San Francisco 49ers News & Rumors

49ers To Sign T D.J. Humphries

April 29th, 2025 at 4:14pm CST by Sam Robinson

After a brief stint in Kansas City, D.J. Humphries will return to the NFC West. The longtime Cardinals left tackle is signing with the 49ers, ESPN.com’s Jeremy Fowler reports.

Humphries upped his career start total to 100 through two Chiefs starts, but he ended up giving way to Joe Thuney. The Chiefs kicked their All-Pro left guard outside in an effort to stabilize the position. That plan largely worked out, only for it to be exposed in Super Bowl LIX. The Chiefs have since given ex-49ers swing tackle Jaylon Moore a two-year, $30MM deal; the 49ers will add Humphries from Kansas City as a possible swingman.

The 49ers will hope for a better version of Humphries, as he is now more than a year removed from the December 2023 ACL tear that ended his Cardinals stay. Humphries has battled a host of injuries during his career. In his first Chiefs start, the former first-rounder — given the starting job soon after signing — went down with a hamstring issue. He never reacquired the team’s LT job, only coming in for a Week 18 start that featured the AFC’s top seed resting most of its first-stringers.

Now 31, Humphries profiles as a swing tackle behind starters Trent Williams and Colton McKivitz. The 49ers needed Moore to close out last season, as Williams went down with an ankle injury. Considering Williams is heading into an age-37 season, acquiring a proven backup makes sense for San Francisco. Humphries has only played left tackle since 2017; he and then-Cardinals LT starter flipped sides after the 2016 season. The team had eyed converted guard Spencer Burford as a potential swing option; the fourth-year player will at least have competition for that role now.

The 49ers have not drafted a tackle since taking Moore in the 2021 fifth round. Moore moved up in the pecking order after Mike McGlinchey‘s 2023 Broncos commitment made McKivitz the new right tackle. With Moore now gone — at a price that surprised John Lynch — the 49ers needed a replacement. They have plenty of Humphries intel to go on, with the Lynch-Kyle Shanahan regime having seen the blocker in NFC West matchups from 2017-23.

Humphries’ stay as Arizona’s LT earned him two lucrative deals with the team — in 2020 and ’22. The team cut bait on the three-year, $51MM extension early in Monti Ossenfort‘s GM tenure, having designated him a post-June 1 cut last year. Pro Football Focus graded Humprhies 51st among 81 tackle regulars during a 15-start 2023. While Humphries has dealt with injuries in each of the past three seasons, he missed just one game from 2019-21. The 49ers will hope the 10-year veteran being another year removed from his most serious injury will help him back on track.

49ers, George Kittle Agree To Extension

April 29th, 2025 at 8:10am CST by Adam La Rose

Extension talks with George Kittle have produced an agreement. The All-Pro tight end announced during an appearance on the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast that he has signed a new deal.

This will be a four-year pact, per Kittle. The deal is worth $76.4MM in total and includes $40MM in guarantees. The latter figure consists of $35MM locked in at signing along with $5MM in guarantees covering the 2027 campaign. 2025 had represented the final year of Kittle’s contract, but he is now on the books through 2029; his scheduled cap charge for the coming year ($22.03MM) will no doubt be lowered as a result of the agreement.

This deal carries an annual average value of $19.1MM, surpassing the AAV of Trey McBride‘s recent Cardinals extension. Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk cautions, though, that the final year of the contract contains an inflated figure to push that mark from $18MM to its record-breaking point. Kittle had been attached to a $15MM-per-year pact, but his future has now been secured by means of another lucrative 49ers commitment on the offensive side of the ball.

Kittle surpassed 1,000 receiving yards for the fourth time in his career in 2024, and his eight touchdowns marked the second-highest total in a single season for him to date. That production helped his leverage in contract talks, and prior to the draft it was reported team and player were far apart on terms. Originally, the 31-year-old was absent from the start of voluntary offseason workouts. Kittle did attend on Friday, though, and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport notes negotiations gained steam from that point on.

A report stating the former fifth-rounder was aiming to become the league’s highest-paid tight end – with that being the reason for his early absence – drew a public rebuttal from the six-time Pro Bowler himself. Nonetheless, Kittle is now atop the position’s financial pecking order as he looks to remain a mainstay in the pass and run games for San Francisco. The team’s list of remaining extensions now includes quarterback Brock Purdy and linebacker Fred Warner, both of whom are in attendance for the start of offseason work.

