The San Francisco 49ers announced six of their eight draft picks have inked rookie deals with the team.

The San Francisco 49ers are locking in their future stars. As of Friday, six of the team's eight draft picks have officially signed their rookie contracts, just in time for the start of rookie minicamp. While draft picks can participate in minicamp without a contract, getting these deals done early signals a smooth start to the offseason for the Niners.

The two players still waiting to put pen to paper are third-round selections: defensive end Romello Height and defensive tackle Gracen Halton. These holdouts are nothing unusual—rookie contract negotiations often involve minor quibbles over language or guarantees, but NFL rookie deals are largely standardized, four-year agreements with predetermined values.

Notably, none of the 49ers' 2026 draft class were first-round picks, meaning none of these players will have a fifth-year team option attached to their contracts. That's a small wrinkle, but it keeps the paperwork simpler for the front office.

Here's the full list of the six players who have officially signed their rookie deals:

With the draft class nearly fully signed, the 49ers can now focus on integrating these young players into their system. As the team continues to build for the future, fans can expect these rookies to hit the ground running in training camp.
