The San Francisco 49ers released veteran linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, a core special teams player who had seen action in 73 games since 2020. Flannigan-Fowles contributed 17 tackles in 12 games last season. The team retained seven players on one-year exclusive rights tenders, including Evan Anderson and Sam Okuayinonu, both of whom showed promise as undrafted free agents. The roster moves reflect the 49ers’ evolving strategy as they prepare for the offseason and focus on strengthening their lineup ahead of the next season.
In 2025, Flannigan-Fowles played in 12 games and had 17 tackles including one tackle for loss.
Anderson was a pleasant surprise as an undrafted free agent out of Florida Atlantic, playing in 12 games with one start and 24 tackles.
