49ers sign rookie Collins after second-round guarantee deadlock

49ers sign rookie Collins after second-round guarantee deadlock

The 49ers announced Thursday that they had signed second-round pick Alfred Collins to a four-year contract.

Collins’ deal could pay the 23-year-old defensive tackle up to $10.3 million over the four seasons and includes $9 million guaranteed, according to ESPN, which initially reported the agreement Wednesday evening.

With training camp set to open next week, rookies have been at the 49ers’ facility preparing for their veteran colleagues’ arrivals. But Collins, who has not yet practiced with the 49ers due to a calf injury, remained unsigned until this week along with all but two second-round picks in the league.

The top two picks in the round, Browns linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Texans receiver Jayden Higgins, signed fully guaranteed deals in early May, perhaps setting a new precedent in the NFL’s system that includes automatic salary slots for rookies based on their draft position.

Some national analysts have suggested that the signing of Collins, the 11th pick in the round and the 43rd overall selection of the NFL Draft, may break the deadlock.

His overall payout, according to Spotrac.com’s rookie scale sheet for the 2025 draft, is $10,296,326.

Collins had 142 tackles in 64 games over his five years at Texas. He was a second-team Associated Press All-American last season with 55 tackles over 16 games (all starts).

The 49ers had a hole at defensive tackle after releasing former prized free agent signee Javon Hargrave over the offseason.
