The 49ers on Friday announced the signing of linebacker Reuben Foster to a four-year contract. The 49ers will also have a fifth-year option for Foster, whom the club traded up to select with the No. 31 overall selection.
The 49ers now have eight of their 10 draft picks under contract. Defensive lineman Solomon Thomas, the No. 3 overall pick, and quarterback C.J. Beathard, a third-rounder, are the only picks who have yet to sign their mandatory four-year deals.
Foster has been a limited participant in the 49ers’ offseason program as he recovers from offseason surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff in his shoulder.
