According to Josina Anderson, the San Francisco 49ers are among the teams showing an early interest in Jacksonville Jaguars free agent cornerback Tre Herndon. Anderson named the Atlanta Falcons and New York Giants as the other interested teams.
"I'm told Herndon is not returning to Jacksonville. We'll see how his market continues to unfold," wrote Anderson.
Per Pro Football Focus, Herndon played 300 of his 572 defensive snaps at the slot cornerback position in 2022. The 49ers are expected to lose defensive back Jimmie Ward in free agency. Ward was the team's primary nickel cornerback.
The Jacksonville Jaguars signed Herndon (5-11, 185) as an undrafted free agent out of Vanderbilt in 2018. He registered 36 tackles, two tackles for a loss, a quarterback hit, five passes defensed, and a forced fumble through 15 game appearances (one start) with the Jaguars last season, per
Pro Football Reference.
Herndon, 27, has recorded 197 tackles, eight tackles for a loss, three quarterback hits, a sack, 23 passes defensed, three interceptions, and a forced fumble in 67 game appearances (30 starts) through his five NFL seasons.
