Tramaine Brock Has Charges Dropped

The felony domestic violence case against former 49ers cornerback Tramaine Brock has been dismissed, according to the Santa Clara district attorney’s spokesman (Twitter link via Mike Garafolo of NFL.com). Brock is currently a free agent and he may wind up as one of the league’s most popular available players in the coming days. Tramaine Brock (Vertical)

Already, at least five teams want to bring Brock in for a workout, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle (on Twitter) hears. Caplan terms Brock as the best available cornerback remaining on the market, and there’s definitely a case to be made for that at this stage of the offseason. Despite some rumblings to the contrary, the incumbent 49ers are not among the clubs with interest.

Brock, 29 later this month, was arrested on domestic violence charges in April. Officers responded to a domestic violence report and found “visible facial injuries” on the woman Brock is dating. The league may have something to say about the incident, but, legally speaking, Brock is in the clear.

The 28-year-old Brock has spent the first seven seasons of his career with the Niners after first joining the team undrafted free agent in 2010. He went on to start in 40 of 80 appearances and totaled eleven 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.
