In April, the 49ers admitted that they had not spoken with Tartt but didn't completely rule out bringing the safety back. However, it didn't sound like a priority.
"We haven't talked to Quaski," general manager John Lynch said. "We haven't gone there yet. We'll see. He's a free agent. We think highly of Quaski. He played a lot of good football for us, and we're grateful for that. Talented, talented dude. He'll play in this league and continue to play at a high level."
San Francisco made Tartt (6-1, 215) a second-round selection out of Samford in 2015. He registered a career-high 66 tackles, five tackles for a loss, a quarterback hit, and a pass defensed through 14 game appearances with the 49ers last season.
Tartt, 30, has recorded 367 tackles, four sacks, 18 passes defensed, four interceptions, and two forced fumbles in 80 game appearances (64 starts) through his seven NFL seasons.
