49ers re-sign DE Tony Jerod-Eddie to 1-year deal
The San Francisco 49ers have re-signed DE Tony Jerod-Eddie on a 1-year deal worth $1.3M, per Ian Rapoport of
NFL Network.
Jerod-Eddie was brought in as an undrafted free agent by the 49ers in 2012. He has had 49 tackles and an interception (off of Matt Schaub) over his career.
Other defensive lineman include
Arik Armstead, Glenn Dorsey, Tank Carradine, Quinton Dial, Kaleb Ramsey, Mike Purcell, Garrison Smith, and Ian Williams.
Williams was originally scheduled to become a free agent in March until the 49ers re-signed him to a five-year deal. That contract was later reduced to a one-year deal when it was revealed during a physical that he was likely to miss the start of the season.

Why John Lynch believes 49ers QB Brock Purdy is the "real deal"
By Rohan Chakravarthi

Over the offseason, there has been significant talk surrounding the San Francisco 49ers and their quarterbacks, especially after the team signed Sam Darnold in free agency, providing them three capable options with starting experience in the former Carolina Panther, Brock Purdy, and Trey Lance.
Purdy is evidently the leader in the clubhouse, as stated by general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan several times this offseason, but many have pointed out his flaws, such as the inability to make throws downfield, as a reason why one of the other quarterbacks could win over the starting job with a strong performance in organized team activities(OTAs) and training camp.

That's why it was impressive that rookie Spencer Burford not only shined early, separating himself during organized team activities(OTAs), but took a starting role as a fourth-rounder.
However, Burford split in-season reps with veteran Daniel Brunskill in a season with ups and downs, questioning the 49ers' belief in his play as a rookie.
