Khalil Herbert finds a new home with the 49ers

Free agency has a way of stretching out. One day you're a known commodity, the next you're waiting on a phone call that may or may not come.

Herbert spent several seasons as a reliable piece in the backfield — the kind of running back who shows up when you need him and doesn't make a lot of noise about it. Now, after a stretch without a team, the San Francisco 49ers have brought him in.

For a player between jobs, a signing is more than a transaction. It's a new room to prove something in, new teammates to earn, a fresh chance to get back on a field that felt farther away with every week that passed.

What Herbert does with it is the part worth watching.
