Chip Kelly's press conference was the major San Francisco 49ers news event on Wednesday, but shortly before it began, an intriguing signing came to light for the team. A Canadian reporter tweeted that CFL wide receiver Eric Rogers was close to signing with the 49ers. Major NFL media picked up the story, and reported a done deal. Rogers posted a picture to Instagram signing the contract, and once the 49ers process it with the NFL and NFLPA, they will announce the move.
Ian Rapoport and Aaron Wilson had a breakdown of the contract details.
