49ers Sign Defensive Lineman Breeland Speaks
1 year agoThe San Francisco 49ers signed defensive lineman Breeland Speaks to a one-year deal and placed cornerback Anthony Averett (undisclosed) on the Injured Reserve list. Speaks led the USFL with nine sacks in 2023 and added six tackles for loss. The 27-year-old was a second-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft but missed a lot of action with injuries and a suspension. He also spent time with the Raiders, Cowboys, Giants, and Bills organizations, but has not played in a regular season game since 2018. It will be interesting to see if he can revive his career and make the roster to play on a stacked 49ers defensive line.
