Gonzalez, a five-year NFL veteran, broke into the league as a seventh-round selection by the Cleveland Browns in 2017 before he was released and signed with the Arizona Cardinals midway through the 2018 season. Gonzalez played two more seasons with Arizona before signing with Carolina for the 2021 season.

After missing the entire 2022 season with a groin injury, Gonzalez joins a 49ers team looking to replace their longtime kicker after Gould announced earlier in the offseason that he would be playing elsewhere next season.

Gonzalez has made 91 of his 113 career field-goal attempts (80.5 percent) and 127 of his 134 career point-after attempts (94.8 percent).
