The #49ers are working to finalize a deal with veteran TE Logan Thomas, source says. After a 55-catch season with the #Commanders in 2023, Thomas returns to the NFC West, where he began his career as a QB for the #AZCardinals. pic.twitter.com/Lj43KXWbOf

Hoping Thomas can be a TE2 weapon to really be a good complement to Kittle.
Also hoping one of the other TEs can step up and show something - as both a blockers AND receiver.

Way it's looking so far, using a 3rd round pick on Latu == big oof.

I like the signing. Will probably be the best #2 TE we've ever paired with Kittle (I know that's not saying much). He's put up some decent receiving numbers the last few years when healthy. Anyone know how good of a blocker he is?

He used to be a QB? How is his blocking? I can't imagine a player converting from QB to TE being well versed with blocking.

Yeah, I'm curious how his blocking is. I think Kyle wants to use two inline TEs in some packages and inline TEs need to block OLBs and DEs.

Probably the end of Latu as a 49er

I Imagine we will play a lot of 2 Tight End sets with George Kittle in for blocking duties and this guy as the No 1 option for receiving.
He is a great option for 3rd and less than 4

I like this signing. A big target that has been productive over the years. I gotta think he's immediately the #2.

He's been playing TE a long time now and he's surprisingly solid as a blocker. He was the stereotypical "huge arm, throw it a mile but can't hit the broadside of the barn" QB but he took to TE pretty well. He has a huge frame at 6'6" and 250 and is a reliable receiver with QB awareness in being able to identify openings in a zone and getting open.
This late in the offseason this is a pretty nice pickup.
