DeAndre Hopkins is healthy. Sign him and lets go.

A lot of big name wrs who have no home for next year with camp getting very close: Diggs, Aiyuk, Deebo, Hopkins, Allen, Hill. Pretty surprised not more movement for them. Sure they all come with risks but dudes have produced. Still don't want Diggs or Aiyuk as that has been discussed a lot recently. I'd take a look at Allen, Deebo, and Hopkins. Allen in particular has produced consistently for a long time now.

Now that camp has started, we may go with what we've got, but Brandin Cooks is an older deep threat guy who is a great locker room guy. He's likely to resign with the Bills or a superbowl contender, but a true deep Z with a great attitude for 5M (overpay a bit) may be a viable option, according to AI anyways.

Most of the other vets are not deep threats, or if they go deep are 50/50 guys.
A low name like Cooks would support the squad and even help develop the youg WR'S

BTW outside receiver option Hopkins, is currently trying out coaching at NE, I beleive unofficially.

Called this happening. With Brandon Aiyuk going full retard, I knew this was the next step happening.

@RapSheet
Reunion: Free agent WR Deebo Samuel is signing back with the #49ers, sources say. The former #Commanders and SF pass-catcher returns where it all began.

1-year, up to $7M in a deal done by Tory Dandy of @AthletesFirst
.

Pearsall can't seem to stay healthy is a huge reason he signed with the Niners. If we don't plan on signing anyone else noteworthy (Diggs, Allen, etc.) for wr, I would have probably brought him back. Put up 727 yds receiving last year and is only 30.

Keim seems to think it is Diggs or no one.
Good for Deebo, loved him for what he was, he just isn't that deep threat or full route tree guy.
Wouldn't have been upset if we resigned him.
The truth is, we haven't replaced his pretty good numbers from last year yet.

Regarding Diggs, I wonder what the locker room would think. I saw an interview from channel 9 and Chig, he sessentiaĺly said he chose us so he could get better numbers with a single QB (Jayden) but I also noticed he said like 3 times he really liked that there were NO EGOs on this team. Being he is a pass catcher, he is likely talking about TEs and WRs.
It is pretty well known that Diggs would often demand more passes his way and even though he recently talked about being a #2, not sure demanding the ball will go away after bragging about yardage, particularly vs Chig or all other #2 options. To me, it seems the only reason we haven't signed him is his off field stuff and his potential ego impact on a relatively humble team.

I mean, Im not a huge Diggs the person fan, but I am of his production. Also as a Terry injury insurance plan (Deebo ever fit that requirement, as we witnessed)
The tough question is this. Is Diggs the difference in us making the playoffs or not?
I say yes, due to our early tough schedule and lack of NFL WR production evidence other than Terry.
