The San Francisco 49ers have agreed to trade center Daniel Kilgore to the Miami Dolphins, the team announced Thursday.

Kilgore must pass a physical before the move can be made official.

The two teams will swap late-round draft picks in the deal, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

"On behalf of the entire organization, I want to thank Dan for everything he contributed to this team and the Bay Area community over the last seven seasons,” said 49ers general manager John Lynch. “When Kyle and I arrived last offseason, we knew right away that he was a well-respected leader in the locker room and a true professional. We are pleased to be able to help find Dan a great situation to be able to continue his career, and we wish him and his wife, Megan, the very best."

The 49ers signed Kilgore to a three-year, $11.78-million contract extension through the 2020 season in February. The Dolphins will now take on his $5.375-million cap hit for the 2018 term.
