49ers unlikely to pick up Pierre Garçon’s option for 2019

A week ago, the San Francisco 49ers confirmed they would not pick up Earl Mitchell’s option for 2019. At the time, head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch acknowledged additional decisions to be made regarding receiver Pierre Garçon. The team has not confirmed anything, but they are not expected to pick up Garçon’s contract for 2019, according to beat writer Matt Maiocco.

The 49ers are not expected to pick up the option on Garçon’s contract, which would make him an unrestricted free agent and open to sign with any team on March 13.
