49ers Sign Robbie Chosen

3 months ago

The San Francisco 49ers signed veteran free-agent wide receiver Robbie Chosen to an undisclosed deal on Thursday, according to his agents. The receiver formerly known as Robbie/Robby Anderson had multiple offers from teams but chose a team with an immediate need at the position. The Niners are on the verge of trading away star wideout Brandon Aiyuk because of his unhappiness that the team hasn't given him a long-term contract extension. In addition to Aiyuk's expected departure, rookie first-rounder Ricky Pearsall aggravated a shoulder injury this week in training camp practice, so the team is in need of depth at the position. Even if Aiyuk is traded, as expected, Chosen will likely be battling for a roster spot behind Deebo Samuel Sr., Jauan Jennings, Pearsall, rookie Jacob Cowing and Ronnie Bell.
