The San Francisco 49ers today officially announced the following roster moves.

  • TE Erik Swoope has been signed to a one-year deal

Swoope worked out for the 49ers on Monday, and his impending signing was first reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Swoope later signed with the Oakland Raiders on May 22, 2019 and was released by the team on July 30, 2019.

A 28-year-old native of Studio City, CA, Swoope spent five years (2010-14) at the University of Miami where he played on the school's basketball team.
