NFL free agency 2023: Former 49ers who surprisingly remain unsigned
By Peter Panacy
Former 49ers offensive lineman Tom Compton remains unsigned
Remember offensive lineman Tom Compton? He filled in for Mike McGlinchey at right tackle when McGlinchey suffered a season-ending quad injury halfway through the 2021 season.
Regardless of how well or poorly Compton played in relief, he at least turned that effort into a one-year deal with the Denver Broncos the following offseason.
Now, McGlinchey is off to Denver, while Compton is a free agent again.
An unsigned one, at best.
Could a team like the Niners explore a reunion with Compton? Currently, it appears as if San Francisco’s plan to replace McGlinchey is with another backup, Colton McKivitz, who couldn’t beat out Compton for a roster spot back in 2021.
Times have changed, yes, but Compton is still out there and waiting.
Maybe for a call that might never come.
