The San Francisco 49ers announced they have signed wide receiver Robbie Chosen to a one-year deal. To make room on the roster, the team has waived/injured wide receiver Frank Darby, who suffered a hamstring injury in the preseason opener against the Tennessee Titans.

Matt Barrows of The Athletic first reported the signing of Chosen on August 8, following the player's workout with the 49ers.

"Blessed and thankful," Chosen said via a text message to NFL insider Josina Anderson regarding signing with the 49ers. "Dream come true; more to become. This is an opportunity to be apart of greatness and go win a Super Bowl. There's greatness all around me here, from what's been done, what exists and will be the future."

The 49ers Communications staff provided the following rundown.


Chosen (6-3, 185) originally entered the NFL after signing as an undrafted free agent with the New York Jets on May 6, 2016. Throughout his eight-year NFL career with the Jets (2016-19), Carolina Panthers (2020-22), Arizona Cardinals (2022) and Miami Dolphins (2023) he has appeared in 120 games (86 starts) and registered 379 receptions for 5,082 yards (13.4 average) and 30 touchdowns through the air and 16 carries for 98 yards (6.1 average) on the ground. In 2023, Chosen appeared in nine games with the Dolphins and totaled four receptions for 126 yards (31.5 average) and one touchdown.

A 31-year-old native of Plantation, FL, Chosen attended Temple University (2011-15) where he appeared in 24 games and recorded 114 receptions for 1,730 yards and 16 touchdowns and added six carries for 11 yards.

Darby (6-1, 200) originally signed with the team on July 27, 2024.