The 49ers made 11 selections in this year’s draft, tied for the most in the NFL. None of those picks were used on a tight end, an indication the team would continue relying on Kittle (along with free agent addition Luke Farrell) for 2025 and beyond. San Francisco’s season did not go according to plan last year as the team dealt with a slew of injuries at key positions. Kittle continued a run of making at least 14 appearances which dates back to 2021, though, and the 49ers will be counting on that stretch of availability extending deep into his career.

As San Francisco prepares for a period with Purdy attached to one of the league’s most lucrative deals, the team also has big-ticket commitments in place with Kittle, wideout Brandon Aiyuk and running back Christian McCaffrey. If that nucleus is to guide the 49ers to a Super Bowl, Kittle will no doubt continue operating as a central figure in the team’s success.

49ers Announce 6 UDFA Signings

April 27th, 2025 at 6:08pm CST by Nikhil Mehta

After tying for a league-high 11 draft picks over the weekend, the 49ers have added another six players to their 2025 rookie class. Here are the team’s undrafted free agent signings:

Isaiah Neyor, WR (Nebraska)
Jakob Robinson, CB (BYU)
Stone Blanton, LB (Mississippi State)
Drew Moss, OL (Colorado State)
Sebastian Valdez, DL (Washington)
Corey Kiner, RB (Cincinnati)

The 6-foot-4, 218-pound Neyor ran a 4.40-second 40-yard dash at the Combine, where he also posted elite numbers in the broad and long jumps. Despite his enticing athletic profile, he went undrafted due to injuries and a lack of production in college. After redshirting as a freshman in 2019, the former Wyoming Cowboy emerged as a deep threat in 2020 and 2021. He transferred to Texas in 2022, but suffered a torn ACL in the preseason that he re-injured in 2023, limiting him to just one game as a Longhorn. Neyor transferred once more, this time to Nebraska, but struggled to produce in 2024 with just 34 catches for 455 yards in 10 games. His intriguing size/speed combination makes him a strong blocker and could translate into special teams duties in the NFL as he develops as a receiver.

Moss started at right tackle for two years at Lamar before transferring to Colorado State in 2023. He started at right tackle during his first season in Fort Collins before playing his best ball at right guard in 2024. His arm length will likely restrict him to the interior in the NFL, but his versatility, experience, and grit will help him battle for a roster spot.

Kiner is a smaller, compact back at 5-foot-9 and 203 pounds who enters the NFL after back-to-back years with over 1,000 rushing yards at Cincinnati. He originally committed to LSU, but transferred to his hometown Bearcats after just one year in Baton Rouge. Kiner runs with balance and strength to break tackles, but his speed and acceleration are below typical NFL standards at the position. He lacks the physical profile and experience of a special teams contributor, but showed some promise as a pass-catcher in 2024 by catching all 16 of his targets.

49ers’ Malik Mustapha Could Miss Start Of 2025 Season

April 27th, 2025 at 4:45pm CST by Nikhil Mehta

The 49ers dealt with a multitude of injuries throughout the 2024 season, and one more has just come to light.

Safety Malik Mustapha injured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in Week 18, per ESPN’s Nick Wagoner, which required surgery and a lengthy recovery that could stretch into the 2025 season. The 2024 fourth-rounder previously tore the same ACL in college; this injury was a tear to the graft from the reparative procedure in 2022. It is not believed to have impacted other parts of his knee.

Mustapha is progressing well through his rehab process at the 49ers’ team facility, but he is unlikely to be ready for the start of the 2025 season. He returned from his January 2022 injury to play 10 games in the 2023 college football season, indicating that he should have a chance at a midseason return to the field this fall.

The 49ers’ will need to replace the 756 snaps Mustapha played as a rookie, primarily at free safety. They drafted two defensive backs this weekend – Western Kentucky’s Upton Stout and Kansas State’s Marques Sigle – but both spent most of their time in the slot in college. Instead, veterans Richie Grant, Jason Pinnock, George Odum could start the season at safety alongside 2023 third-rounder Ji’Ayir Brown.

