Longtime 49ers backup tight end Ross Dwelley is heading to Atlanta. Dwelley signed with the Atlanta Falcons on Monday, the team announced. Dwelley joins another former 49ers backup tight end, Charlie Woerner, with the Falcons. Woerner signed a three-year, $12 million contract with the Falcons early in the free-agent signing period. Dwelley's move to the Falcons officially ends his six-year run with the 49ers after originally signing as an undrafted rookie in 2018 from the University of San Diego. "Thank you @49ers for the last 6 years of my career," Dwelley wrote on Instagram.
