When Travis Benjamin opted out Tuesday evening, that created a roster spot for the Niners, while the San Francisco 49ers are expected to fill that spot by signing edge rusher Dion Jordan, there could still be room to add a veteran receiver with speed. NBC Sports’ Matt Maiocco said the Niners would “almost certainly be in the market” for another speedy receiver.
The team enters training camp with eight healthy receivers: Brandon Aiyuk, Kendrick Bourne, Jalen Hurd, Trent Taylor, Jauan Jennings, Dante Pettis, Shawn Poindexter, and Chris Thompson.
