The San Francisco 49ers officially announced the signings of defensive tackle Shakel Brown and offensive tackle Chris Hubbard to one-year contracts. The corresponding move was to waive defensive lineman Earnest Brown IV and offensive lineman Corey Luciano. That puts the Niners back under the 90-man roster limit.

Luciano spent time on the practice squad last season and was elevated to the active roster in November. Luciano appeared in two games with the 49ers after originally signing with the team as an undrafted free agent in May 2023 after the NFL Draft. Brown IV signed with San Francisco on a futures contract this past February.

The 49ers must’ve kept a close on on Shakel Brown. He was in Santa Clara for a pre-draft visit. As was the case with the 2024 draft class, Brown is on the older side for a prospect entering the NFL. He’s 25 entering his second season.

Hubbard is not only competing for a roster spot, but playing time. This will be Hubbard’s 11th NFL season. It’s worth noting that he has playoff experience as well. He started six postseason games. Last year, he started the first nine games of the season with the Tennesee Titans. We’ll reach out to Titans fans for more on Hubbard.
