He did not play in any of the final five games of the regular season or in the run to the Super Bowl that followed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">He played in five games in the 2020 season before being waived.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Since his departure, Pettis has had spells with the New York Giants, Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints. He had a brief stint with the Buffalo Bills during training camp this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Despite their injuries at the receiver position, the 49ers will hope to not have to rely on Pettis much. However, with his experience and knowledge of the offense, it is a reunion that makes sense for a team in need of greater depth in its pass-catching ranks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 49ers are set to reunite with Dante Pettis.
