After re-signing one of Kirk Cousins‘ favorite offensive weapons, another could be on his way out. The 49ers have set their sights on signing Pierre Garcon, sources tell Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter). 
Garcon, of course, offers familiarity with Kyle Shanahan‘s system, making him a logical fit in San Francisco. The Niners are also in need of a quality receiver after cutting Torrey Smith loose. As of this writing, the Niners’ only receiver of note is Jeremy Kerley, who was re-signed to a multi-year deal.
This past season, he had 79 catches for 1,041 yards with a 69.1% catch rate. Shanahan knows what Garcon is capable of, having served as the Redskins coordinator during his masterful 2013 season. In that year, he had a league-high 113 receptions for 1,346 yards and five touchdowns. Garcon doesn’t want to be pigeonholed as just a possession receiver and Shanahan allow him to show his full range of skills, even as he nears his 31st birthday.
The Redskins only just reached out to Garcon’s reps this week, so we’ve had the sense that he would be going elsewhere this month.
I was hoping they’d go after Garçon. I really like this guy. Hopefully they get him.
If the 9ers got garcon they would still need a #1 WR in Terrell Pryor or Jeffery
Or both. That wouldn’t be horrible
I was hoping they’d get Pryor and Garçon. If they can do that I’d be happy.
