- - - The 49ers are bolstering their defensive line depth. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported veteran DL Hassan Ridgeway is joining San Francisco on a one-year deal worth $2.5 million. - Ridgeway, 27, was a fourth-round pick of the Colts in 2016. He spent his first three seasons in Indianapolis before joining the Eagles for three years. - Over six seasons he‘s played in 65 games with 12 starts at multiple spots along the defensive line. That versatility will play well for a San Francisco defensive front that values the ability to play different positions. - Ridgeway for his career has 80 tackles, 13 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks. He’ll be a candidate to help make up for the loss of DL DJ Jones who’s headed to Denver. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Niners Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Niners Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
