The 49ers face uncertainty at left guard with Ben Bartch and Spencer Burford hitting free agency, leaving Connor Colby as the top option. ESPN's Matt Bowen recommends signing Seumalo, praising his ability to displace defenders in both zone and gap run concepts while maintaining a firm pocket for quarterback Brock Purdy.
The 33-year-old Seumalo, who played collegiately at Oregon State, won a Super Bowl with the Eagles and made the Pro Bowl with the Steelers in 2024. While not a long-term solution, he could provide stability for 1-2 seasons as the 49ers develop their offensive line.
