According to the NFL transaction wire, the San Francisco 49ers hosted free agent cornerback Jack Jones as the team continues to evaluate its secondary depth. The visit must have gone well because Jones' agent revealed that the 49ers are signing the defensive back to a one-year deal, providing a potential boost to their secondary.
