary will be getting healthy again so where they figure to slot Ward will be something to see.
