49ers Sign Tight End Brock Wright from Lions in Rare Restricted Free Agency Move

The San Francisco 49ers have made a strategic acquisition by signing tight end Brock Wright, previously with the Detroit Lions, marking a notable instance of restricted free agency activity.

  • Brock Wright, previously a restricted free agent with the Detroit Lions, has signed an offer sheet with the San Francisco 49ers.
  • The Detroit Lions have five days to match the offer sheet; if they decline, Wright will join the 49ers for the 2024 season.
  • Wright has been an integral part of the Lions' running game, primarily serving as a block-first tight end.
  • The move adds intrigue to the Lions-49ers rivalry, especially after the 49ers' comeback victory over the Lions in the NFC championship game.
  • The 49ers are seeking to bolster their tight end depth following the departure of Charlie Woerner to the Atlanta Falcons.
