49ers, Alfred Collins agree to 4-year, $10.3M deal: report

SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 17 – Alfred Collins agreed to a four-year rookie deal with $9 million guaranteed, ending a league-wide delay in second-round draft signings, sources said.

  • The San Francisco 49ers signed defensive tackle Alfred Collins to a four-year, $10.3 million rookie contract on July 17, 2025, in California.
  • Collins' signing followed an offseason impasse where most second-round picks sought fully guaranteed contracts like those received by two prior second-rounders.
  • Collins, a 6-foot-7 former Texas player with 142 tackles in 64 games, did not practice yet due to a calf injury sustained at his pro day but is expected to be ready for training camp starting July 22.
  • His deal includes $9 million guaranteed, covering 88% of the total value, and is expected to prompt other unsigned second-round rookies across the NFL to finalize their contracts.
  • With Collins joining, the 49ers complete their draft class amid a defensive line renovation, positioning him as a key contender for the 3-technique role this season.
