The 49ers have a wide receiver room to still address. Even though OTAs have started. One insider dropped a five-time Pro Bowler idea.
The San Francisco 49ers enter 2025 with a rather questionable wide receiver unit. Deebo Samuel left via trade, Brandon Aiyuk has trade chatter heading into training camp, and Ricky Pearsall is dealing with a hamstring ailment.
But a five-time Pro Bowler could entice the 49ers, per one Bay Area media personality's words Thursday.
Bonta Hill of 95.7 FM The Game boldly predicted Pearsall will land help. Hill believes general manager John Lynch and Niners will “explore” the situation involving Amari Cooper. Hill cites previous words from a former coach of Pearsall as one reason behind S.F. looking into Cooper.
“Herm Edwards told us once on Morning Roast 95.7 FM that coaches have to rein in Ricky Pearsall at times because he goes all-out with every rep, whether it’s practice, off-season work, etc. That said, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Niners explored Amari Cooper’s situation at some point over the summer,” Hill posted on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Will 49ers have room for Amari Cooper?
