San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke with reporters after Tuesday's practice and was asked if the team had any interest in signing recently released veteran safety Earl Thomas.
The short answer: No.
That's because Shanahan seems content with the safeties already on the roster.
"I'm real happy with our safeties," Shanahan said. "Nothing against Earl, but there wasn't interest just because we have our team. We have the guys we want in our spot, and I think this is how we planned it. We have some good competition, too, with the guys who are behind them. We're excited about our group."
The Baltimore Ravens released Thomas over the weekend after the safety punched a teammate during practice.
Thomas, 31, is a seven-time Pro Bowl selection and three-time first-team All-Pro. He is entering his 11th NFL season.
San Francisco will start the 2020 season with Jimmie Ward and Jaquiski Tartt as its starting safeties. The team also has Tarvarius Moore, Marcell Harris, and newcomer Johnathan Cyprien on its depth chart.
