The San Francisco 49ers have added depth to their revamped defensive line by signing former Jacksonville Jaguars defensive lineman Sen'Derrick Marks to a one-year deal. The move was announced by the team on Wednesday.
The 49ers worked out three defensive linemen on Tuesday. The other two were former Atlanta Falcons defensive end Tyson Jackson and former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Ricardo Mathews. It is logical to assume that Marks was the third defensive lineman who was worked out.
Marks' time with Jacksonville makes him familiar with the 49ers' defensive scheme and defensive coordinator Robert Saleh, who was the Jaguars' linebackers coach over the past three seasons.
Marks was originally selected in the second-round of the 2009 NFL Draft by the Tennessee Titans. He played college football at Auburn. In four seasons with the Titans (2009-12), Marks appeared in 51 games with 26 starts and accumulated 180 tackles, eight passes defensed, three sacks, three forced fumbles, and one interception.
Prior to the 2013 season, Marks signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he spent the last four seasons. With the Jaguars, he appeared in 52 games with 35 starts and had 104 tackles, 16 sacks, 13 passes defensed, five fumble recoveries, and three forced fumbles. In 2014, Marks led the Jaguars with a career-high 8.5 sacks. Last season, he had 22 tackles, 3.5 sacks, one fumble recovery, and one pass defensed in 16 games and one start.
Marks was released by Jacksonville on March 9. He will wear number 75 with the 49ers.

One reason why Deebo Samuel and the 49ers love Brock Purdy
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy wasn't perfect on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, yet the team was talented and disciplined enough to beat its division rivals 30-23.
Purdy had arguably his worst game as a starter. The second-year quarterback earned an overall Pro Football Focus grade of 65.1, his lowest regular-season mark since Week 13 of 2022. He finished the game 17-of-25 for 206 yards and a passer rating of 93.1, a new regular-season career-low as a starter. The stat line might have been better had Purdy connected on a few passes to open receivers that were overthrown.
After the game, when asked about the offense's shortcomings against the Rams, Purdy

The San Francisco 49ers plan to keep the band together for a long time. The team announced that it has agreed to multi-year contract extensions with head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch.
Details of the contracts are currently unknown. Before the new deals, Shanahan had been signed through the 2025 season, while Lynch was locked up through the 2024 season. They will now remain with the team longer than that.
The 49ers Communications staff provided the following rundown.
The duo joined the 49ers in February of 2017 and have since led the organization to the postseason three times, claimed two NFC West division titles (2019 & 2022), reached three NFC Championship games (2019 & 2021-22) and a trip to Super Bowl
Ex-49ers coach Jim Tomsula named Coach of the Year after guiding Rhein Fire to European championship
Former San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Tomsula has guided the Rhein Fire to a European League of Football championship. The 49ers named Tomsula their head coach in 2015 after the firing of Jim Harbaugh. His tenure lasted just one season as San Francisco went 5-11 that season.
Chip Kelly replaced Tomsula in 2016, who also lasted just one season. Kyle Shanahan has been the 49ers head coach since 2017.
Tomsula went on to serve as the defensive line coach for Washington (2017-19) and the Dallas Cowboys (2020) before being named the new Rhein Fire head coach last year. It was a reunion with the team he coached in 2006, when the Rhein Fire were a part of NFL Europe.
Tomsula guided his European team to a 7-5 record last year. This year, he went 12-0
