49ers Sign Safety Patrick McMorris to Bolster Depth

The low-cost move adds competition at a position the team skipped in the draft.

Overview

  • San Francisco signed free agent safety Patrick McMorris, according to his agency.
  • The addition supplies depth after the 49ers chose not to select a safety in the 2026 draft.
  • McMorris was a 2024 sixth-round pick by the Dolphins and recorded one tackle in six games on special teams.
  • He bounced between the Cardinals and Giants practice squads in 2025 and was released by the Giants this month after a tryout at the Browns' minicamp.
  • He will compete for a roster spot on special teams behind Ji'Ayir Brown and Malik Mustapha, with GM John Lynch saying he likes the safety group.
