Farrell is slated to sign a three-year, $20.25 million contract with the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Farrell will bolster San Francisco's depth at tight end behind George Kittle. The Ohio State product made 12 catches on 17 targets for 67 yards last season, his fourth with the Jaguars.

Farrell caught his lone target for four yards Week 18 against the Colts and finished the season with 12 receptions for 67 yards in 17 games.
EDGE Analysis
Farrell once again was minimally involved in the passing game while playing 31 offensive snaps in the season finale. The 27-year-old will become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the offseason, with his four-year run in Jacksonville likely to conclude with him totaling 36 catches for 316 yards and no touchdowns in 66 games.

Farrell played 31 of the Jaguars' 61 snaps on offense and didn't draw a target in Sunday's 32-16 win over the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
After drawing either one or two targets from Weeks 2 through 5, Farrell has seen his already minimal role in the passing game disappear since top tight end Evan Engram returned from a hamstring injury Week 6. Farrell wasn't targeted in either of the past two contests, though he played double-digit snaps on both occasions thanks to his blocking skills.

Farrell secured both targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 37-34 win over Indianapolis.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old once again served as Jacksonville's secondary tight end behind Brenton Strange as starter Evan Engram (hamstring) missed a fourth straight game. Farrell hasn't been fantasy-relevant even with Engram sidelined and has five receptions for 31 yards through five games this season.

Farrell caught both his targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 18-13 loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old had an increased role since starting tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) was a late scratch Sunday, but it was Brenton Strange who operated as Jacksonville's primary tight end with three catches for 65 yards and a 68 percent snap share. Farrell played 28 of 60 offensive snaps and is unlikely to be significantly involved in the passing game even if Engram misses more time.

Farrell played 14 offensive snaps and didn't receive a target during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Evan Engram was the only Jaguars tight end to be involved in the passing game in the season opener. Farrell tallied career highs in catches (13) and receiving yards (155) last season, and he should continue to see occasional snaps as a blocking option.

Farrell wasn't targeted against the Titans in Week 18 and closed the season with 13 catches for 155 yards in 17 games.
EDGE Analysis
Farrell once again primarily served as a blocking tight end for the Jaguars in 2023, though he did set career highs in both receptions and receiving yards. The 26-year-old should fill a similar role in 2024, which is the final year of his contract.

Farrell caught his lone target for nine yards during Monday's 34-31 loss to the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old set career highs with three catches and 55 yards last week in Houston, but he was far less involved in the passing game versus Cincinnati. Farrell remains the top backup to starting tight end Evan Engram but doesn't have much fantasy utility with just 22 receptions for 216 yards through 44 career games.

Farrell (toe) is listed as active for Jacksonville's matchup with Bengals on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Farrell is set to play Monday despite being limited in practice earlier in the week with a toe injury. The 26-year-old could be in line for increased playing time with Brenton Strange (foot) not playing.

Farrell (toe) was limited in practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Farrell likely picked up the injury in Sunday's win over the Texans, although news of him dealing with the injury wasn't previously reported. He'll have an extra day to recover with Jacksonville not playing until Monday, when the Jaguars host the Bengals.
