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.

Eagles' Lane Johnson agrees matchup vs. 49ers would have been "a different game" with healthy Brock Purdy
Lance Johnson fought through injuries to play in the Philadelphia Eagles' three playoff games, including the Super Bowl. The offensive lineman suffered a torn adductor injury late in the regular season but held off on undergoing surgery to participate in the Eagles' playoff run.
Johnson was in pain throughout the run, which included an NFC Championship Game win over the San Francisco 49ers. However, the two-time All-Pro wasn't the only one fighting through an injury. Both of the 49ers' quarterbacks suffered injuries in the game. First, Brock Purdy left after tearing the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow. Then, he was forced to return to the field after his backup, Josh Johnson, suffered a concussion.
Purdy couldn't throw the football, though,

Kyle Shanahan feels "really fortunate" with 49ers' QB room
Kyle Shanahan praises his quarterback room every year. Last season, the San Francisco 49ers went through three starting quarterbacks and still made it to the NFC Championship Game. Trey Lance was the Week 1 starter but suffered a season-ending ankle injury during his second game. Eleven weeks later, Jimmy Garoppolo sustained a broken foot.
That opened the door for rookie Brock Purdy to show his coaches and the NFL world that he belonged, despite being the last overall pick in the draft. Purdy guided the 49ers to eight consecutive wins before suffering a severe injury in that NFC title game matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Two of the quarterbacks from last season—Lance and Purdy—remain. Both are just 23 years old. They are joined by Sam

The San Francisco 49ers entered the offseason with several questions after key figures, such as Jimmie Ward, Mike McGlinchey, Samson Ebukam, and Charles Omenihu, departed in free agency, creating the possibility for position battles in organized team activities(OTAs) and training camp.
