The San Francisco 49ers have been reportedly in the process of trading wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, but it looks like the team could have found his replacement. During Wednesday’s practice, free agent wide receiver Robbie Chosen was spotted on the field working out for the team.
Robbie Chosen has been part of the New York Jets, Carolina Panthers, Arizona Cardinals and Miami Dolphins after coming out of Temple. Last season with the Dolphins, he appeared in nine games and finished with just four catches on six receptions for 126 yards (31.5 yards per catch) and a touchdown grab. With players like running back Christian McCaffrey, wide receiver Deebo Samuel and left tackle Trent Williams all getting major paydays while quarterback Brock Purdy is getting prepared for a massive extension, the San Francisco 49ers are in a need to find cheaper players for the rest of the roster.
Can the San Francisco 49ers make the Super Bowl once again?
The San Francisco 49ers have been always the bridesmaid and never the bride with this iteration of the team as they have made the Super Bowl in multiple years but have not hoisted the Lombardi Trophy. Whatever their package is for Brandon Aiyuk, it will be difficult to expect much help for the 2024 season, and instead being draft capital.
They have a lot of talent in both sides of the football and with a top-tier head coach in Kyle Shanahan, they are going to remain as a top team in the NFL. They have a tough path to make it to the Super Bowl once again but they have the experience to play deep into January and are hoping the possible signing of Robbie Chosen and rookie wideout Ricky Pearsall can replace the production that Aiyuk leaves.
It’s difficult to pencil them in with teams like the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles loaded up but they are certainly the favorites to do so.
