The San Francisco 49ers have re-signed safety Kai Nacua, who announced the news via his Twitter account (h/t to ESPN's
Nick Wagoner). He was scheduled to become an exclusive-rights free agent.
Update: The 49ers officially announced the signing on Thursday, February 11, a day after the initial report. The deal is for one year.
San Francisco initially signed Nacua to the practice squad on November 24, 2020. He was promoted to the active roster on December 2, 2020, was active for five games, and played three defensive snaps between Week 15 and 16 while contributing mostly on special teams in the other games.
The Cleveland Browns signed Nacua as an undrafted free agent out of BYU in 2017. In three NFL seasons that also included stints with the Baltimore Ravens (2018), Carolina Panthers (2018), and Indianapolis Colts (2019), he has appeared in 21 games with three starts and registered 15 tackles, a tackle for a loss, and a quarterback hit.

'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
Jimmy Garoppolo one of the reasons Colin Cowherd predicts 49ers to upset Cowboys
San Francisco 49ers fans are confident their team will emerge with a victory over the Dallas Cowboys this weekend, the opening weekend of the NFL playoffs. Kyle Shanahan's squad has become a bit of a sexy Wild Card pick.
The Cowboys are favored by three points, and the Niners are the road team. They boarded a Dallas-bound plane after Friday's practice and enter the matchup with a lot of confidence. The 49ers also could be healthier than they have been all season.
Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is still dealing with a thumb injury, but he delivered a gutsy performance in last weekend's regular-season finale against the Los Angeles Rams. He's just one of the
Packers praise 49ers WR Deebo Samuel: 'One of the more elite players in this league'
There's something significantly different about San Francisco 49ers on offense this week compared to where they were when they played the Green Bay Packers in Week 3 of the regular season.
That difference is the role of wide receiver Deebo Samuel, whose emergence as a running back throughout the course of the season makes the 49ers more difficult to stop than they were when they fell 30-28 to the Packers at Levi's Stadium on September 26.
Samuel had two carries for zero yards in that game, giving him a total of four carries for eight yards over his first three games. He had six total carries over his first nine games before exploding over the second half of the season to finish with 59 carries for 365 yards and eight touchdowns to go with his receiving stats of
'The production speaks for itself': Marc Ross says 49ers must exercise Nick Bosa's fifth-year option
It's time for NFL teams to start thinking about exercising the fifth-year options of their first-round picks in the 2019 NFL draft. That includes some pretty big names, like Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray. The window to exercise those options opened on Monday, with the deadline set for May 2.
NFL Media analyst Marc Ross went through each first-round pick from 2019, voting "Yes" or "No" to indicate whether he feels their respective teams should exercise the fifth-year option.
For the San Francisco 49ers, that means looking at the possibilities for defensive end Nick Bosa. This one seems like a no-brainer. Bosa is the team's best pass rusher and its best player on the defensive side of the ball. He is a foundational piece on defense, and the unit's
