Anthony Averett News
The San Francisco 49ers have signed defensive back Anthony Averett to a one-year deal. Averett most recently played with the Las Vegas Raiders last season. He was mainly depth, but has graded well as a defender in the past. His best season was in 2021 when he recorded 54 tackles and three interceptions in 14 games with the Baltimore Ravens. The former fourth round pick played four seasons with the Ravens before joining the Raiders last season. The veteran corner appears to be solid depth for the 49ers defense.
Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Anthony Averett (thumb) suffered a broken right thumb in the Week 1 season-opening loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday and will need surgery, according to a source. Averett will likely miss at least a month, which is why the Raiders chose to place him on Injured Reserve. The 27-year-old will not be able to return until at least Week 6 against the Houston Texans. With Averett sidelined, the Raiders will be looking for both Amik Robertson and Roderic Teamer to step up in the secondary. Averett, a former fourth-rounder of the Baltimore Ravens in 2018, is in his first year with the Raiders after opening his NFL career with four seasons in Baltimore.
The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec thinks Baltimore Ravens safety DeShon Elliott has a better chance to re-sign in free agency this offseason than cornerback Anthony Averett. Averett is expected to have a bigger market, and he won't be a starter in Baltimore as long as Marlon Humphrey and Marcus Peters are healthy. Averett's biggest supporter in the organization was former defensive coordinator Don Martindale, and he's now gone. A deal for Elliott probably won't cost much, but the Ravens should be looking to diversify their secondary for a better complement to Chuck Clark. Zrebiec would be surprised if defensive back Tavon Young is back on his current deal in 2022. Given his extensive injury history, a $9 million salary cap hit will likely be too much for Young.
