According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, former San Francisco 49ers cornerback Perrish Cox has agreed to terms with the Tennessee Titans.
He is the second of the 49ers' 2014 starting cornerbacks to sign with another team. Yesterday, Chris Culliver agreed to join Washington.
Cox was selected by the Denver Broncos in the fifth round of the 2010 NFL Draft. He had two stints with the 49ers. Cox signed with the 49ers for a two-year deal in March of 2012 but was released that November. After spending a short time with the Seattle Seahawks, he returned to the 49ers that December and had been with the team since.
Yesterday, it was reported that the 49ers had made no effort to re-sign Cox.
The 49ers still have Tramaine Brock, Dontae Johnson, and Jimmie Ward. General manager Trent Baalke had stated that he was comfortable with the team's current corners.
The 49ers also brought in former San Diego Chargers cornerback Shareece Wright for a visit, but there is no word yet on whether or not the team intends to sign him.

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.

Mike Silver on how Deebo Samuel's contract might be the starting point for a Brandon Aiyuk extension
With the 2024 NFL Draft less than a week away, it's common for the rumor mill to start churning, especially with players who are actively seeking a new contract. It was just two short years ago that WR Deebo Samuel requested a trade from the San Francisco 49ers prior to draft day, only for cooler heads to prevail and eventually agree to a new deal.
Now, it's WR Brandon Aiyuk's turn to try and get paid and rumors surfaced over the weekend that he too would request to be dealt. While that report was quickly shot down by his agent, there's still a lot of discussion about Aiyuk's future and if other teams will come calling on draft night.