49ers Take QB Kurtis Rourke In Seventh Round

April 26th, 2025 at 5:07pm CST by Ely Allen

We know the 49ers’ luck with seventh-round passers. They add another one today, drafting Indiana quarterback Kurtis Rourke at No. 227 overall. Rourke is the younger brother of fellow Canadian passer Nathan Rourke, who is currently playing in the Canadian Football League after failing to make a 53-man roster in the NFL in 2024.

Rourke started one year for the Hoosiers after five seasons at Ohio. Even with the upgrade in competition, Rourke delivered his best statistical season to date recording career highs in completion percentage (69.4) and passing touchdowns (29) while throwing for 3,042 yards and only five interceptions. Rourke did display some mobility with the Bobcats, as well, churning out 832 yards and 11 touchdowns on the ground before transferring to Indiana.

Rourke has an ideal, big-bodied frame and a natural throwing motion. He throws with pace and has a deep ball with excellent timing and touch. He’s been tenacious in his career, as well, starting all but one game for the Hoosiers in 2024 despite multiple injuries limiting him in prior seasons.

In San Francisco, Rourke will compete with last year’s undrafted rookie Tanner Mordecai for a QB3 role behind Brock Purdy — famously also a seventh-round pick — and Mac Jones. Despite his lack of acclaim coming into the draft, it’s worth keeping an eye on Rourke as the 49ers have a tendency for striking gold with their backup passers.

Latest On 49ers, TE George Kittle

April 26th, 2025 at 8:55am CST by Sam Robinson

TODAY, 8:55am: George Kittle was in the building yesterday for offseason conditioning, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The two sides are continuing to discuss an extension.

THURSDAY, 10:50am: While Ja’Marr Chase widened the gap between the wide receiver and tight end markets last month, the latter group has inched closer to the $20MM-per-year barrier via Trey McBride‘s $19MM-AAV Cardinals extension. A more accomplished player is likely targeting that deal.

George Kittle has moved past his early-career health issues, placing himself on the Hall of Fame radar by becoming an integral part of the 49ers’ offense — both as a pass catcher and blocker. Kittle is now a six-time Pro Bowler who has snared five All-Pro honors. The eight-year veteran’s resume is probably already Canton-worthy, and this year may serve as his last chance to capitalize on his top form.

The 49ers and Kittle are believed to be far apart on a third contract, and The Athletic’s Dianna Russini indicated Wednesday his recent absence from San Francisco’s offseason program relates to his desire to become the NFL’s highest-paid tight end. Kittle then countered by replying to a Russini tweet, saying this was not the case. Kittle said previously (via NBC Sports’ Matt Maiocco) he usually does not show for voluntary workouts until on-field work begins. OTAs do not begin until May.

Russini, however, confirmed after more conversations with league figures (video link) Kittle’s early absence from team work is a contract-related situation. Kittle, 31, would not need to report until 49ers minicamp to avoid being fined. He did not hold out in 2020, and the 49ers hammered out a then-record five-year, $75MM extension during training camp. The former fifth-round pick has the chance to top that deal soon, considering where the cap now resides, and the 49ers likely have received an ask from the standout to eclipse McBride’s numbers.

The 49ers are believed to have made Kittle an offer that brought better guarantees, per Russini, compared to McBride’s extension. It is not known if that means total guarantees or fully guaranteed money. McBride secured $43MM in total and $32.5MM in signing. McBride has the age advantage on Kittle here, going into his age-26 season, but the ninth-year 49ers vet can certainly counter that he remains in peak form and has stayed healthy. An All-Pro in each of the past three seasons, Kittle added a fourth 1,000-yard year in 2024 and missed only two games. He has not missed more than three in a season since 2020.

San Francisco does not appear to have matched McBride’s $19MM-per-year number yet, and it will be interesting to see how far Kittle is willing to go to become the NFL’s first $20MM-per-year tight end. It can be argued tight ends are underpaid relative to their value, as team-friendly deals for Travis Kelce and Rob Gronkowski helped suppress the market over the past 13 years. Kittle can strike a blow for the position, but his extension talks come during the same offseason in which Brock Purdy joins him in a contract year. Purdy showed up for the start of 49ers workouts, and the sides are believed to be progressing on an extension.

