Wes Welker their wide receivers coach. Welker spent the past two seasons as an offensive assistant with the Houston Texans and interviewed with the 49ers a week ago Monday.Beat writer John McClain had the first report that Welker was leaving for the 49ers San Francisco 49ers Hats , and Matt Barrows followed up to confirm it would be as wide receivers coach. The team has yet to announce the hiring.Welker was a plenty talented receiver, and it will be fascinating to see what he can do with the 49ers receiving corps. As Kevin Jones noted, the team has a host of shifty receivers that could benefit from someone like Welker. It remains to be seen how he will operate as a coach, but if he is a good coach, that bodes well for Dante Pettis, Trent Taylor San Francisco 49ers Hoodie , Marquise Goodwin, and others.When the 49ers announce the Welker hiring, it is a safe bet they will also announce a new job title for Mike LaFleur. He has served as the 49ers wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator. The team is expected to hire Shane Day as quarterbacks coach, so I am not quite sure what the plan is for LaFleur. Maybe an assistant head coach/offense type of title makes sense. There’s been quite a bit of chatter on the fate of San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Gar莽on, and we have another indication that he won’t be in the red and gold for 2019. Mike Garafolo was on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football and reported the 49ers will not pick up Gar莽on’s 2019 option. The move comes with$7.2 million in dead money per Over The Cap. The move will also clear an estimated $500,000 in salary cap space when factoring in the 51-highest salaries. Gar莽on was one of the many free agent signings for the 49ers when Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch were brought onboard in 2017. His 500 yards in eight games for the 2017 season put him on pace to to have a 1 Youth Customized San Francisco 49ers Jerseys ,000 yards until a neck injury put him out of commission. There were once again optimism for him in 2018 with the rise of Jimmy Garoppolo, but Garoppolo’s knee injury early in the season and Gar莽on himself having difficulties staying healthy made those hopes vanish. Gar莽on played the same amount of games in 2018, but managed just over half the yards of his previous year with 286. The younger wide receivers like Kendrick Bourne and Dante Pettis gained opportunities in Gar莽on’s absence and now factor into the upcoming season. The 49ers had tried to trade Gar莽on during the season before the trade deadline, but were unable to get a partner, despite league interest. The NFL wide receiver class is quite weak this year. The 49ers were looking at Antonio Brown and he’s under contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Per Garoffolo, Gar莽on wants to keep playing www.49ersauthorizedshops.com , so with the lack of talent this year, he may find a team rather quickly. Brown and any trades aside, the floor is to the youngsters.
