49ers Claim CB Tre'Vius Tomlinson from Rams Ahead of Free Agency

News summary

The San Francisco 49ers have bolstered their cornerback depth by claiming Tre'Vius Tomlinson off waivers from the Los Angeles Rams ahead of the 2025 NFL free agency. Tomlinson, a sixth-round pick in 2023 from TCU, has had a limited NFL career, recording 13 tackles over 15 games before missing the 2024 season due to injury. Known for his standout collegiate performance, including winning the Jim Thorpe Award, he is expected to compete for a role in a 49ers secondary that may see significant turnover with several cornerbacks set to hit free agency. With Charvarius Ward and others likely departing, the 49ers are focusing on strengthening their defense, a task made easier by Tomlinson's potential to contribute on special teams. The team anticipates further additions through free agency and the upcoming draft, where they hold 12 picks to address their defensive needs. Tomlinson's ability to adapt to the NFL level will be crucial as he aims to secure a starting position within the team's revamped defensive strategy under returning coordinator Robert Saleh.
