Gracen Halton, DT for the San Francisco 49ers, has signed his four-year rookie contract worth $5.62 million, per Adam Schefter. Halton was the final member of the 49ers' 2026 draft class to sign.
Contract numbers
The deal runs four years at a total value of $5,642,636, with a signing bonus of approximately $1,262,636 and a 2026 cap hit around $1,200,659.
Draft background
Halton came to San Francisco as the No. 107 overall pick, the seventh selection in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. The 49ers acquired that pick from the Cleveland Browns in a trade down from No. 58 overall.
Halton played four seasons at Oklahoma, appearing in 47 games and recording 84 tackles, 17.5 tackles for loss, and 8.5 sacks. In his 2025 senior season he was a team captain, earned Second-Team All-SEC honors, and posted 33 tackles, 7.0 TFLs, 3.5 sacks, and a forced fumble returned for a touchdown.
What does the Gracen Halton signing mean for IDP rosters?
Not much right now. Standard and PPR managers can ignore this. Even in IDP leagues, Halton is a depth piece early in his career. His quickness and pass-rush profile fit San Francisco's defensive scheme, and he has a path to a larger role over time. In deeper IDP formats, he is worth a watch-list spot, nothing more at this stage.
