49ers bring back Tartt on 1-year deal

The San Francisco 49ers re-signed safety Jaquiski Tartt to a one-year deal Monday, the team announced.

"We are very excited to have Jaquiski back with our team," general manager John Lynch said in a statement. "Jaquiski is an extremely skilled and versatile player who provides excellent communication skills for our defense."

San Francisco drafted Tartt in the second round in 2015. He's appeared in 66 games since entering the NFL, including 50 starts.

Tartt has been a quality starter when healthy, but he's played 10-plus games just once in the last four seasons. The Samford product amassed 30 tackles, four pass breakups, and one interception through seven contests in 2020.

The 29-year-old joins a list of multiple starters to re-sign with the 49ers this offseason.

Tartt will presumably be the favorite to start at safety alongside Jimmie Ward, who made 14 starts last year.

San Francisco's depth chart at the position also features fourth-year veteran Tarvarius Moore and Tavon Wilson, who also signed a one-year contract with the 49ers on Monday.
