Jason Verrett has re-signed with the San Francisco 49ers on a one-year deal.

The 2015 Pro Bowler and former first-round pick of the Chargers enjoyed a superb comeback season in 2020 after years of struggles with injury.

He finished with seven pass deflections and two interceptions in a year that saw the 49ers defense finish fifth in yards per play allowed, giving up an average of 5.01 despite suffering a plethora of injuries.

Verrett played just once for the 49ers in 2019 before an ankle injury ended his season and, though he reportedly had a multi-year deal on the table from another team, he decided to reward San Francisco for sticking by him.

His deal has a base salary of $5.5million, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport.

Verrett and Emmanuel Moseley, who the 49ers re-signed to a two-year deal on Saturday, will be the favourites to be the starting cornerbacks for San Francisco in 2021.
