The 49ers waived Bergen on August 12. Fortunately for the second-year player, he didn't remain without an NFL team for long.
The New York Jets announced Wednesday that they have signed Bergen, giving the former 49ers draft pick an opportunity to compete for a roster spot.
Bergen spent his rookie season on the 49ers' practice squad and has yet to appear in an NFL game. San Francisco selected him out of Montana with the No. 252 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Now, Bergen will look to make an impression with the Jets and earn his first opportunity to appear in an NFL game.
