Defensive lineman Quinton Dial on Tuesday signed with the Green Bay Packers, as first reported by the Sacramento Bee, joining Ahmad Brooks

Dial was released over the weekend while San Francisco trimmed its roster to 53. The decision was somewhat surprising given Dial
’s versatility to play three technique and nose tackle along the interior of the new-look 4-3 defensive front.But Dial didn
’t transition well to first-time coordinator Robert Saleh’s one-gapping scheme. Dial was drafted in 2013 to play defensive end in a 3-4, where defensive linemen are often responsible for plugging two gaps.The 49ers
’ new front office headed by John http://www.coltsshopauthentic.com/shop-by-players-16-scott-tolzien-jersey-c-1_7.html Lynch went with youth over experience in just about every key decision while making the last round of cuts. Dial is a good example. The team kept at nose tackle free agent addition Earl Mitchell and sixth-round pick D.J. Jones from Mississippi.
And after placing defensive lineman Ronald Blair on injured reserve Sunday, the 49ers signed former Browns defensive tackle Xavier Cooper, who figures to play behind DeForest Buckner at three technique along the interior.
Dial during his four seasons with the 49ers logged 78 tackles and 4.5 sacks while making 32 starts. He
’s known best for his ability to stop the Antonio Gates Authentic Jersey run. He was a fifth-round pick (157 overall) in 2013 after playing at Alabama.
