49ers Releasing TE Logan Thomas

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the 49ers are releasing TE Logan Thomas.

In corresponding moves, the Commanders are also placing DL Austin Bryant on IR after signing P Pressley Harvin III and DL Jonathan Garvin. 

Thomas, 33, is a former fourth-round pick of the Cardinals back in 2014. He lasted just over a year in Arizona before he was waived and later claimed by the Dolphins.

Thomas was in the third year of his four-year, $2,652,092 rookie contract when the Dolphins waived him in 2017 and he was later claimed by the Giants. He had a brief stint with the Lions after he made the decision to convert to tight end and later caught on with the Bills.

Buffalo declined to tender Thomas a restricted offer and he later signed on with the Lions. He signed a one-year deal with Washington in 2020, then signed a three-year, $24 million extension in 2021. 

Washington released him earlier this offseason and he signed with San Francisco in June on a one-year, $1.2 million deal.

In 2023, Thomas appeared in 16 games for the Commanders and recorded 55 receptions for 496 yards (9.0 YPC) and four touchdowns.
