As previously reported, the 49ers worked out former All-Pro safety Jairus Byrd on Wednesday. But Byrd isn’t the only former All-Pro San Francisco has kicked the tires on in the last few days. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the team also visited with cornerback Leon Hall on Tuesday.
The #49ers will spend today working out some veteran free agent DBs, including ex-#Bengals & #Giants CB Leon Hall & ex-#Saints S Jairus Byrd

Free-agent DB Jairus Byrd works out for #49ers today. Free-agent DB Leon Hall visited #49ers yesterday but did not work out.

As pointed out Tuesday by our Senior Writer Kevin Jones, the 49ers are looking to address a secondary that is lacking in depth, especially after the release of assumed starting cornerback Tramaine Brock following a domestic violence incident earlier this offseason.
Hall spent the first nine years of his career with the Cincinnati Bengals, earning second-team All-Pro honors in 2009. He signed a one-year deal with the Giants in 2016 and has snatched 27 interceptions during his 10-year career.
The 49ers still have around $70 million in cap room and plenty of flexibility to make signings as training camp approaches.
