Free agent CB Perrish Cox is visiting the Seahawks Tuesday.
With Brandon Browner and Walter Thurmond both banned, all free agent corners with a pulse are getting calls from Seattle. This is Cox's season visit with the team in the last two weeks, so a signing could be coming.

Free agent DBs Perrish Cox and Michael Huff worked out for the Seahawks last week.
The 'Hawks have been known to sign former 49ers since the rise of the Pete Carroll/Jim Harbaugh rivalry, so it's possible Cox will get a deal. He was waived by San Francisco last Tuesday. Seattle and San Francisco will meet for the second time this season in Week 14.

The Sacramento Bee calls CB Perrish Cox one of the standouts of the 49ers' offseason program.
Per beat writer Matt Barrows, Cox has "jumped out for his aggressiveness." Cox has taken snaps both on the outside and in the slot, and has also worked on punt returns. The 49ers' secondary is perhaps the most stacked in the league, but Cox's chances of earning a roster spot appear good.

49ers CB Perrish Cox could still be facing league discipline even though he was found not guilty in his sexual assault case.
"We will review the facts," said league spokesman Greg Aiello. "That is standard procedure." Ben Roethlisberger was suspended for six games under similar circumstances in 2010, but eventually had his ban reduced to four games. Cox is allowed to participate in the Niners' offseason program.

Profootballtalk.com reports 49ers CB Perrish Cox is facing a civil lawsuit from the woman he was acquitted of sexually assaulting.
As is Cox's former teammate Demaryius Thomas, who was present "around" the time of the alleged assault, but never charged with a crime. As Profootballtalk points out, the lower standard of proof in civil cases means Cox could be hit with a costly judgment even though he was acquitted in his criminal case. The Niners surely knew of such a possibility when they signed Cox in March.

49ers signed CB Perrish Cox to a two-year contract.
Cleared of sexual assault charges last Friday, the 2010 fifth-round pick will get a chance to revive his career in one of the league's most dominating defenses after sitting out in 2011. His signing could indicate the 49ers don't expect to re-sign free agent Carlos Rogers. Although Cox had an excellent rookie season for the Broncos in 2010, he'll likely open the year behind Tarell Brown, Chris Culliver and Tramaine Brock on the depth chart.

Free agent CB Perrish Cox plans on playing in 2012 after being cleared of sexual assault charges on Friday, but not with the Broncos.
Cox was available to play in 2011, but drew scant interest as he awaited trial. According to the Denver Post, "multiple teams" let Cox know they'd be interested if his name was cleared. A fifth-round pick in 2010, Cox notched 58 tackles and an interception as a rookie.

Free agent CB Perrish Cox was acquitted on charges of sexual assault in a Douglas County court on Friday.
Cox could have faced two years to life if found guilty of raping a drunk woman and impregnating her. Instead, the 25-year-old cornerback was found not guilty for lack of evidence. According to the Denver Post's Mike Klis, "at least one team" has interest in Cox, a first- or second-round talent who fell to the fifth round of the 2010 draft due to previous off-field woes.
