Akin Ayodele meets with 49ers

Akin Ayodele may be the most experienced, young free agent that hasn’t received any free agent attention -- until today.

Matt Maiocco of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports that Ayodele met with the 49ers Tuesday about a possible backup role. He would potentially play behind Patrick Willis and Takeo Spikes at inside linebacker.

If Ayodele comes off the bench, it will be for the first time since his rookie year. The 30-year-old has started at least 11 games for seven straight years. He was cut by the Dolphins March 5 to make room for Karlos Dansby.
