While they won’t be making big splashes in NFL free agency, the San Francisco 49ers are still active in acquiring some depth pieces and complementary players for their offseason roster.

San Francisco needs bodies at wide receiver, particularly after losing veteran wideout Emmanuel Sanders to the New Orleans Saints. While the team is hoping for healthy returns from fellow receivers Trent Taylor and Jalen Hurd from injured reserve last season, and a potential bounce-back year from third-year pro Dante Pettis, there are a lot of doubts about the overall health and depth among head coach Kyle Shanahan’s pass catchers.
