NFL Insider Mike Garafolo reported Monday that the 49ers were working to finalize a deal with Thomas, 32.
The veteran tight end has been without a team since the Commanders waived him in early March, freeing up about $6.5 million in salary cap space.
He recorded 496 yards on 55 receptions while scoring four touchdowns during the 2023 NFL season.
In four seasons with Washington, Thomas accumulated 1,685 receiving yards and 14 TDs.
The former Virginia Tech standout is expected to return to the NFC West, where he began his NFL career as a quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals.
He then recorded short stints with the Miami Dolphins, New York Giants, Detroit Lions and Buffalo Bills before signing with the Commanders in 2020.
Thomas has earned over $27 million in career earnings so far.
His imminent arrival comes hot on the heels of the 49ers supposedly signed running back and reigning Offensive Player of the Year Christian McCaffrey to a two-year extension worth $19 million.
