“Truly blessed and honored to be part of the @49ers family, thank you #NinerEmpire for welcoming me,” Wright wrote on Twitter.

Wright intercepted one pass last season.

Wright joins a 49ers team that includes center Marcus Martin and also tight end Xavier Grimble, who signed a reserve/future contract in December.
