Summary

The 49ers hit on critical roster targets early in free agency this week, acquiring one of the most consistent and productive receivers in the league in Mike Evans. They also beefed up their offensive line depth in free agency, traded for Cowboys defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa, locked-in talented tight end Jake Tonges and secured the long-term services of kicker Eddy Piñeiro. On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss how the Evans addition immediately improves San Francisco's wide-receiver room, as well as where Brandon Aiyuk and Mac Jones will end the offseason. With a few intriguing names still on the market, Matt and Jennifer mull over bringing back former 49ers players Deebo Samuel or Dre Greenlaw, and if uniting the Bosa brothers is in the cards.
