The 49ers signed Vederian Lowe to a $12M deal, adding depth after losing key tackles and amid uncertainty over Trent Williams' future.

The San Francisco 49ers signed former New England Patriots tackle Vederian Lowe to a two-year, $12 million deal with $5.75 million guaranteed, addressing depth at offensive tackle after losing key players. The move comes amid a contract standoff with All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams, who is reportedly open to being traded if no new deal is reached. Williams, 37, remains a high-caliber starter but faces a $39 million cap hit, prompting the 49ers to explore trade options despite limited replacements. The Patriots expressed regret over losing Lowe, who played a crucial role in their 2024 Super Bowl run, while the 49ers aim to secure stability on their offensive line amid uncertainty surrounding Williams’ future.
