San Francisco 49ers Bolster Defensive Line with Former Bengals Pass Rusher Cam Sample Ahead of 2026 NFL Draft
The San Francisco 49ers have signed former Cincinnati Bengals pass rusher Cam Sample to a one-year deal, bolstering their defensive line ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. Sample, who had a career-best season in 2023 but missed 2024 due to an ACL tear, joins a 49ers team known for revitalizing veteran defensive linemen.
This signing suggests the team will prioritize offensive needs, such as addressing Brandon Aiyuk’s future and bolstering the left tackle and running back positions, during the upcoming draft.
