The San Francisco 49ers sign Brian Westbrook
The 49ers have signed 30-year old RB Brian Westbrook to a 1-year, $1.25 million dollar deal with another $1.25 million bucks in incentives. Westbrook played in 8 games (7 starts) with the Eagles last season and he carried the ball 61 times for 274 yards (4.5 ypc) with 1 TD run. He also caught 25 passes for 181 yards (7.2 avg) with 1 TD grab last year. Westbrook has now played in 107 games (85 starts) in his 8 years in the NFL and he has carried the ball 1,308 times for 5,995 yards (4.6 ypc) with 37 TD runs. He has also caught 426 passes for 3,790 yards (8.9 avg) with 29 TD grabs. This was a great signing for the Niners as Westbrook will be Frank Gore’s top backup as long as he can stay healthy.
