Dallas CowboysSan Francisco 49ers
A pair of former San Francisco 49ers are headed to the NFC East to join the Dallas Cowboys.
ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday reported wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling and linebacker Curtis Robinson are both set to land with the Cowboys.
Valdes-Scantling signed with San Francisco just before the 2025 regular season began after spending most of the offseason with the Seattle Seahawks. He played five games for the 49ers and caught four passes for 40 yards. He was eventually released, and he signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers before hitting the free agent market this offseason.
It's a bit of a surprise that Robinson left San Francisco, although the writing was on the wall when the team re-signed Luke Gifford who effectively fills the role Robinson did. The 49ers also used a fifth-round pick on linebacker Jaden Dugger and re-signed LB Dre Greenlaw this offseason. Even after trading LB Dee Winters there weren't a ton of roster spots available for Robinson, who landed with the 49ers in 2021 and played in 26 games with them across the last five seasons.
