Brock, 32, wound up signing on with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent out of Belhaven College back in 2010. He was in the final year of his five-year, $17.323 million contract and set to make a base salary of $3.1 million for the 2017 season when the 49ers cut him loose.
The Seahawks signed Brock to a one-year deal in 2017 before trading him to the Vikings for a seventh-round pick. Brock signed with the Broncos for the 2018 season and signed with the Cardinals on a one-year deal but the team later opted to waive him.
Brock was claimed by the Titans before once again being waived. He signed on with the Jaguars and continued to fight for a backup spot with Jacksonville’s defense before being placed on injured reserve back in September.
In 2019, Brock appeared in 14 games for the Cardinals and Titans and recorded 50 tackles, no interceptions, and five passes defended.
We had him included in our Top 50 Available 2020 Free Agents list.