After the 49ers traded Deebo Samuel, they are not expected to have Brandon Aiyuk to start the season. That situation could give Kittle leverage, should the decorated performer use it, as his contract year nears. Teams are monitoring this situation, per Russini, though no trade request — which helped shape the Samuel and Aiyuk negotiations — has come out.

49ers Select DE Mykel Williams At No. 11

April 24th, 2025 at 8:23pm CST by Sam Robinson

The 49ers have, unsurprisingly, added along the defensive front in the opening round of the draft. Georgia edge rusher Mykel Williams is headed to San Francisco.

D-line loomed as a 49ers need for months heading up to the draft, and the NFC West franchise will make Williams the first Georgia defender taken in this draft. Jalon Walker had been expected to hold that honor, but the hybrid defender remained on the board at No. 11. San Francisco will go with Williams, a former top-10 national recruit who contributed for the Bulldogs across three seasons.

Williams took a “30” visit to the Bay Area to meet with 49ers brass, and the 49ers will take him with their highest pick since the 2021 Trey Lance misfire. Williams profiles as a bookend to Nick Bosa. The 49ers have gone with veterans in that slot in recent years, cycling through the likes of Samson Ebukam, Charles Omenihu, Arden Key and Leonard Floyd. San Francisco cut Floyd earlier this offseason, freeing up a spot opposite Bosa. Williams’ draft position points to a clear starter path, and the 49ers will line him up on a D-line that could still use some help up the middle.

Williams’ size (6-foot-5, 260 pounds) and athleticism gave him some of the highest upside amongst edge rushers in the 2025 class. He posted 4.5 sacks in each of his first two seasons with the Bulldogs, but a lingering ankle injury limited his production in 2024. Williams recorded five sacks and nine tackles for loss, figures short of what many other Day 1 prospects managed but enough for a second-team All-SEC nod. Williams joined Walker in participating in a late pro day this month in Athens, and the 49ers evidently liked the final returns from the one-time elite prospect.

Lingering injury concerns do not appear to exist with Williams, who also worked out at Georgia’s pro day. The 49ers had also been viewed as a potential landing spot for defensive tackle Walter Nolen, but they will take a player whose production did not quite match his recruiting profile in college. That said, the 49ers still employ well-regarded D-line coach Kris Kocurek. Rather than having a midlevel free agent to use opposite Bosa, the veteran assistant now has a high-profile prospect to develop.

Walter Nolen Expected To Go In Top 15; 49ers Listed As Potential Fit

April 24th, 2025 at 4:12pm CST by Nikhil Mehta

Ole Miss defensive tackle Walter Nolen could be taken earlier in the first round than expected, according to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer. Some teams even have Nolen ranked higher than Michigan’s Mason Graham, the consensus DT1 in the class and an expected top-10 pick.

Nolen’s explosiveness and physicality give him the potential to be an impactful interior disruptor in the NFL, but he needs to improve the mental aspects of his game to reach that upside. Nolen has character concerns – specifically a perceived sense of entitlement and lack of maturity – but an organization like the 49ers with a strong culture and leaders in their defensive line room could bet on their ability to develop him as a player and a person.

Nolen’s late rise could even see him break into the first 10 picks with multiple links to the Panthers at No. 8, per ESPN’s Matt Miller. Carolina, however, has also been repeatedly connected to Georgia linebacker/edge rusher Jalon Walker, which would make Nolen a minor surprise.

Miller also listed the 49ers and the Cowboys as potential landing spots just outside of the top 10, though both teams may have other positional prioritize. Dallas seems poised to add a wide receiver or offensive lineman, and San Francisco is expected to take an edge rusher at 11, per The Athletic’s Diana Russini.

Texas’ Kelvin Banks Jr. could be target for the Cowboys at 12, according to Miller, but the 49ers are expected to add at least one guard in the draft, per Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. Banks played tackle in college, but 33.5-inch arms are on the short side for the position in the NFL. His elite movement skills could make him an excellent guard in San Francisco’s wide zone scheme right away as he trains to replace Trent Williams at left tackle in the long-term. The 11th pick was specifically mentioned as a floor for Banks by Breer, indicating that he’s in play for the 49ers’ first-rounder.
