Police in Santa Clara, Calif., arrested 49ers cornerback Tramaine Brock on suspicion of felony domestic violence on Thursday, per A.J. Perez of USA Today.
Officers responded to a domestic violence report and found “visible facial injuries” on the woman Brock is dating. Brock posted bail Friday, tweets the Sacramento Bee’s Matt Barrows, who notes that his roster spot is “tenuous.” Worse for Brock, he could serve a four-year prison sentence if found guilty of felony domestic violence.
The 28-year-old Brock has spent the first seven seasons of his career in San Francisco, which signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2010. Brock has since started in 40 of 80 appearances and totaled 11 interceptions. He’s coming off his first 16-start season, in which he amassed a career-high 58 tackles, logged 14 passes defensed and picked off a pass. He also ranked 23rd in overall performance among Pro Football Focus’ 111 qualified corners.
Now, despite his impressive production last season, Brock’s 49ers tenure (if not his career) could be in jeopardy. Cutting Brock would save the 49ers the majority of his $4.3MM cap hit ($3.55MM), leaving them with just $750K in dead money.
