Weaver isnt considered a dominant blocker at 6-foot-4, 258 pounds, relying more on athleticism, speed and precise route running. But Denver still has Dwayne Carswell on its roster, and in-line blocking remains his specialty.
Weaver immediately will be able to swap stories with Droughns now that Droughns also is on board: Both attended the University of Oregon and were teammates in 1998.
Droughns had hoped to rekindle some of those same memories with other NFL teams during his free-agent foray. In two collegiate seasons at Eugene, he rushed for more than 2,000 yards. Droughns was looking for an opportunity to duplicate such success by being given an opportunity to carry the ball on a regular basis.
But teams with whom he spoke focused more on Droughns recent history, and he has only 40 pro carries in 40 career appearances on his resume.
"I believed that somebody would give me a shot, but at the same time I understand, since nobody has really seen me run the ball," Droughns said. "And its kind of hard to depend on a guy you havent seen run the ball much in four years."
Droughns, however, remains "excited." He has been told by coaches that he will get an opportunity to assume a role similar to the one Mike Anderson filled last season; involvement in the offense in a backup role as a single setback added to a primary charge as a blocker.
Still, "I know my role will be as a fullback," Droughns said. "Hopefully, Ill get a few more carries dabbled in there a little bit. ..."
In San Francisco. ... Tight end Eric Johnson re-signed with the 49ers on Thursday, agreeing to a three-year, $4.5 million deal.
Johnson missed all of last season after breaking his collarbone in an exhibition game. But his strong performance in his first two pro seasons persuaded the 49ers to sign him to an incentive-laden deal that could make him one of the highest-paid tight ends for his experience level.
Johnson, a seventh-round draft pick in 2001 out of Yale, had 76 catches for 683 yards and three touchdowns
