Mandatory Credit: Lucas Boland-Imagn Images The San Francisco 49ers are adding former New York Giants cornerback Nick McCloud to their practice squad, The Athletic reported Monday.
The Giants cut McCloud last week after he reportedly refused a pay cut. He had started five of his seven games for New York this season, registering 14 tackles and one pass defensed.
McCloud, 26, saw action in two games as an undrafted rookie with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2021. He appeared in 38 games (16 starts) over three seasons with the Giants, accumulating 85 tackles, 1.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and one interception.
McCloud had a one-year, $2.985 million contract with the Giants and was approached by the salary cap-strapped club about taking a pay cut, per the New York Post.
