The San Francisco 49ers have announced the signings of tight end Eric Saubert and running back Patrick Taylor Jr. to one-year contracts. Saubert, who is joining his 10th NFL team since being drafted in the fifth round (RD 5) in 2017, has been recognized more for his run blocking than his pass-catching abilities in recent times. He spent the last nine games of the 2023 season with the Houston Texans, which should make him familiar with the 49ers' offensive strategies. Additionally, Saubert has contributed significantly as a special teams player throughout his career. He is set to turn 30 next month.
