49 Karats Podcast Reaction to 49ers' Acquisition of Mike Evans

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The San Francisco 49ers have had a busy free agency so far. 

New additions to the 49ers Osa Odighizuwa 

On Wednesday, the Niners acquired defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa from the Dallas Cowboys, in exchange for a third round pick, according to ESPN.

Odighizuwa will bolster a thin San Francisco defensive line. 

He recorded 52 pressures last season, more than all five Niners defensive tackles combined in 17 games.

Jake Tongers

San Francisco re-signed backup tight end and Los Gatos native, Jake Tonges to a two-year, $8 million deal. 

Mike Evans 

The Niners have reportedly signed wide receiver Mike Evans to a four-year $60.4 million deal. 

Evans is a 12-year NFL veteran. 

At 6’5″, Evans is physical and will be a threat in the red-zone, an area in which San Francisco has struggled. 

Evans, 32, only played in eight games last season because of a range of injuries. Otherwise, he has remained mostly healthy throughout his career. 

From 2015 to 2024, he recorded 1,000 yards a season – tying 49ers legend Jerry Rice for most consecutive thousand-yard seasons. 

Eddy Pineiro 

Kicker Eddy Pineiro was re-signed to a 4-year deal worth up to $17 million.

Aiyuk has no guaranteed money left on his deal and the Niners want to test the trade market.

Jauan Jennings

Jennings, the Niners top receiver last year, began a free agent on Wednesday. 

Trent Williams 

All-pro left tackle Trent Williams is entering the final year of his three-year contract. 

Williams and the Niners are reportedly in a stalemate over a new agreement.
