The Niners will see IF he can come back next year. If he has a solid 2027 then I would expect a 2 year contract at the minimum so he can prove himself. He's not heading for big money IF he can recover from all this. He has a LOT to prove and that is why he's rather hurt himself when his rookie deal is done regardless of where he lands IF he can play. Then again if not, here is what he's made . . . as of August 2026 he has made $8,107,583 in total cash earnings over his NFL career so far . . . and he'll get paid this year his salary 1.9 million even being on PUP . . . if he managed that correctly he should be set for life and do it before he's 26 . . . no worries for him.
The drafting of Stribling told you all you needed to know on how the 49ers felt about Pearsall. Expect them to draft another WR in next year's draft . . . and don't expect them to trade away for big players as this team is really in transition and they need to start replacing their geriartic elite members who are over 30. That means keeping their draft picks and going with what they have acquired. They'll be competitive I think, just not dominant this year. We'll see.
Moving forward including this season, they need to find young guys to step up and I fear we'll be in a rebuild in 2 to 3 years IF they miss on picking up core players. That is what I am excited for for this season. To see who from the last couple of drafts steps up and seizes their opportunity or if they have the personal who will do that. I think its time for the fan base to begin looking for the next gen of players as the core is aging. Pearsall could have been one, I think most of us don't think he is because of the injury history. Jury will come in at the end of 2027 for him so nothing to fret about until next season for Pearsall.
