The 49ers plan to sign former Chicago tight end Logan Paulsen, according to Fallon Smith of CSNBayArea.com (on Twitter). Paulsen is known primarily for his run blocking. It’s a one-year deal, tweets Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee.
Last year, Pro Football Focus gave Paulsen a 75.2 run blocking score, which put him in the top ten amongst all tight ends. He had a less impressive 68.8 pass blocking grade, putting him 22nd amongst all qualified TEs.
We had Paulsen ranked as one of the 15 best tight ends on the open market.
Good riddance! Every time I looked Paulsen either missed a block or had a holding or false start penalty on a big gain play.
The 49ers are signing a lot of mediocre players off of bad teams
The 49ers signed Brian Hoyer AND Matt Barkley today! Your comment was spot on!
