The San Francisco 49ers made multiple moves on Wednesday, officially signing punter Thomas Morstead and linebacker Thomas Morstead while releasing longtime punter Mitch Wishnowsky.
Morstead, 39, had been the Jets punter for the past two seasons, leading the league in punts and punt yards back in 2023. He’s now slated to be San Francisco’s punter, as the 49ers released Mitch Wishnowsky, whom they drafted in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft.
Wishnowsky was in the third year of a four-year, $11.2 million extension that he signed back in 2022 and was slated to have a cap hit of $2.
