The deal guarantees Lowe $5.75 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Lowe was a sixth-round pick out of the 2022 NFL Draft. He\u2019s started 25 games in his career, including 10 last season. Lowe started the final four games of the regular season at left tackle while rookie Will Campbell was injured.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Lowe had a blown block rate of 6.3 percent last season in 288 snaps. That was the sixth-highest among all offensive linemen in the NFL. Lowe also allowed three sacks in limited action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This is the 49ers prioritizing offensive tackle over left guard. Lowe, 26, has experience at left tackle. Spencer Burford, 25, has experience at guard. This contract seems like the Niners went with Lowe over Burford, who also had an extremely high blown block rate last season at 5.7 percent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In the event the 49ers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ninersnation.com\/san-francisco-49ers-news\/156822\/trent-williams-is-believed-to-have-a-ton-of-leverage-over-the-49ers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">don\u2019t work out a deal<\/a> with Trent Williams, Lowe gives them an emergency option if they can\u2019t find a starter in the NFL Draft. Patriots fans will tell you that Lowe is an excellent backup or spot starter. After watching Campbell during the playoffs, some questioned whether Lowe would remain with the team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The San Francisco 49ers are signing former New England Patriots offensive tackle Vederian Lowe to a two-year deal&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":804424,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[7,6,52326],"class_list":{"0":"post-804423","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-nfl","10":"tag-san-francisco-49ers-free-agency"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116204769317109206","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/804423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=804423"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/804423\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/804424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=804423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=804423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=804423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
