According to Chris Russell of ESPN980, the Panthers and 49ers are the “leaders” among six NFL teams with interest in free agent WR Josh Morgan.

Morgan, 28, signed a five-year contract worth $12 million and included $7.5 million guaranteed with the Redskins back in 2012, but never lived up to his contract.

Last year, he appeared in 14 games and caught 20 passes for 214 yards receiving and no touchdowns. He did, however, contribute on special teams and totaled 239 kick return yards.

The Panthers and 49ers are both looking for value at receiver, so it would make sense for one of them to make an effort to get Morgan under contract now that the free agent market is limited in terms of available talent.
