Did the 49ers sign Mike Evans and Christian Kirk?

Answered 2026-06-15 · from the ChatFFB news wiki

Yes, both signed with the 49ers this offseason! Here's the breakdown:

Mike Evans — Signed a 3-year, $60M deal after over a decade in Tampa Bay (from the Mike Evans page). He's the new WR1 in Kyle Shanahan's offense, bringing elite red-zone and deep-ball ability alongside Brock Purdy's arm. He was banged up in 2025 (career-low 368 yards in 8 games), but had 14 straight 1,000-yard seasons before that.

Christian Kirk — Also joined the 49ers, sliding into a slot/WR3 role behind Evans and Ricky Pearsall. Sal Vetri noted that the 49ers "signed [Christian Kirk] in the slot" as part of their revamped receiver room (). The 49ers team page confirms they added both Evans and Kirk to replace Jauan Jennings and Skyy Moore (from the 49ers page).

Fantasy takeaway: The 49ers' WR room is crowded now — Evans, Kirk, Pearsall, Christian McCaffrey out of the backfield, plus tight ends — which puts a cap on any one receiver's target volume. Evans is the high-upside bet on TD production, while Kirk provides a steady slot floor when healthy.
