The San Francisco 49ers signed free-agent cornerback Carlos Rogers to a one-year contract, the team announced Wednesday.
Rogers, who spent the past six seasons with the Washington Redskins, has made 68 starts since being selected in the first round of the 2005 draft.
It's expected that Rogers will replace Nate Clements, whom the 49ers cut last week, in the starting lineup.
Rogers started 12 games during the 2010 season, making two interceptions and breaking up 12 passes.
