The San Francisco 49ers evaluated two defensive ends — former Detroit Lions and Seattle Seahawks pass rusher Ezekiel "Ziggy" Ansah and former Miami Dolphins, Seahawks, and Oakland Raiders defensive end Dion Jordan — this week and have apparently made a decision on which one to sign. The team is expected to add Jordan, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Update: The 49ers officially announced the signing on Friday, August 7.
The #49ers are expected to sign former #Raiders and #Seahawks DE Dion Jordan, source said. He flashed with Oakland with 2 sacks, but now helps depth in SF – a team that had tried to sign him in the past.
The Dolphins drafted Jordan out of Oregon with the No. 3 overall pick in 2013. He spent two seasons with the Seahawks before joining the Oakland Raiders in 2019.
Jordan, 30, registered five tackles, two sacks, and a pass defensed through seven games with the Raiders in 2019. He had 13 quarterback pressures in 113 pass rush attempts, according to Pro Football Focus.
Jordan has recorded 91 tackles, 10.5 sacks, five passes defensed, and two forced fumbles through his five NFL seasons, not counting 2015. He missed that season due to a suspension for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing substance policy.

Despite the defense's struggles, the San Francisco 49ers have publicly supported defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen throughout the season. However, those endorsements only carry so much weight. The 49ers took a similar stance last season with Steve Wilks, whose time in Santa...
