After all, putting a lot of faith in Jauan Jennings and second-year pro Ricky Pearsall is a risky proposition.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\">One we even acknowledged.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\">Suggestions, primarily from Moe Moton of Bleacher Report, pinned veteran free agents like Keenan Allen and Amari Cooper to San Francisco, both of whom could deliver proven talent at a cost-effective rate.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\">Possibly. But, one well-respected NFL insider doesn&#8217;t think the 49ers will end up following that course.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-5\">Albert Breer suggests 49ers are &#8216;well-prepared&#8217; with their WR room<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\">In an MMQB mailbag, <em>Sports Illustrated&#8217;s<\/em> Albert Breer was asked whether or not the Niners would go out and sign a free-agent wide receiver.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\">Not asked specifically about Allen or Cooper, Breer nevertheless felt San Francisco was set with its on-roster options and wouldn&#8217;t fish the market for upgrades and reinforcements:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;They\u2019re well-prepared for the possibility that Brandon Aiyuk isn\u2019t full-go when the season starts. Ricky Pearsall will certainly get a shot to have a bigger role in the offense, Jauan Jennings is a reliable complementary piece, and from there they have a promising young guy in Jacob Cowing, plus DeMarcus Robinson coming over from the Rams and some depth behind George Kittle for their two tight-end looks.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\">In short, Breer felt the 49ers are comfortable enough with their options, which is an argument that makes more sense in light of All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey returning from an injury-plagued 2024 campaign.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\">True, banking on Jennings to replicate last year&#8217;s career-best efforts while expecting Pearsall to take a year-two leap might be a lot.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\">But, correctly or not, Breer hints that&#8217;s the outlook the Niners have right now.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"inline-text-12\">Read more from Niner Noise<\/h3>\n<figure><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recent suggestions have linked the 49ers to free-agent wide receivers, but one well-known insider doesn&#8217;t think the Niners will pull the trigger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":58276,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58275","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
