The 49ers will release veteran wide receiver Pierre Garcon, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
This is the least-surprising move of the offseason for the 49ers. Garcon will be 33 next season, he is scheduled to earn $6 million and has missed 16 games since 2017. The 49ers never should have signed him in the first place.
To replace Garcon, the 49ers should sign free-agent wide receiver Tyrell Williams and/or draft Ole Miss wide receiver A.J. Brown.
