Willie Middlebrooks
5/18/2006
Middlebrooks signed a one-year deal with the Denver Broncos on Thursday after a brief stint with the San Francisco 49ers. The Broncos drafted the cornerback in the first round in 2001. He played four seasons in Denver before he was traded to the 49ers in 2005. He appeared in five games in San Francisco in three separate stints and was waived for the fourth and final time in December.

Middlebrooks has signed with the San Francisco 49ers, filling the roster spot of tight end Eric Johnson, who will miss the rest of the season with a foot injury. The Niners acquired the cornerback from the Denver Broncos in a trade for defensive end John Engelberger this summer, but released him just prior to the start of the regular season.

The San Francisco 49ers acquired Middlebrooks from the Denver Broncos on Friday in a trade for defensive end John Engelberger. The cornerback, who was the Broncos' first-round selection in 2001, was a disappointment in Denver, never earning a regular starting job in four seasons. He will join Ahmed Plummer and Shawntae Spencer in the 49ers' improved defensive secondary.
