Blake Hance will immediately go to the 53-man roster. SF will have to make a corresponding move to make room.
The book on Hance is what you might expect given SF track record: Good run blocker (70.3 PFF grade 2021), much worse pass pro (36.9) https://t.co/jiP6lDx9cB

Now, a key caveat re: Blake Hance's wildly disparate pass and run blocking splits: He played tackle last year in Cleveland.
— David Lombardi (@LombardiHimself) August 31, 2022
But in the 2020 playoffs, Hance played both guard and tackle. And his pass-blocking at guard was MUCH better than at tackle
49ers weren't the only team to put in a claim for him.
My current understanding is former #Browns OL Blake Hance was claimed. 4 teams tried to claim him.

Source: OL Blake Hance, who was cut from #Browns yesterday, has received calls from multiple teams around the league this morning. Wouldn't be surprised to see him claimed later today.

Claiming him means we continue his current contract or do we now negotiate?
They continue his current contract, which wasn't much, he's set to earn less than a million this season.
