When John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan joined the 49ers in 2017, their first major move was signing wide receiver Pierre Garcon.
Now they must replace him.
According to published reports, the 49ers have declined the option in Garcon’s contract, making him a free agent just two seasons after signing him to a five-year, $47.5 million deal.
The 49ers hoped Garcon would be their No. 1 receiver. But, in two seasons with the team, he missed 16 games, caught only 64 passes and scored just one touchdown. The 49ers paid him $355,468 per catch.
They still need a No.
