San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Aubrayo Franklin is finally ready to go.
Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting that Franklin, the 49ers’ franchise player, will fly to San Francisco on Saturday, take a physical and sign his one-year, $7.003 million tender offer.
Although both sides had indicated they would prefer to work out a long-term deal rather than have Franklin play for a one-year deal, this is still good news for the 49ers, who are getting one of their best players back in time to have him on the field for Week One.
