According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the San Francisco 49ers have signed fourth-round draft pick Gracen Halton<\/a> to his four-year rookie contract. The team selected the former Oklahoma defensive tackle with the No. 107 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

With the move, the 49ers have signed their entire 2026 draft class.<\/p>\n

Halton joins a defensive front that includes Nick Bosa<\/a>, Osa Odighizuwa<\/a>, and three 2025 draft picks\u2014Mykel Williams<\/a>, Alfred Collins<\/a>, and CJ West<\/a>. San Francisco also added edge rusher Romello Height<\/a> in the third round of this year’s draft, further strengthening its pass-rush rotation.<\/p>\n

According to OverTheCap, Halton’s four-year deal is worth approximately $5.64 million. It includes a signing bonus of about $1.26 million and carries a 2026 salary-cap hit of roughly $1.2 million.<\/p>\n

Halton appeared in 47 games over four seasons at Oklahoma, finishing with 84 total tackles, 17.5 tackles for a loss, and 8.5 sacks, per Sports Reference<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As a senior in 2025, Halton served as a team captain and earned second-team All-SEC honors. He posted 33 tackles and 3.5 sacks while helping the Sooners reach the College Football Playoff.<\/p>\n

All rookie contracts are set at four years under the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), which extends through the 2030 season. Only first-round picks come with a team option for a fifth year, which doesn’t apply to any of the 49ers’ selections this year.<\/p>\n

“Halton is a win-early and clean-up-late player,” Dane Brugler of The Athletic wrote in his player analysis. “He has outstanding get-off quickness for early disruption when he times the snap. (Alabama center Parker Brailsford<\/a> called him the toughest player he faced in 2025, because of his initial quickness.)<\/p>\n

“When he doesn’t do that, he switches to an edge-to-edge attacking mindset that leads to clean-up stops or sacks. He plays strong at the point in the run game, although he is inconsistent in shedding blocks.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the San Francisco 49ers have signed fourth-round draft pick Gracen Halton to his…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":919326,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[43],"tags":[43941,39684,1318,301083,68759,1317,1315,1316,1232,68767,24640,219534,9005,62,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-919325","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-football","tag-49ers","tag-alfred-collins","tag-football","tag-gracen-halton","tag-mykel-williams","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaafootball","tag-nfl","tag-nick-bosa","tag-osa-odighizuwa","tag-romello-height","tag-san-francisco-49ers","tag-sports","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116880574293176625","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/919325","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=919325"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/919325\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/919326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=919325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=919325"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=919325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
