- Ex-Notre Dame offensive lineman traded to San Francisco 49ers
Former Notre Dame offensive lineman Jarrett Patterson has been shipped to a new team for his fourth year in the NFL.
National Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Sunday that Patterson, an interior lineman for the Houston Texans the past three seasons, was traded to the San Francisco 49ers for a 2027 NFL draft seventh-round pick. He noted on social media that the Niners were in the market for a new lineman, and this move showed that was the case.
