49ers Sign Robinson Amidst Roster Overhaul

DeMarcus Robinson, a veteran wide receiver formerly with the Los Angeles Rams, has signed a two-year, $9.5 million contract with the San Francisco 49ers, with $6 million guaranteed. This move keeps him in the NFC West after previous stints with the Kansas City Chiefs, Las Vegas Raiders, and Baltimore Ravens, where he accumulated a career-high seven touchdowns in 2024. Robinson is expected to play a significant role in the 49ers' offense, especially as Deebo Samuel is traded to Washington and Brandon Aiyuk recovers from an ACL injury. However, Robinson faces potential disciplinary actions from the NFL due to a misdemeanor DUI charge from a November 2024 incident. The 49ers, under GM John Lynch, are undergoing a roster overhaul, having recently released defensive end Leonard Floyd and re-signing linebacker Curtis Robinson for one year. The team is focused on getting younger and cheaper following a challenging 6-11 season in 2024.
