Exclusive rights contracts are essentially one-year minimum contracts based on the number of accrued seasons a player has.
Okuayinonu, 26, signed on with the Titans as an undrafted free agent out of Maryland back in May. He was among their final roster cuts coming out of the preseason and has bounced on and off Tennessee’s practice squad.
The 49ers would later sign Okuayinonu to a contract last year.
In 2024, Okuayinonu appeared in 16 games for the 49ers and made three starts for them while recording 35 tackles, three sacks, a forced fumble and a pass defense.
