Apparently Richie James is ahead of schedule and could be cleared before week 1.

Dude has missed almost all of TC, he's nothing special, I'd move on and give Austin his spot.

Reading about the new roster rules, it looks like the 2 players elevated each week can't come up more than 2 times in 1 season, if they want them up for a 3rd time, they have to sign a regular contract with the team, like under the previous CBA, kinda sucks, means someone like Tavon likely wouldn't take a PS role.

I don't want James jr to be cleared before week 1 bc he is the worst punt returner I've seen. A waste of a roster spot compared to Austin or Jennings imo

Yeah, Austin needs that KR/PR role

I think Pettis should be the returner.

but but but James is a 73 OVR in Madden 21, and I put him on the PS, and he got signed week 1 off my PS, so he must be good right? Lol.

I want Pettis to win the job badly, I wanted Reed to be our KR before he got hurt, and well got claimed by the Seacocks, but I digress.

I'd bring him in definitely, a great veteran who always played hard and smart, assuming he didn't do something to get released lol keep 6 WRs on the roster...Deebo, Aiyuk, Bourne, Sanu, Taylor, Pettis. Jennings and either Austin or White to the PS.

I wouldn't hate it...he would be Hurd light. He can lineup in the backfield and has some great hands.

Yup and he's from Jersey 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻Lol

Ten months ago, the #49ers preferred to add Sanu over Emmanuel Sanders because Sanu had another year on his contract. When the Patriots paid a second-round pick to get him, S.F. shifted focus to Sanders.

MM with the head's up to fans in his cryptic way.

Yeah it makes a ton of sense, if his foot is fine and he wants to play for basically free, welcome aboard lol

Sanu is slow and lumbering - I don't want him. Rather stick with Jennings going foward.

He was a beast from the slot in Kyle's system and we all know how much Kyle loves Kyle's guys and the links to familiarity with the coaches here.

lol what do you think Jennings is? I've comped Jennings to Sanu for a while now. Truth is Sanu is a vet with great hands that loves to block. Kid can lineup in the backfield or even out of shotgun.

I mean if he's cool with playing for peanuts and is healthy there's no reason why they shouldn't scope him out.

Yeah, but he's not the same player he was in ATL. He seems to be wore down now.

based off what? he got traded halfway thru a season last yr and had to learn a completely different offense ( he also dealt with a foot injury)…Sanders already knew this scheme when he came in.

Sanu's last full season in ATL (2018) he had over 800 yards 4 TDs with 12.7 Y/R, those are some great numbers as a #3 WR that plays out of the slot.

Hasn't he been nursing an injury this last year? So he's not 100% - rather stick with a healthy Jennings.
