The San Francisco 49ers are signing offensive tackle Vederian Lowe to a two-year contract, according to a report from @RapSheet. The deal is worth a maximum of $12 million and includes $5.75 million in guaranteed money.
Lowe joins the 49ers after spending the 2023 season with the New England Patriots. During his tenure in New England, Lowe appeared in 11 games and earned eight starts, providing much-needed stability to a transitioning offensive unit. Originally a sixth-round selection by the Minnesota Vikings in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Illinois, Lowe has quickly established himself as a reliable depth piece with starting potential in the league.
The move addresses a key area of concern for San Francisco as they look to fortify the protection around quarterback Brock Purdy. By adding Lowe, the 49ers secure a veteran presence who can rotate in behind starters Trent Williams and Colton McKivitz. This signing reflects the team's ongoing strategy of maintaining high-level competition and insurance across the offensive line ahead of the upcoming season.
