Niners Target Veteran Ertz for Depth | San Francisco 49ers News
Description
The 49ers are eyeing veteran tight end Zach Ertz, cleared and eager to play after his ACL tear, as insurance for George Kittle’s health — a smart move given their injury woes and the need for depth. At 35, Ertz still delivered over 500 yards and 4 TDs last year, and a one-year deal with incentives could fit perfectly. This adds versatility to Kyle Shanahan’s offense, potentially unlocking more two- or three-tight-end sets while giving Jake Tonges room to thrive. It’s not about replacing him — it’s about building resilience before another injury hits.
