Let go by San Francisco The 49ers released Collins on Sunday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Impact Collins was traded from the Texans to the 49ers in March of 2024 and started all 17 regular-season games last year, tallying 33 tackles and 5.0 sacks. The veteran defensive tackle should get some healthy interest in free agency heading into his age-30 season. With Collins out, Jordan Elliott, Kalia Davis and Evan Anderson are slated to be the top defensive tackles for San Francisco.

Starts all 17 games in 2024 Collins finished the 2024 season with 33 tackles (20 solo), including 5.0 sacks, and two fumble recoveries across 17 games.
Impact At 29 years old and in his ninth NFL season, Collins started all 17 games for San Francisco and matched his previous career high with the 5.0 sacks, a number he hit in both 2016 with Dallas as a rookie and 2023 with Houston. Collins proved to be a smart acquisition by 49ers GM John Lynch last March, when he sent a seventh-round pick to the Texans for the veteran defensive tackle. Collins has one year remaining on his contract through 2025.
