If Kyle Shanahan wants to add the league leader in yards per reception in each of the previous two seasons, who just so happens to be 6\u20193\u201d and one of the fastest wideouts in the game, the team can\u2019t be shy about being willing to spend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">NFL Insider Josina Anderson <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JosinaAnderson\/status\/2030828652460470424?s=20\" rel=\"nofollow\">tweeted<\/a> the 49ers \u201cmight pay\u201d the robust price tag for Pierce.

The need for a veteran to pair with Ricky Pearsall is likely at or near the top of the priority list for San Francisco during the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Other popular names the 49ers have been tied to include Mike Evans and Romeo Doubs.

Green Bay was likely to release Gary, which is why the trade compensation was so low.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Miami Dolphins sent safety Minkah Fitzpatrick to the New York Jets in exchange for a 2026 7th-round pick.

Watson is coming off a season where he allowed a 53.8 completion percentage on 52 targets. He also had six tackles for loss.
