The San Francisco 49ers have continued adding to their roster for 2025, adding four players to their 90-man roster for the offseason.

San Francisco announced it has signed OL Isaac Alarcon, WR Russell Gage, WR Isaiah Hodgins and T Jalen McKenzie to Reserve/Future contracts

Alarcon and Gage were each members of the 49ers' practice squad in 2024, Alarcon as part of the International Player Pathway.

McKenzie was on the practice squads of the Las Vegas Raiders, New England Patriots and New York Giants in 2024.

But the most interesting signing is wideout Hodgins, a San Jose native who now gets to head home.

Hodgins was a sixth-round pick of the Bills in 2020 out of Oregon State and spent the 2024 season on the Giants practice squad.

He made only two catches in three appearances for New York in this campaign but had seven touchdowns across his previous two seasons.

A sizeable target at 6ft 4in and 210 pounds, Hodgins has shown enough in his time in the league to suggest he could be a player with a chance to stick on the 49er practice squad in 2025, and perhaps even claim a place at the bottom of the wide receiver depth chart.

The latter prospect may seem unlikely. However, with 32-year-old Chris Conley set for unrestricted free agency, San Francisco may view the 26-year-old Hodgins as someone who can play a very similar role in contributing mainly on special teams while also using his size to aid the 49ers' run game, as Conley often has during his time with the Niners.

Though Conley came up with some huge plays in the passing game during the postseason in their run to the Super Bowl in 2023, Hodgins has a much stronger recent history of production. Replacing an ageing veteran with a younger talent who has displayed similar reliability would make a lot of sense.

Brock Purdy will soon be receiving a raise regardless of whether he gets his wish over 49ers contract talks

A bump in salary is already secured.
