The San Francisco 49ers called upon a player that their coaching staff was familiar with to fill up their wide receiver depth chart.
Travis Benjamin previously played for 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan when he was an assistant with the Cleveland Browns.
Two of the 30-year-old's more successful seasons came in Cleveland, but his numbers have dropped off in the last two seasons.
Due to the low numbers with the Los Angeles Chargers, the 49ers structured Benjamin's deal as a “prove-it deal” with some incentives included in the contract," according to The Athletic's Matt Barrows.
