Just one week after signing veteran running back Pierre Thomas, the San Francisco 49ers released him and signed another former New Orleans Saints back in the form of Travaris Cadet to replace him.
The 49ers made the move official through their Twitter account on Tuesday. Cadet later thanked the organization for bringing him aboard:
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Niners beat out two other teams that also showed interest in the 26-year-old.
Cadet is a fourth-year veteran who spent the first three seasons of his career with the Saints.
