Teez Tabor will have a chance to continue in his development with the 49ers. The team will keep the former second-round cornerback around this offseason via reserve/futures deal, per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area (on Twitter).
The 49ers initially added Tabor to their practice squad early this past season and will attempt to see if the Florida alum can carve out a spot in their cornerback rotation next season. Tabor, 24, did not see action for the NFC champions and has not played since the 2018 season.
The Lions cut the ex-Gator prospect just before the regular season began. Tabor played in 22 games with Detroit, making five starts.
Here are the rest of the 49ers’ reserve/futures deals thus far:
- LB Joey Alfieri
- G Kofi Amichia
- CB Jermaine Kelly
- G Ross Reynolds
- DB Jacob Thieneman
- WR Chris Thompson
The Lions are an awful organization. Imagine using a 2nd round pick on this bust.
I am hurt by your words, Vin.
Where ya been Papi?
No name of the day in the offseason?
The off-season for football is like my regular season for names.
Why isn’t Teez
Tabor the name
of the day!!??
Can’t get any
weirder than
that…..
Or is it
wierder?
I feel attacked
Lions gonna do the same thing in this year’s draft with the third overall pick. Doesn’t management see that this is the perfect opportunity to trade down and take advantage of the QB situation, netting them a number of draft picks. Even if they do that, somehow they’ll screw it up. They stink at every position. They may have the worst defense in the history of the NFL.
The nfl should take pity on the lions and let them have the first 10 picks in the draft. I feel confident they could finish 3rd in their division next year with those picks.
