The San Francisco 49ers had a disappointing performance last season. Many football analysts are saying that part of their meltdown last season is their lackluster offense. And it seems that they will fix that problem in the coming season as they are looking to sign free agent wide receiver Terrelle Pryor.
The San Francisco 49ers finished in the last place in the NFC division last season with a 2-14 win-loss record. As said earlier, they have one of the worst offense in the league as they only averaging 19.3 points (27th) and total yards of 308.1 (31st). And having Terrelle Pryor will definitely be a big boost on the 49ers' offense.
Terrelle Pryor was once regarded top football prospect of 2008 and luckily was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the third of the 2011 NFL Supplemental Draft. He was originally playing as a quarterback but later transitioned to full-time wide receiver last season after not clicking as a QB. Now, recent reports are saying that he is one of the potential targets for several teams and one of those is the San Francisco 49ers.
According to ESPN, the Cleveland Browns decline to use the franchise tag on Terrelle Pryor and there is a big chance that he will test the free agency market to know his value. And it appears that teams like the Tennessee Titans, Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers have already expressed their interest in him.
Terrelle Pryor had 77 excellent receptions for 1,007 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns as a full-time wide receiver for the Cleveland Browns last season. Latest news is now saying that these stats seems to be enough to get the attention of the San Francisco 49ers.
According to Forbes, the San Francisco 49ers do lack personnel in the wide receiver spot and Terrelle Pryor could fill that hole. The 49ers could also develop his full potential as a wide receiver given the impressive stats he gathered only in his first year on that spot.
The San Francisco 49ers could well absorb Terrelle Pryor's salary as they have about $93 million available cap space after they release Torrey Smith and Colin Kaepernick opts out of his contract with the team. Pryor is expected to receive around $10-$12 million as league sources are saying.
Will the San Francisco 49ers be able to sign Terrelle Pryor to contract?
