The San Francisco 49ers announced on Tuesday afternoon that they signed 14 free agents to Reserve/Future contracts:
OL Isaac Alarcon
DL Evan Anderson
CB Eli Apple
WR Junior Bergen
DL William Bradley-King
DB Derrick Canteen
LB Andrew Farmer II
S Darrick Forrest
LB Jalen Graham
QB Adrian Martinez
OL Drake Nugent
OL Brandon Parker
WR Malik Turner
DL Sebastian Valdez
This is effectively the practice squad entering the offseason, with plenty of potential changes to come. The 49ers signed Forrest to the practice squad during the playoffs and had seen enough from him in a short period to sign him to a contract.
Farmer II signed a Reserve/Future contract with the Denver Broncos this time last year, only to be released on August 25, 2025.
The 49ers have some interesting decisions to make on the roster this offseason. For example, they just received great production from their returner spots. Still, both Brian Robinson and Skyy Moore are free agents. Jordan James should take Robinson’s spot, and there will inevitably be a rookie added to the mix. But did Junior Bergen prove he deserves a crack at the returner jobs, or is Moore good enough to warrant a roster spot, despite not contributing on offense?
Adrian Martinez and Kurtis Rourke will likely battle for a roster or practice squad spot, depending on what happens with Mac Jones this offseason.
