The San Francisco 49ers announced that they have signed four players to one-year extensions. They are defensive linemen
Kevin Givens and
Maurice Hurst, running back
JaMycal Hasty, and offensive lineman
Colton McKivitz.
The team also signed quarterback
Nate Sudfeld to a reserve/future contract.
The 49ers Communications staff provided the following rundown.
Givens (6-1, 285) appeared in 13 games and registered 17 tackles and one forced fumble,
Hasty (5-8, 205) appeared in 11 games and registered 16 carries for 68 yards and one touchdown to go along with 23 receptions for 157 yards,
Hurst (6-2, 291) appeared in two games and registered two tackles and
McKivitz (6-6, 301) made one start along the offensive line.
Sudfeld (6-6, 227) was originally drafted by the Washington Commanders in the sixth round (187th overall) in the 2016 NFL Draft. After being inactive for all 16 games of his rookie season, Washington waived Sudfeld on September 2, 2017, and he was signed to the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad the following day. Sudfeld spent four seasons with Philadelphia (2017-20), where he appeared in four games and completed 25 of 37 passing attempts for 188 yards and one touchdown.
Sudfeld signed with the 49ers as a free agent on April 7, 2021. He spent the majority of the season on the team's practice squad and was a gameday activation four times throughout the year.
A 28-year-old native of Modesto, CA, Sudfeld attended Indiana University, where he appeared in 37 games (26 starts) and finished his career as the school's all-time leader in passing touchdowns (61), passing yards (7,879), 350-yard games (six), 300-yard games (11), four-touchdown games (five) and three-touchdown games (10).

49ers' Jimmy Garoppolo on NFL future: "I'll worry about that at the end of the year"
Jimmy Garoppolo is setting himself up for a nice payday next year. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback is scheduled to be a free agent, and his market is expected to be much improved compared to this past offseason.
Garoppolo expected to be elsewhere this season, even after his trade stock plummeted following offseason shoulder surgery. With no one interested in a quarterback going through rehab, Garoppolo signed a restructured one-year deal with the 49ers to serve as Trey Lance's backup. The one caveat being that San Francisco couldn't use the franchise tag on him in 2023, allowing him to test the free agent market freely.
Garoppolo entered the season looking to support Lance and do what he could in his role as QB2. However, everything changed in Week 2 when
"One blade of grass": The message that propelled the 49ers to a shoutout win over the Saints
By Rohan Chakravarthi

Fresh off a short week after a game in Mexico City, the San Francisco 49ers fought their way to a 13-0 victory over the New Orleans Saints, providing them a one-game lead over the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC West ahead of their Week 15 showdown.
With the short week, alongside the travel and the adjusted practice schedule, many believed that the Saints could've been a potential trap game for the 49ers, given their ability to score in certain weeks, but more importantly, play shutdown defense.
However, the 49ers put those concerns to rest, dialing up their strongest defensive performance of the year and handing the Saints their first shutout in 332 games, when they, coincidentally, were last shutout by San Francisco in Week 17 of the 2001 season.
