The San Francisco 49ers figure to be busy during the early goings of free agency—whether it’s retaining their own, bringing back familiar faces, or taking a big swing on a pricey player.
Colts free agent wide receiver Alec Pierce has every trait the Niners desire for a wide receiver. If Kyle Shanahan wants to add the league leader in yards per reception in each of the previous two seasons, who just so happens to be 6’3″ and one of the fastest wideouts in the game, the team can’t be shy about being willing to spend.
NFL Insider Josina Anderson tweeted the 49ers “might pay” the robust price tag for Pierce. She mentioned how the Patriots would be out on Pierce if that price tag ended up being $30 million annually.
The 49ers’ pending free agents include a couple of key contributors, Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne. The need for a veteran to pair with Ricky Pearsall is likely at or near the top of the priority list for San Francisco during the next couple of weeks.
Other popular names the 49ers have been tied to include Mike Evans and Romeo Doubs. We will update with all the rumors, signings, and reports involving the team throughout the day.
