The San Francisco 49ers announced two roster moves on Monday, one of which was first reported last week. The team officially signed kicker Greg Joseph to a one-year deal. He will provide offseason competition for third-year kicker Jake Moody, who struggled during the 2024 season.
To make room on the roster, the 49ers waived defensive lineman Alex Barrett.
San Francisco is set to begin organized team activities (OTAs) next week, marking the next phase of their offseason program.
The 49ers Communications staff provided the following rundown.
