- 49ers’ Charvarius Ward Says ‘Trauma’ From Death of 23-Month Daughter Might Lead to California Exit (newsbreak.com)
49ers cornerback Charvarius Ward is a free agent after the tragic death of his 23-month-old daughter, Amani. Ward says the loss has left him with trauma and he considered leaving the team during the season.
Despite his emotional turmoil, Ward has not ruled out returning to the 49ers. General manager John Lynch has expressed interest in re-signing Ward, but a deal must make financial sense.
Ward acknowledges the pain he feels when he returns to California, where Amani passed away. He says he may not be able to endure those memories. However, he remains hopeful that he can continue his football career with the 49ers.
