49ers | Jamar Taylor joining SF

Free-agent CB Jamar Taylor (Falcons) signed a one-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers Monday, July 6. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Footballguys View: This is Taylor’s seventh team since he came into the NFL as a second-round pick for the Dolphins in the 2013 NFL draft. Now entering his age-30 season, Taylor has not looked like a decent player since 2018. It will be difficult for him to rejuvenate his career and may not make the 53-man roster. If he does make the team, it’s only for veteran depth at the position.

49ers | Teez Tabor waived

San Francisco 49ers CB Teez Tabor (undisclosed) was waived Monday, July 6, with a Non-Football Injury designation.

Footballguys View: Tabor was a second-round pick out of Florida in the 2017 NFL draft. The Lions selected him but Tabor did not make it through final cuts last preseason and spent most of 2019 on the 49ers practice squad. He’s only 24-years old and has good size for the position. Tabor should latch on with a third NFL team at some point this year.

Browns | David Njoku remains in plans

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku remains a big part of the Browns’ offense, but a source said that Njoku has wanted out.

Footballguys View: Njoku should want out as he’s not the lead tight end in the Browns plans. They signed Austin Hooper in free agency to be the primary weapon at the position and they selected FAU tight end Harrison Bryant in the 2020 NFL draft. Njoku had a breakout season in 2018 but was injured last year and only caught five passes in three games. We’ll see if some team offers the Browns enough to move the freakishly athletic tight end.

Panthers | Teddy Bridgewater dinked and dunked in 2019

Carolina Panthers QB Teddy Bridgewater’s average depth of completion of 4.7 yards as a member of the New Orleans Saints last season was the lowest mark by a quarterback in 2019, according to Pro Football Focus.

Footballguys View: Bridgewater’s emphasis on the short passing game wasn’t that different from Drew Brees when he was the starter for New Orleans and Carolina has said they expect more deep passing from him this year, so this shouldn’t be a reason to avoid him or new Panthers deep threat Robby Anderson late in fantasy drafts.
