The 49ers announced they have signed kicker Jonathan Brown to a two-year deal. The move comes a week after the team placed the franchise tag on kicker Robbie Gould.
Brown originally entered the NFL in 2016, signing with the Bengals as an undrafted free agent. Cincinnati waived him out of the preseason but signed him to a futures contract Jan. 20, 2017.
The Bengals released him during training camp in 2017 but brought him back to the practice squad late that season.
During the 2018 preseason with the Bengals, Brown made all six field goal attempts, including a 55-yarder.
