The San Francisco 49ers announced on Thursday that the team has tendered one-year contacts to five of their exclusive-rights free agents. They are the following players:
- OL Daniel Brunskill
- TE Ross Dwelley
- CB Emmanuel Moseley
- QB Nick Mullens
- RB Jeff Wilson Jr.
An exclusive-rights free agent is an NFL player with fewer than three accrued seasons and an expiring contract. If a team offers these players a one-year contract at the league minimum, they are not eligible to negotiate with other teams. Essentially, this move will keep these five players with the 49ers in 2020.
San Francisco also officially announced the previously reported news that the team has exercised the 2020 contract options for cornerback K'Waun Williams and fullback Kyle Juszczyk. The Athletic first reported the news about Williams on Thursday while ESPN first reported the news about Juszczyk on Wednesday.
