Weddle, 34, is a six-time Pro Bowl selection and a two-time first-team All-Pro. He reportedly received as many as 11 offers after being released by the Baltimore Ravens. The 49ers were not among those teams, reported Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle.
The 49ers are expected to address the safety position this offseason. The team is considered among the favorites to heavily pursue and possibly acquire former Seattle Seahawks safety Earl Thomas, who hopes to become the highest-paid player at his position.
The San Diego Chargers made Weddle a second-round selection out of Utah in 2007. He registered 68 combined tackles, a sack, and three passes defensed through 16 starts with the Ravens in 2018. Weddle has recorded 1,070 combined tackles, 9.5 sacks, 95 passes defensed, 29 interceptions, four touchdowns, and eight forced fumbles through his nine NFL seasons.
Weddle started all 16 games in each of his past three seasons, all of which were with the Ravens. He spent his previous nine NFL seasons with the Chargers.
