Burford is one of two former 49ers offensive linemen currently on the free-agent market, along with Ben Bartch. Bartch reportedly visited the Detroit Lions earlier this week.
Burford started 11 games during the 2025 season, including both of the 49ers' playoff contests. He logged 577 offensive snaps (including the postseason), with all but one coming at left guard.
According to Pro Football Focus, Burford posted a 56.7 overall offensive grade, a 61.4 run-blocking grade, and a 44.6 pass-blocking grade during the 2025 season. He allowed 31 pressures and two sacks.
San Francisco made Burford a fourth-round draft pick (134th overall) out of UTSA in the 2022 NFL Draft.
