Report: Tight end Thomas, 49ers finalizing free agent contract originally appeared in NBC Sports Bay Area
George Kittle and the 49ers’ restricted room are gaining momentum.
Veteran tight end Logan Thomas is expected to sign a free agent contract with San Francisco, NFL Media’s Mike Garafolo reported Monday, citing a source.
Thomas is an eight-year NFL veteran who returns to the NFC West, where the Arizona Cardinals selected him as a quarterback in the fourth round of the 2014 draft.
At age 26, Thomas went from quarterback to tight end, with stints with the Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions before finding his way with the Washington Commanders.
The 32-year-old had 55 receptions for 496 yards and four touchdowns for the Commanders during the 2023 NFL season in 16 regular-season games.
Thomas spent the last four seasons in Washington, including a career year in 2020 where the veteran tight end recorded 72 receptions for 670 yards and six touchdowns.
The 32-year-old joins Kittle in a 49ers tight end room that looks drastically different from last season following the departures of Charlie Woerner and Ross Dwelley in free agency. Thomas will try to make an impact any way he can as San Francisco seeks its sixth Vince Lombardi Trophy.
