The San Francisco 49ers are entering the 2026 NFL offseason with a few big needs at pass rusher, offensive line, and especially at wide receiver.
Brandon Aiyuk is about to be cut, Jauan Jennings is a free agent, and there are some concerns about Ricky Pearsall after a few injuries in recent years. Adding a WR in free agency is a must.
ESPN's Dan Graziano agrees, as he predicts the 49ers will go out and sign free agent former Green Bay Packers WR, Romeo Doubs, who is coming off a 724-yard receiving season, to a three-year, $49 million contract.
49ers predicted to sign Romeo Doubs to $49M contract
"Romeo Doubs, WR. Contract projection: Three years, $49 million with $30 million guaranteed," Graziano writes. "Predicted landing spot: San Francisco 49ers."
The 49ers bringing in Doubs to join Pearsall in the offense would be an interesting signing. While he's not a Mike Evans or Alec Pierce tier of free agent wide receiver, Doubs is still a solid option to give Brock Purdy.
This past season, he caught 55 passes for 724 yards and six touchdowns for the Packers. While he's not a true number one option, he's a very consistent receiver who'd be a nice option for the 49ers offense.

While they might still need to pursue a playmaker, Doubs would be a quality receiver who gives Purdy and Kyle Shanahan someone to rely on in a similar role to what Jennings had in 2025.
He's 25 years old, and in his four-years with the Packers, he has 2,424 receiving yards, 21 touchdowns, and 202 receptions on 320 targets.
This $49 million projection for Doubs would be a very expensive deal, but with the lack of top-tier receivers available this offseason, he will surely land a solid deal this offseason.
