Reserve/future contracts allow NFL teams to retain the rights to players who were not on the active roster at the end of the season. These deals officially take effect at the start of the new league year on March 11, at which point the players will count against the salary cap.
By signing these players now, the 49ers ensure some continuity heading into the offseason, while creating competition for roster spots as the team begins preparations for the 2026 NFL season.
