The San Francisco 49ers continued to beef up their defense Wednesday, trading for Houston Texans defensive tackle Maliek Collins and signing former All-Pro Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Eric Kendricks, published reports said.
ESPN reporter Adam Schechter reported the free agent Kendricks was signing a one-year deal with the 49ers. The 32-year-old linebacker was released by the Chargers earlier this month in a cost-cutting move after finishing second on the team with 117 tackles last season.In 2019, Kendricks was selected to the Pro Bowl and was 1st team All-Pro with the Minnesota Vikings, where he played eight seasons after being drafted in the second round in 2015.
Collins is the latest addition made by the 49ers to their revamped defensive line after San Francisco had previously agreed to deals with free agent defensive ends Leonard Floyd and Yetur Gross-Matos, and defensive tackle Jordan Elliott, according to several sources speaking on condition of anonymity because those deals hadn't been signed.
