The 49ers are set to add some much-needed pass rush help on the edge. NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero on Monday reported San Francisco and edge rusher Samson Ebukam agreed to terms on a two-year contract worth up to $13.5 million.
Ebukam, 25, was a fourth-round pick out of Eastern Washington by the Rams in the 2017 draft. He spent all four of his NFL seasons with Los Angeles and never missed a game during that span. In 64 games he earned 35 starts and racked up 14.0 sacks, one interception, six pass breakups, six forced fumbles and 16 tackles for loss.
San Francisco can’t officially sign Ebukam until the new league year begins at 1:00pm Pacific Time on Wednesday.
