Free Agent CB DeShawn Shead Meeting With Lions & 49ers This Week

Ian Rapoport reports that free agent CB DeShawn Shead is visiting the Lions on Tuesday and the 49ers on Wednesday.

It’s worth mentioning that signing him to a contract won’t impact a team’s 2019 compensatory picks, given that he was released this offseason.

Shead worked his way back from a torn ACL and meniscus in his left knee that he suffered during the divisional round of the playoffs in 2016.

Shead, 28, originally signed on with the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent out of Portland State back in 2012. He returned to the Seahawks on a one-year exclusive rights contract for the 2016 season.

Last year, Seattle declined to tender him a contract as a restricted free agent but later brought him back on a one-year, $1.5 million contract.

In 2017, Shead appeared in two games for the Seahawks and recorded two tackles and no interceptions or pass defenses.
