49ers would be fortunate!!! Always underestimated but he always delivers. — Jermaine Kearse (@JKearse_15) March 13, 2019

Fortunate as in it is unlikely to happen or fortunate as in it could happen? Only Kearse and his agent (and maybe the 49ers) know the answer to that. The rest of us may find out on Wednesday when NFL teams can officially begin signing impending free agents at 1 p.m. PT.



Barrows noted that he does not know how serious San Francisco is about acquiring the 29-year-old receiver, but his reply is intriguing.



Kearse spent his first five NFL seasons with the Seattle Seahawks before being packaged with a second-round draft pick to the Jets on September 1, 2017, in exchange for defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson.

Dante Pettis took 'a number of steps forward' as a receiver, says Kyle Shanahan

By David Bonilla Sep 9, 2020

Third-year wide receiver Dante Pettis acknowledged that last season didn't go as he had hoped. He has accepted much of the blame for his performance. Right now, the San Francisco 49ers wideout is focused on this season, and last month shared his goals for 2020. And they don't include passing yards, touchdowns, or any other statistical feat. "To play free, without anything holding me back," Pettis said. "... Going in every day, and getting to a point to where, coming into practice or the weight room or whatever, getting to a point to where I know that I got better ... You need to get to the breaking point each day and get past that. That's kind of how I would

An ACL injury has prevented McKinnon from taking a regular-season snap with the 49ers, but that may change on Sunday. Mostert joined 95.7 The Game on Wednesday and discussed what McKinnon brings to Shanahan's offense. "He adds a lot. He's very versatile coming out of
