The 49ers are preparing for the 2026 season by assessing their wide receiver corps, with general manager John Lynch indicating a desire to re-sign free agent Jauan Jennings, who led the team in receptions and touchdowns in 2025. Lynch also highlighted young talents like Ricky Pearsall, Jordan Watkins, and Jacob Cowing, who have struggled with injuries. The team aims to bolster its receiving options after trading Deebo Samuel and facing issues with Brandon Aiyuk. Despite finishing sixth in the NFL for total receiving yards, the 49ers ranked just 21st for wide receiver yards.
