Third time the charm: The #49ers are flying FA pass-rusher Ziggy Ansah to the East Coast to meet them with the expectation that he signs after going through COVID testing. He's visited with them twice but the sides didn't agree to a deal. Much more optimistic this time.

yeah It might be premature, but it's more than likely happening. He's a walking corpse at this point lol.
Would have rather gone in another direction.

Title misleading. Deal will get done though. We are desperate.

Dude sucks. I got money on him playing 2-3 games before he's injured too. Should just bring up Dion Jordan and just roll with the results.

They couldn't agree on a price tag. Now with Bosa out, the Niners have no choice but to overpay if they want to salvage anything out of this season

At this point the Niners probably just need bodies, and Ansah despite his history is the most qualified person out there. My bet is a one-year deal that overpays him. Unless he balls out this will not be a long-term signing and should not be. Just need to get through the season with enough guys to actually play on the d-line. And why not pick up a guy that has talent?
Though with the Niner's luck this year Ansah will be injured on the flight opening his pack of peanuts.

I kind of had my doubts that he would do much when he was drafted. I was wrong there, but he fell off pretty fast. Did nothing for Seattle last year. Gotta do what they gotta do I guess.

with Bosa out for the season, that silly idea of a "revenge tour" is all but dashed. And yeah Ziggy isn't much, just a desperation move

At least now we can bring him back now on a cheap FA contract.
