The 49ers signed Mike Evans, ending Jauan Jennings' tenure, to bolster a thin receiving corps.

The San Francisco 49ers signed veteran wide receiver Mike Evans to a three-year, $60.4 million deal shortly after free agency began, signaling the likely departure of Jauan Jennings, who is expected to enter free agency with a projected market value of $22.6 million per year. Jennings, a key contributor since 2020, played on a one-year deal and had a strong 2025 season with 55 catches, 643 yards, and nine touchdowns. The move comes as the 49ers aim to strengthen a thin receiving corps, with Romeo Doubs of the Green Bay Packers emerging as another potential target. The team is also expected to address the position through free agency despite losing Jennings, who was reportedly open to a trade.
