  • Bartch was a 2020 fourth-round pick by the Jaguars and logged 41 appearances with 20 starts in Jacksonville.
  • He later joined the 49ers in 2023 and added starting experience on a playoff-caliber roster, including games at left guard.
  • Career totals cited in reporting list 26 starts split between left guard and right guard, highlighting positional flexibility.
  • No contract has been announced, and if a deal follows, he would be expected to compete for a reserve role on the interior.
