ESPN is reporting the San Francisco 49ers will sign former Minnesota Vikings cornerback Chris Cook.

The team made the signing official via Twitter:

Cook visited with the team on Thursday and will battle for a spot in San Francisco's secondary. He recorded 123 tackles and no career interceptions in four seasons with the Vikings.

ESPN analyst Matt Williamson likes the move.

“He has a lot of talent,” Williamson said. “Maybe he can resurrect his career in San Francisco.”
