After starting 16 games for the Niners in 2017 he bounced around between the Buffalo Bills, Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Chargers the past two years before returning to San Francisco in 2019.
Verrett, 28, appeared in just one game for San Francisco last season after being placed on injured reserve in October with a knee condition. Injuries have been the prevailing theme of Verrett's career. Since being a Pro Bowler in the 2015 season he's appeared in just six games.
He's notched 80 tackles and five interceptions in his career.
It appeared early in his career that Verrett was on track to be one of the game's best cornerbacks, only for injuries to rob him of reaching that potential. The Niners will be hoping he can provide quality depth, however, and that he can stay on the field.
