The 49ers are prepared to make a run at the top corners on the market, a source told MaioccoNBCS.
The 49ers’ top two cornerbacks at the end of last season, Emmanuel Moseley and Ambry Thomas, are under contract for the upcoming season. The club is prepared to offer a top-of-the-market deal to add a No. 1 cornerbacks, one source said, but the 49ers are prepared to move on quickly if the price becomes exorbitant.
The next group includes former 49ers cornerback D.J. Reed , Casey Hayward , Darious Williams , Bryce Callahan , Desmond King , Steven Nelson and Charvarius Ward .The 49ers have three notable free-agent cornerbacks of their own in Jason Verrett, K’Waun Williams and Dontae Johnson. Verrett opened last season as a starter before sustaining a torn ACL in Week 1. The 49ers consider Williams one of the top nickel backs in the league. Johnson has been a valued backup in the secondary because of his versatility.Both players are expected to generate a lot of interest on the open market and present huge challenges for the 49ers to retain.
The 49ers invested a second-round draft pick last year in guard Aaron Banks, who would be expected to take over if Tomlinson is not retained. And the 49ers hope Javon Kinlaw will return strong after knee surgery and step into the lineup as the 49ers’ base defensive tackle if Jones signs elsewhere.
