The 49ers already made one signing to address their special teams when they added linebacker Oren Burks, and they made another Friday.

San Francisco agreed to a three-year, $10.95 million contract with safety George Odum, NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reported, citing sources.

Odum, 28, was a key specials teams player and safety for the Indianapolis Colts for the past four seasons. 

Odum was a first-team All-Pro special teamer in 2020. He started seven games at safety for the Colts last season.
