49ers Sign Veteran Punter Corliss Waitman

The 49ers have signed 30-year-old punter Corliss Waitman to replace Thomas Morstead. Waitman, a Belgium native who previously played for the Steelers and Broncos, has appeared in 52 career games with a 41.7-yard net average. He becomes the team's first left-footed punter since 1991. The move follows the 49ers' recent re-signings of kicker Eddy Piñeiro and long snapper Jon Weeks, as the team looks to maintain a special teams unit that ranked No. 2 in EPA last season.
