49ers Claim OL Blake Hance Off Waivers From Browns

The San Francisco 49ers are claiming OL Blake Hance off of waivers from the Cleveland Browns, per the wire.

Hance, 26, wound up going undrafted out of Northwestern back in April of 2019. He later agreed to a three-year, $1.755 million contract with the Bills but was waived a few weeks later and caught on with the Commanders. 

From there, he had brief stints with the Jaguars and Jets practice squads before the Browns signed him in January of last year. 

In 2021, Hance appeared 17 games and made eight starts at guard.
