Everybody in the league seems to be talking about the San Francisco 49ers and their wide receiver situation.
That won’t change any time soon, as they just added another body to their already stacked wide receivers corps.
According to a report by Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the Niners have signed veteran wideout Robbie Chosen.
The #49ers have made a wide receiver move: Veteran Chosen Anderson is signing with San Francisco, per his agents @davidcanter and @nessmugrabi.

The 31-year-old WR has been known as Robby Anderson, Robbie Anderson, Chosen Anderson, and Robbie Chosen during his career.
He’s had more names than big games in the past couple of years, but he should still be able to make an impact in Kyle Shanahan’s offense.
Thus far, he’s played for the New York Jets, Carolina Panthers, Arizona Cardinals, and Miami Dolphins.
He’s coming off hauling in just four receptions for 126 yards in Miami last season.
Anderson’s best year came in 2020 when he was a member of the Panthers.
He logged a career-best 95 receptions to go along with 1,096 receiving yards.
Anderson still needs to make the 53-man roster, which isn’t going to be easy on such a stacked team.
Then again, with Brandon Aiyuk most likely to be traded at some point in the near future, it made sense for Kyle Shanahan to make a run at the veteran wide receiver.
The Steelers are reportedly leading the race to trade for the disgruntled Aiyuk, and even though the Niners drafted Ricky Pearsall in the second round, it never hurts to have a veteran out there to provide some depth just in case.
