The San Francisco 49ers could have a reunion at linebacker in more ways than one. New defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen and assistant linebackers coach K.J. Wright worked with free agent Bobby Wagner, who is an unrestricted free agent.
Another option is Azeez Al-Shaair, who played high-level football with the Tennessee Titans this past season. Al-Shaair figures to cost too much money, and the 49ers are unlikely to get into a bidding war for an off-ball linebacker one day after approaching their handsomely paid defensive tackle to take a pay cut.
