Did the San Francisco 49ers lure in a former Kansas City Chiefs starter? Or is John Lynch and company still working on a deal? One insider dove into the mysterious signing Thursday.<\/p>\n

D.J. Humphries surfaced as the new 49ers signing back on April 30. Humphries’ agency AMDG Sports posted he’s agreed to terms with the Niners.<\/p>\n

Longtime 49ers insider and columnist Matt Maiocco, however, delivered a new update via NBC Sports Bay Area.<\/p>\n

\u201cVeteran offensive tackle D.J. Humphries has not agreed to terms with the 49ers as previously reported, multiple sources told NBC Sports Bay Area on Thursday,\u201d Maiocco said.<\/p>\n

Maiocco confirmed that Humphries did receive a contract from the 49ers.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut that contract was not finalized, and nothing appears imminent,\u201d Maiocco added.<\/p>\n

Is Chiefs player still a free agent due to 49ers update?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The veteran tackle is indeed still on the market. Humphries can still seek out other potential suitors across the league.<\/p>\n

Humphries brings Super Bowl experience to whichever his next team will be. He helped protect Patrick Mahomes while in Kansas City. Humphries surfaced as a late tackle option for Week 14 against the Los Angeles Chargers.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old tackle, however, played two games only due to injuries. Mahomes and the Chiefs watched the pass protection destruct against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.<\/p>\n

Humphries is having difficulty staying healthy too. He sustained a back injury late in the 2022 season while with the Arizona Cardinals. Humphries then tore his ACL on Dec. 31 of the 2023 campaign.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-5, 307-pound tackle enjoyed his most success in the desert. He earned his only Pro Bowl appearance as a Cardinal in 2021. Arizona was where he earned his first league chance too. The Cards took him 24th overall in the 2015 NFL Draft out of Florida.<\/p>\n

Humphries could’ve became a swing tackle option for S.F. But now he remains unsigned.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
