Dockett had been released by the Cardinals after spending his first 10 NFL seasons in Arizona and making three Pro Bowl trips while being a fixture for the Cardinals defense.
However, he missed the entirety of the 2014 season with a torn ACL. The 33-year-old may be a replacement for Justin Smith, who still has yet to decide on retirement.
FOX Sports NFL reported on the 49ers prying Dockett away from their division rival on Twitter.
