Schefter reports that he had 13 offers. Last year, he caught 87 passes for 1,448 yards and 10 touchdowns with the Calgary Stampeders.
Rogers will get a two-year deal with $450,000 and $540,000 base salaries, $125,000 signing bonus, $75,000 in bonuses, and a $100,000 base salary guarantee.

The Stampeders let Rogers out of his contract early so he could sign with San Francisco.
