The San Francisco 49ers announced the re-signing of defensive end Jordan Willis to a one-year deal. He was an unrestricted free agent.

San Francisco traded for Willis on October 27, 2020, sending a 2022 sixth-round pick in exchange for the defender and a 2021 seventh-round pick.
Willis, 26, has recorded 80 tackles, 12 tackles for a loss, 19 quarterback hits, 8.5 sacks, a pass defensed, and two forced fumbles in 60 game appearances (two starts) through his five NFL seasons with the Bengals, New York Jets, and 49ers.
