The San Francisco 49ers announced the return of a familiar face, re-signing tight end Ross Dwelley to a one-year deal. Dwelley spent his first six NFL seasons with the 49ers and last season with the Atlanta Falcons.
Dwelley rejoins George Kittle in the 49ers’ tight end room, which also includes Luke Farrell, Mason Pline, Jake Tonges, and Brayden Willis. Dwelley earned just one catch for five yards in his only season with the Falcons.
The 49ers Communications staff provided the following rundown:
Dwelley (6-5, 245) originally entered the NFL after signing with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent on April 30, 2018. Throughout his seven-year career with the 49ers (2018-23) and Atlanta Falcons (2024), he has appeared in 101 games (17 starts) and registered 45 receptions for 523 yards and five touchdowns. He has also appeared in seven postseason contests.
A 30-year-old native of El Dorado Hills, CA, Dwelley attended the University of San Diego, where he appeared in 47 games (44 starts) and totaled 197 receptions for 2,305 yards and 26 touchdowns.
