That's a significant investment in a safety and potential core special teams player that might suggest the 49ers don't intend to bring back Jaquiski Tartt, an unrestricted free agent. However, we will wait and see what happens there.
Odum hasn't missed a game over his four-year career, appearing in 65 consecutive games while starting 10.
Indianapolis signed Odum (6-1, 202) as an undrafted free agent out of Central Arkansas in 2018. He registered 55 tackles, a quarterback hit, two passes defensed, an interception, and a forced fumble through 17 game appearances (seven starts) with the Colts last season, per NFL.com.
Odum, 28, has recorded 150 tackles, four passes defensed, two interceptions, and four forced fumbles in 65 game appearances (10 starts) through his four NFL seasons. He led the NFL with 20 special teams tackles, resulting in a first-team All-Pro selection in 2020.
