BREAKING NEWS: The 49ers formally declare the addition of two free agents……..

The San Francisco 49ers have officially confirmed the acquisition of two free agents: former Green Bay Packers running back Patrick Taylor Jr. and tight end Eric Saubert. Taylor joins the team following the announcement on Monday afternoon, while Saubert signed a one-year contract.

Eric Saubert, standing between 6’5″ and weighing around 248 to 253 pounds, brings versatility and experience to the Niners. Drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft from the University of Drake, Saubert’s career highlights include a season with 15 receptions for 148 yards. Although not as prolific as some, his physical attributes make him a valuable addition, especially in formations like 12 personnel, where he can contribute as a blocking tight end alongside George Kittle. This move aligns with the team’s strategy to diversify their offensive options while maintaining a balance in their roster composition.
