The 49ers have signed Detroit Lions unrestricted free agent tight end to a $12 million offer sheet. He’s not officially on the team yet. We now wait for the April 3 deadline to see if the Detroit Lions to match the offer.
It’s safe to assume that Wright will be trading in the blue and grey for red and gold. NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco pointed out that the 49ers don’t make an offer like this unless they felt the Lions wouldn't match it. In other words, the 49ers aren’t going to start the negotiating game with Detroit over a restricted free agent.
