One might guess the San Francisco 49ers are tabling their cornerback needs until 2020. This, after the Niners elected not to go after some of the big-name free agents this offseason, instead only grabbing oft-injured corner Jason Verrett instead.
San Francisco seems set at the competition for nickel corner — a pending training camp battle between K’Waun Williams and D.J. Reed. But things get more interesting at the boundary spots. Verrett, Ahkello Witherspoon and second-year pro Tarvarius Moore are poised to take over the starting job opposite the veteran, Richard Sherman, heading into camp.
