49ers Sign Patriots OT Vederian Lowe to Two-Year Deal for Tackle Depth

The move bolsters tackle depth with Trent Williams’ contract unresolved.

Overview

  • San Francisco agreed to a two-year contract with Vederian Lowe worth up to $12 million with $5.75 million guaranteed, according to multiple reports.
  • A 2022 sixth-round pick, Lowe has appeared in 46 games with 25 starts and logged four starts at left tackle in 2025 after Will Campbell’s injury.
  • Reporters characterize the addition as swing-tackle insurance that could serve as an emergency option if the Trent Williams situation does not get resolved.
  • Lowe posted a 6.3% blown block rate over 288 snaps last season and allowed three sacks, providing evaluable depth rather than a locked-in starter.
  • The signing points to a focus on tackle over guard, with Spencer Burford noted as a less likely solution after a 5.7% blown block rate last season.
