FILE – Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas runs off the field against the New York Jets during an NFL football game, Dec. 24, 2023, in East Rutherford, N.J. San Francisco has agreed to a contract with free agent Thomas, giving the 49ers a proven backup to All-Pro George Kittle, according to a person familiar Monday, June 3, 2024.
After both Charlie Woerner and Ross Dwelley signed with the Atlanta Falcons in free agency, the 49ers looked thin at the position entering this week’s minicamp. Two players entering their second season with no career catches appeared to be next up in the pecking order: Brayden Willis, a 2023 seventh-round pick, dressed for all three playoff games last year but did not record a catch, while third-rounder Cam Latu tore his meniscus in training camp.
Thomas might also help fill out the 49ers’ trick-play options as he played quarterback at Virginia Tech, where he was a second-team All-ACC performer as a sophomore in 2011. He transitioned from quarterback to full-time tight end after his rookie season with the Arizona Cardinals, then bounced around practice squads before playing a handful of games for Buffalo and Detroit and ultimately landing with Washington.Ask Amy: I found out my son's friend is my son, too.
