Mandatory Credit: Robert Hanashiro-Imagn Images Veteran cornerback Eli Apple will have a chance to play for his seventh NFL team after agreeing to a one-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers, his agency said on social media Sunday.
The 49ers had not made an announcement as of Sunday night. Apple, who turns 30 on Aug. 9, was limited by a hamstring injury last season and played in only four regular-season games and one playoff appearance for the Los Angeles Chargers, making two tackles.
He has 383 career tackles, six interceptions, 61 passes defended, three forced fumbles and seven fumble recoveries in 102 regular-season games (82 starts) for the New York Giants (2016-18), New Orleans Saints (2018-19), Carolina Panthers (2020), Cincinnati Bengals (2021-22), Miami Dolphins (2023) and Chargers.
The Giants selected Apple with the 10th overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft.
