The San Francisco 49ers are plenty busy on Tuesday making some roster adjustments. Matt Maiocco reports they’ve officially released offensive tackle Anthony Davis who wants to make a return to football and also linebacker Pita Taumoepenu. But there also is a signing. Dontae Johnson.
Yes, cornerback Dontae Johnson, a source of high frustration for fans in 2017, has returned to Santa Clara.
Johnson was drafted by the 49ers in the 2014 NFL Draft and labeled a better athlete than a football player by then-analyst Mike Mayock. He showed some potential his rookie season, recording a pick-six, but that play was one of few that could be positive.
