San Francisco's wide receiver room could undergo significant turnover this offseason. Brandon Aiyuk is widely expected to be traded or released after the start of the new league year, while Jauan Jennings, Kendrick Bourne, and Skyy Moore are all slated to become free agents.
The 49ers are expected to explore both free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft to replenish their receiving corps.
