49ers Sign 5th Round Pick Parys Haralson, To 4 Year Deal

Continuing to systematically address contracts for their nine-member draft class, the San Francisco 49ers have signed defensive end/linebacker Parys Haralson, a fifth-round choice.

Like the other San Francisco draft choices signed to this point, Haralson received a four-year contract. His deal is worth $1.786 million and includes a $176,000 signing bonus and minimum salaries for each of the four seasons. Haralson can earn an escalator that would boost his base salary in the final year of the deal, as is the case with the other 49ers' draft picks who have reached contract agreements.

A former University of Tennessee standout, Haralson is expected to get significant playing time in 2006 as San Francisco continues its transition to a 3-4 defense under coach Mike Nolan. Like Manny Lawson, the second of the 49ers' two selections in the first round, Haralson will likely move to outside linebacker after having played end in college.

He and Lawson are being counted on to immediately boost a pass rush that produced just 28 sacks in 2005, the third fewest in the league. Both players possess the kind of size favored for the hybrid position. The 49ers lost both their top outside rushers, Andre Carter and Julian Peterson, in free agency this spring.

Although he has a quick first step, Haralson might have been better noted in college for his intensity and the fact he played with a chip on his shoulder. In four seasons, three as a starter, Haralson registered 157 tackles, including 46½ of them for losses, 21 sacks, five forced fumbles and four recoveries. His best season was in 2005, when he had 16½ tackles for losses and eight sacks.

Haralson is the fifth of the 49ers' draft choices to come to contract terms. The team's first four choices, including first-rounders Lawson and tight end Vernon Davis, remain unsigned. But San Francisco clearly has gotten a jump on the rest of the league.

Unofficially, only 16 of the 255 players chosen in the draft have contracts, so San Francisco represents nearly one-third of the total. The only other franchise with more than three draft choices under contract is Washington, which has signed four.
