The San Francisco 49ers’ wide receiver room has been a major storyline heading into the 2025 season. The team traded away Deebo Samuel, while star wideout Brandon Aiyuk<\/a> continues to rehab from ACL and MCL injuries sustained in October 2024. Rookie receiver Ricky Pearsall<\/a> is on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list\u2014although he could return as early as Sunday<\/a>.<\/p>\n To make matters worse, second-year wideout Jacob Cowing suffered a hamstring injury<\/a> during Wednesday’s opening training camp practice. Jauan Jennings<\/a> is practicing but is dissatisfied with his contract situation.<\/p>\n In response to the growing depth concerns, the 49ers signed two veteran receivers this week<\/a>\u2014Equanimeous St. Brown<\/a> and Quintez Cephus. However, there’s another free-agent receiver showing interest in joining head coach Kyle Shanahan’s roster\u2014Gabe Davis.<\/p>\n Appearing on the Up & Adams show with Kay Adams, Davis expressed enthusiasm about potentially signing with San Francisco.<\/p>\n “I went on a visit there. It was awesome,” Davis said. “I have a lot of teammates from UCF and previous players [I played with] like [QB] Mac Jones<\/a> and [WR] Isaiah Hodgins<\/a> that were there. So, definitely a team I’m interested in, for sure. San Fran is a nice spot. It’s a great team with great players.”<\/p>\n Davis visited the 49ers in May, sparking speculation that a signing might be imminent. However, nothing materialized from that visit.<\/p>\n “I talked to [RB] Christian [McCaffrey]<\/a>, talked to [TE] George [Kittle]<\/a>,” Davis continued. “I talked to a lot of the people out there, and it’s awesome. San Fran is definitely a spot that I’m looking at. Shanahan’s the man. He knows how to call an offense. They just got a lot of great weapons around there.”<\/p>\n Adams even suggested that Davis would be an ideal deep-ball threat for San Francisco’s offense, clearly in favor of the potential match.<\/p>\n “I give props to those guys,” Davis added. “Those guys have been making some plays. Jennings was making hella plays when he had to. It was awesome to watch. Aiyuk is a stud and a true No. 1 player. I got a lot of respect for his game.<\/p>\n “So, definitely a team that interests me because I like to be around great players like that. It’s definitely a great opportunity.”<\/p>\n If the 49ers were seriously interested, it’s possible a deal would already be in place unless Davis’ salary demands are higher than the team is willing to pay. For now, rookies such as Jordan Watkins<\/a>, Junior Bergen<\/a>, and Isaiah Neyor will continue seeing more practice reps as they try to earn spots on the 53-man roster.<\/p>\n
