The 49ers were among the teams reportedly interested in signing the Pryor (28 years old) as a free agent a year ago. He signed a one-year, $8 million deal with the Washington Redskins on March 10, 2017.
Pryor registered 20 receptions for 240 yards with a touchdown in Washington last year before his season ended early due to an ankle injury he had been dealing with since a Week 2 game against the Los Angeles Rams. He was placed on injured reserve on November 21, 2017, after nine game appearances and two starts.
Pryor (6-4, 228), who played college football at Ohio State, was a third-round draft pick by the Oakland Raiders in 2011. Following his three seasons in Oakland, he bounced around from team-to-team as a quarterback before being claimed off waivers by Cleveland on June 22, 2015.
Pryor was waived by Cleveland on September 10, 2015, and had a workout with the 49ers that October, but San Francisco opted not to sign him. He re-signed with the Browns two months later. The quarterback turned wide receiver had a breakout year with Cleveland in 2016 when he registered 77 receptions for 1,007 yards, four touchdowns, and just four drops that season in 16 games with 15 starts.
