According to Matt Barrows of The Athletic, the San Francisco 49ers are re-signing defensive tackle
Kevin Givens to a one-year, $2.1 million deal with $2 million guaranteed. Givens was scheduled to become a restricted free agent.
It's an under-the-radar move with Monday's big Bay Area storyline being the 49ers signing former Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle
Javon Hargrave to
a four-year, $84 million deal.
San Francisco signed Givens (6-1, 285) as an undrafted free agent out of Penn State in 2019. He registered 20 tackles, seven tackles for a loss, three quarterback hits, and a pass defensed through 13 game appearances (11 starts) with the 49ers last season, per
Pro Football Reference.
Givens, 26, has recorded 51 tackles, three sacks, two passes defensed, and a forced fumble in 40 game appearances (12 starts) through his four NFL seasons.

DT Javon Hargrave signing with 49ers paying off immediately for both sides

The San Francisco 49ers have started off the season hot, improving to 3-0 fresh off a Thursday Night victory over the New York Giants this week in their home opener.
It's been a two-sided effort for the 49ers, who have scored 30 points in each of the team's three games, while limiting opponents to 42 points overall.
A big portion of their defensive success? The talent on their defensive line, and this season, it has been headlined by star defensive tackle Javon Hargrave, who leads the team with 10 quarterback hurries.
Coming into the season, it was known that Hargrave was a premier pass-rushing talent for the 49ers, but he's been on a tear to start the season, arguably serving as the team's best player on that end, which is exactly what San Francisco
49ers Notebook: Christian McCaffrey's happy Rams memories; Emmanuel Sanders' lasting impact; Shanahan on why Brock Purdy is the 'real deal'
It's time for the next chapter in the rivalry between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams, which has produced more than its share of memorable moments in recent years.
Most of those moments have belonged to the 49ers, who have won eight regular season games in a row over the Rams. The most recent chapter in the rivalry was particularly memorable for Christian McCaffrey, who ran for a touchdown, caught a touchdown and threw a touchdown in a 31-14 win at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood on October 30, 2022 -- just ten days after he was traded to the 49ers from the Carolina Panthers.
With the 49ers returning to SoFi Stadium this weekend, McCaffrey spoke a bit on Friday about what made that game special. We'll get into that in this version of 49ers Notebook, along
49ers' Brock Purdy reveals one thing Jimmy Garoppolo didn't teach him
The first half of Sunday's game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams ended with Brock Purdy keeping the football for a quarterback sneak into the end zone, tying the game 17-17. It was a play that gave the Niners a lot of momentum against their division rivals.

One reason why Deebo Samuel and the 49ers love Brock Purdy
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy wasn't perfect on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, yet the team was talented and disciplined enough to beat its division rivals 30-23.
Purdy had arguably his worst game as a starter. The second-year quarterback earned an overall Pro Football Focus grade of 65.1, his lowest regular-season mark since Week 13 of 2022. He finished the game 17-of-25 for 206 yards and a passer rating of 93.1, a new regular-season career-low as a starter. The stat line might have been better had Purdy connected on a few passes to open receivers that were overthrown.
After the game, when asked about the offense's shortcomings against the Rams, Purdy
