As previously discussed on GH, the 49ers lost two tight ends from the 2023 season to the Falcons in free agency:
The Falcons signed former 49ers 2020 sixth-round pick Charlie Woerner in March. They added wide receiver Darnell Mooney in free agency and traded for Rondale Moore. On Monday, they again went with a tight end from the 49ers.
According to a statement by the Falcons, the team signed Ross Dwelley after a tryout on Monday:
Dwelley comes to Atlanta from the San Francisco 49ers, where he joined as an undrafted free agent in 2018. He played in 84 of a possible 99 regular-season games during his six seasons, starting 17.
The 49ers attempted to sign restricted free agent Brock Wright in free agency. However, the Detroit Lions matched the offer to keep a well-regarded tight end for the upcoming season. Fortunately, they were able to land another veteran tight end who can be of help to the offense.
The 49ers are set to sign Logan Thomas

Oh good. The 49ers needed more weapons on offense.

.@AllbrightNFL Somewhat surprised he didn’t get a look from Denver after the draft. Is that indicative of how they feel about Krull?

TE2 for the 49ers.

Solid pickup. When healthy he can still play.
