Not long after meeting with San Francisco, edge rusher Kemoko Turay has found his next NFL home. NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports that he is signing a one-year contract with the 49ers (Twitter link). 
Turay, 26, sat down with the team one week ago, so this deal comes as little surprise. He had also visited the Falcons, but they clearly had more interest in linebacker Rashaan Evans, who has since signed with Atlanta. It didn’t take long for Turay to pivot to the Bay Area.
A second-round pick in 2018, Turay saw more playing time in his rookie season than any of his other three. Never able to break out as a full-time starter, he still put together a productive campaign in 2021. In 13 games (and only 224 snaps), he totalled a career-high 5.5 sacks. That, coupled with his age, made him an intriguing low-cost addition.
In San Francisco, Turay will join a defensive line headed by the likes of Nick Bosa and Arik Armstead. He should fill at least some of the void left by the expected departure of Dee Ford. Indianapolis, meanwhile, will lean on 2021 first-rounder Kwity Paye as well as offseason trade acquisition Yannick Ngakoue at the top of their pass-rush depth chart.
He will join the great lineage of sf d line like Solomon Thomas and javeon kinlaw
and.. here’s the dumb guy comment
Can’t even spell the players he is criticizing correctly…He has clearly done his research!!
Not to mention way to cherry pick, one bad pick, and one player that has been solid when he’s played, but just has been hurt from an injury he’s played through since college.
The 49ers can be criticized for their fare share of things, but their DL coach Kocurek is one of the best in the business…
Then again, I’d honestly be surprised if he even knows who he is…
Nothing to see here, but just another uneducated “fan” spewing his nonsense…
