The San Francisco 49ers announced on Monday the signings of defensive lineman Alex Barrett, and offensive linemen
Jake Brendel and Jaryd Jones-Smith. Both Barrett and Jones-Smith finished the 2019 season on the team's practice squad.
The Brendel signing was already known and
first reported on Friday by Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Barrett and Jones-Smith were among the three former practice squad members who were not re-signed by the 49ers on February 4. The other was defensive lineman Ray Smith.
Barrett (6-2, 250) entered the NFL after signing with the Detroit Lions as an undrafted rookie free agent on May 12, 2017. He appeared in two games that season and registered one tackle and a sack before being waived by the team on September 20, 2017, and then signed to the practice squad two days later.
Barrett was signed by the Oakland Raiders on April 6, 2019, and waived on September 3, 2019. The 49ers initially signed him to the practice squad on November 27, 2019.
Jones-Smith (6-7, 345) originally entered the NFL after signing with the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent on May 11, 2018. He was waived by the Texans on September 1, 2018. Jones-Smith signed with the Miami Dolphins on April 9, 2019, and was waived by the team on August 31, 2019.
The 49ers initially signed Jones-Smith to the practice squad on October 1, 2019.

Jones-Drew: Great defense, run game, Deebo Samuel can take playoff-bound 49ers far
Wide receiver Deebo Samuel called his San Francisco 49ers a "real dangerous" team heading into the postseason.
"It's about to get scary," Samuel said in a post-game interview.
NFL Media's Maurice Jones-Drew agrees. In the wide-open NFC playoffs, the 49ers could be one of the more intriguing teams. Most left them for dead after a 2-4 start to the season. However, they finished strong, winning eight of their last 11, including Sunday's thrilling 27-24 overtime victory to secure a playoff spot.
Jones-Drew believes the 49ers have what it takes to make some noise and go as far as they
'They'll be a real, real mess to deal with': Cowboys' Jerry Jones offers scouting report on 49ers, has no concerns over opposing fans
While the San Francisco 49ers are preparing to head on the road for the start of the playoffs, the Dallas Cowboys are preparing to host Kyle Shanahan's squad. Naturally, the last thing the Cowboys want to see is a takeover of their home stadium, which is what we saw at SoFi Stadium during the regular-season finale against the Los Angeles Rams.
On Tuesday morning, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones joined 105.3 The Fan and acknowledged that he has no control over who buys the tickets. However, he boasted about the Cowboys having the highest resale ticket prices in the NFL right now, which he feels could help limit the number of opposing fans for the playoff matchup. Although, he also
49ers-Cowboys: Everyone stepped up after Nick Bosa's injury, says D.J. Jones and Arik Armstead
It was hard to see San Francisco 49ers pass rusher Nick Bosa down on the field late in the first half of Sunday's playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys. Everyone, including the fans, knows how much the young defensive end means to the 49ers defense. After the team lost Bosa early last season, the pass rush never really got going.
Bosa was ruled out with a head injury and will likely enter the concussion protocol this week, ahead of the 49ers' next playoff game—a Divisional Round matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
"We were thinking of him, and I'm happy that he'll be OK, and it's not too serious," defensive lineman Arik Armstead said after Sunday's game. "Obviously, we can't wait to get him back. He's a force for us, and I love playing alongside
49ers Notebook: Shanahan on Jimmy Garoppolo's mistakes; D.J. Jones' high praise for Arik Armstead; Deebo gets his wish
What did Kyle Shanahan think of Jimmy Garoppolo's performance against the Cowboys on Sunday? And what did D.J. Jones say after the 49ers' 23-17 win over the Cowboys that left Arik Armstead flattered?
Let's answer those questions and more in this roundup of notes and quotes from the 49ers' postgame press conferences.
* The good and not-so-good for Jimmy G: Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo had an up-and-down performance against the Cowboys on Sunday, completing 16-of-25 passes for 172 yards with zero touchdowns and one interception. Garoppolo went 11-for-14 for 133 yards in the first half but cooled down considerably in the second half while having a couple moments that would have proven to be too costly had the Cowboys been able to successfully rally
