Overview
- The 49ers signed Kevin Givens to a one-year contract on Sunday, July 26, 2026, and waived defensive tackle Evan Anderson to clear the roster spot.
- Givens returns as a depth piece with veteran leadership after joining San Francisco as an undrafted free agent in 2019 and appearing in 70 regular-season games and two Super Bowls.
- The deal pushes Givens's career earnings past $10 million for the first time, a noted personal milestone reported alongside the signing.
- The team placed Alfred Collins, Isaac Guerendo, George Kittle and Mykel Williams on the active/physically unable to perform list as it begins training-camp preparations.
- The move gives the 49ers an experienced rotational option on the interior defensive line as they head into a preseason that opens at Levi's Stadium against the Tennessee Titans on August 13.
