The San Francisco 49ers have signed former Indiana quarterback Kurtis Rourke to his rookie contract. Rourke was selected in the seventh round with the 227th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
According to Over The Cap, Rourke’s four-year deal is worth approximately $4.33 million. It includes a signing bonus of $134,236 and carries a 2025 salary-cap hit of $873,559.
All rookie contracts are set at four years under the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), which extends through the 2030 season. Only first-round picks come with a team option for a fifth year, which doesn’t apply to Rourke.
Rourke won’t participate in the 49ers’ rookie camp after having postseason knee surgery. He has been cleared to throw and should be a full-go for NFL training camp, his agent Casey Muir revealed, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero.
During Rourke’s lone season at Indiana, he threw for 3,042 yards, 29 touchdowns and five picks, while also adding two rushing touchdowns. Once the 24-year-old fully returns from his ACL injury, he’s expected to compete for a depth role in the 49ers’ quarterback room.
49ers’ 4th round pick C.J. West remains unsigned.
