The San Francisco 49ers sign punter Jack Bouwmeester to a three-year NFL contract, the team announces. The agreement finalizes the club’s decision to add the rookie punter after an earlier understanding was reached shortly after the 2026 NFL Draft concluded in April. Multiple reports indicate the deal is made official in the lead-up to the season, with Bouwmeester joining San Francisco as a new member of the team’s special teams unit. The contract is described as spanning three years, indicating the 49ers intend to give Bouwmeester an extended opportunity to compete and develop in the punting role. The reports do not provide additional terms beyond the contract length, nor do they detail competition with incumbent punters. With the signing completed, the 49ers move forward with their offseason roster updates, adding Bouwmeester as a rookie punter under the new agreement.
