Schultz wrote on social media, "Blackmon has several suitors after enjoying a career season with the Colts, which included 4 INTs."
The Indianapolis Colts selected Blackmon (6-0, 202) out of Utah in the third round (No. 85 overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft. In 15 starts with the Colts last season, he registered a career-high 88 tackles, including five for a loss, a quarterback hit, eight passes defensed, and four interceptions, per Pro Football Reference.
49ers safety Ji'Ayir Brown is entering his second NFL season as All-Pro Talanoa Hufanga continues to rehab from the torn ACL he sustained on November 19, 2023. Safety Tashaun Gipson is an unrestricted free agent.
Blackmon, 25, earned a career-high 72.6 coverage grade from Pro Football Focus, allowing a 57.5 passer rating when targeted.
Throughout his four NFL seasons, Blackmon has recorded 214 tackles, including 12 for a loss, two quarterback hits, a sack, 17 passes defensed, seven interceptions, a touchdown, and two forced fumbles in 50 game appearances (46 starts).
