49ers Re-Sign CB Dontae Johnson, Waive DE Pita Taumoepenu

The San Francisco 49ers officially re-signed DB Dontae Johnson to a contract on Tuesday and placed DE Pita Taumoepenu on waivers. 

Johnson, 27, is a former fourth-round pick of the 49ers back in 2014. He played out the final year of his four-year, $2,620,544 contract with the 49ers before signing on with the Seahawks this offseason.

After brief stints with the Bills and Cardinals, Johnson signed on with the Chiefs this offseason. Unfortunately, Kanasa City released him a few weeks ago. 

In 2017, Johnson appeared in all 16 games for the 49ers and recorded 77 tackles, one interception returned for a touchdown and seven pass defenses.
