The 49ers Just Signed Dante Pettis

The 49ers just signed Dante Pettis to play football in 2026. This is the guy they drafted in the second round back in 2018 who was the bitter disappointment and then he left thinking he was used incorrectly just to bounce around the league for a decade and carve out a little career for himself. He's almost 31 years old and last year he caught 9 passes for the Saints and now he's on the 49ers because all of their wide receivers except for a couple are injured and he knows the system and knows Kyle and they like each other so much. Look they have him, they have Brandon Cooks, Brandon Cooks used to be really good, Dante Pettis never was particularly good but at least he has experience. As long as the Niners are bringing back players, as long as they're having reunions, why not Jawan Jennings? He's actually good. The Vikings aren't using him, he has one catch all season, maybe the Niners could trade him a 7th round pick for Jawan Jennings. He would actually fill the Niners. They need someone who can catch the ball over the middle and not get hurt. It's not Debo, it's not Mike Evans, it's not Dante Pettis. You know who it might be? As long as this is what they're going to do and just bring in Dante Pettis and Brandon Cooks, I'd love to see the Niners actually give Jordan Watkins more playing time. I mean, I don't think they need to give Dante Pettis or Brandon Cooks playing time over Jordan Watkins. He finally got an opportunity in a real game and he killed it. He had two catches, both of them were excellent. He looks like he's in great shape and he looks really fast. He looks like everything they hoped Ricky Pearsall would be so that of course means he's going to be inactive this week and that Dante Pettis is going to get 7 targets. I don't know. I say bring back Jawan Jennings or just play the kid, Jordan Watkins. What more do you want, Kyle? You lost belief in him, he came into your office, he said, give me a chance, you gave him a chance and he killed it. Give him another one.
