49ers Sign Special Teams Ace LB Dan Skuta To A 2-Year Deal

Found March 15, 2013 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Dan Skuta,  Blake Costanzo
TEAMS: San Francisco 49ers,  Chicago Bears
Cincinnati-bengals-2009
The San Francisco 49ers addressed their leaky special teams by signing Dan Skuta to a two-year deal Thursday, Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee reports. Skuta, a 250-pound inside linebacker, led the Bengals in special-teams tackles in two of the last three seasons. The 49ers had one of the best coverage units in the league in 2011, one that was led by energetic and charismatic Blake Costanzo. The 49ers, however, allowed Costanzo to sign with the Bears in free agency a year ago, and their 2012 special-teams units weren't the same. Source: The Redzone
