Although these players went unselected during the draft, they still have a path to the NFL by signing with teams, typically on minimal-salary contracts. For many, it's the start of their professional journey—and in some cases, the beginning of unexpectedly successful careers. Several undrafted free agents have gone on to exceed expectations, making this phase a crucial part of the offseason.
Below is a running list of undrafted players the 49ers have reportedly signed or plan to sign, organized by the order in which the signings were reported (latest first). The team will provide an official announcement once any signings are finalized.
Notably, sometimes early reports refer to tryouts rather than actual signings, so details may change as confirmations come in. Additionally, a player may initially be reported as signing with the 49ers but ultimately sign with another team.
