The 49ers on Monday announced a pair of signings, including the re-signing of free agent tight end Ross Dwelley. They also officially announced the addition of defensive back Myles Hartsfield.
Dwelley joined the 49ers as an undrafted free agent following the 2018 draft. He developed into the team’s second TE during the 2019 campaign where he also earned six starts while playing a full 16-game slate. He held that TE2 distinction until being overtaken by Charlie Woerner during the 2021 campaign.
Still, Dwelley’s versatility has made him a valuable cog in San Francisco’s offense and now he’s returning to battle for a roster spot in his sixth season.
Hartsfield’s signing was first reported last week. He spent the last three seasons with the Panthers after they signed him following the 2020 draft where he wasn’t selected.
In three seasons he played in 41 games with 19 starts. Hartsfield posted 118 tackles, five tackles for loss, 1.0 sacks and seven pass breakups.
