The 49ers have agreed to terms with veteran pass-rusher Elvis Dumervil, general manager John Lynch announced on Monday.
Dumervil, 33, has 99 sacks in his 10-year career with Denver and Baltimore. He tied his career-high with 17 sacks for Baltimore in 2014. His production dropped off to six sacks in 2015 as he battled an Achilles tendon injury. He appeared in eight games last season after returning from offseason surgery to repair his Achilles.
Lynch wrote on Twitter: "Faithful - Just added another stud to harass QBs. Thrilled to announce we’ve agreed to terms w/ (Elvis Dumervil). Welcome to the squad. #BrickByBrick"
