Former Denver Broncos cornerback Perrish Cox signed a two-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers, the team announced Tuesday.

Cox was acquitted earlier this month on sexual assault charges. He was cut last September by the Broncos, who cited his performance in training camp, not the pending charges as the reason.

“We are pleased to add Perrish to our team,” 49ers general manager Trent Baalke said in a statement. “As an organization, from ownership on down, we have done our due diligence and are confident that Perrish will be a positive contributor to the 49ers, as well as our community.”

The foreman of the jury that acquitted Cox said earlier this month that jurors agreed Cox had had sex with his accuser, but no evidence was presented on when it happened or in what condition the woman was in.

The woman became pregnant after visiting Cox’s apartment after a night of partying in 2010, and prosecutors said DNA tests indicated Cox was the father. The woman testified she couldn’t remember much of what happened. Cox’s attorney questioned whether the woman simply didn’t remember having sex.

Jury foreman Mitch Summerfield told KUSA-TV in Denver there was no way for jurors to evaluate whether she was awake when she and Cox were together, much less whether Cox knew what condition she was in.

The Broncos drafted Cox in the fifth round of the 2005 draft. He recorded 54 tackles, two forced fumbles and an interception in his only season with the team.
