Jason Verrett Fantasy

The San Francisco 49ers re-signed cornerback Jason Verrett to an undisclosed one-year deal on Monday. He has appeared in 15 games (14 starts) over the last three seasons and has 65 tackles, seven passes defensed and two interceptions since signing as a free agent in March of 2019. The former first-rounder of the Los Angeles Chargers in 2014 has been devastated by injuries in his career, playing in just 25 games for the Bolts in his six seasons with the team. Verrett was a Pro Bowler in 2015 with the Chargers, when he finished with 47 tackles, 11 passes defensed and three interceptions (one for a touchdown) in 14 games (13 starts). If Verrett can stay healthy, he'll be a nice asset for San Francisco's secondary in both coverage and against the run.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters that he thinks cornerback Jason Verrett (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the Week 1 win over the Detroit Lions. It's terrible news for a player that just has not been able to stay healthy. Verrett was a first-round pick by the Chargers in 2014, but he's never been able to play in a full season due to injuries. Last year was only the second time in six seasons that he's played over 10 games. If he does indeed have a torn ACL, the 30-year-old will surely miss the rest of the 2021 campaign. Defensive backs K'Waun Williams and Deommodore Lenoir would see more playing time if Verrett is done for the season. Despite the bad news, the 49ers defense will remain a strong starting option for fantasy managers throughout the year.

The San Francisco 49ers re-signed cornerback Jason Verrett to a one-year deal worth $5.5 million on Monday. Verrett had multi-year offers on the table from other teams, but he is deciding to bet on himself again and can make a total of $6.5 million if he makes the Pro Bowl in 2021. The 29-year-old was a first-round pick by the Los Angeles Chargers in 2014, but his career has been sidetracked by various injuries. He played in just one game before landing on Injured Reserve in 2019 and played in 13 games for the Niners in 2020, recording 60 tackles (50 solo), two interceptions and seven passes defensed. Verrett was a Pro Bowler in his second season with the Chargers in 2015 and has been exceptional in the secondary when healthy. He will be providing depth in San Francisco's secondary in 2021, and if he remains on the field and produces, he could cash in in 2022.
