According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Media, the New York Giants are signing former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Richie James to a one-year deal. He was an unrestricted free agent.
The #Giants agreed to terms with former #49ers WR/returner Richie James Jr. on a one-year deal, source says. Former seventh-round pick missed last season with a knee injury after grabbing a career-high 23 catches in 2020.
San Francisco made James (5-9, 185) a seventh-round selection out of Middle Tennessee in 2018. He did not play last season, landing on injured reserve on September 1, 2021, after being waived/injured on August 28, 2021, due to a knee injury and going unclaimed.
James, 26, has caught 38 passes for 689 yards with three touchdowns through his three NFL seasons played.
James is the second 49ers wide receiver lost in free agency this offseason. Trent Sherfield recently signed a one-year deal with the Miami Dolphins.
