Kearse replied via Twitter by saying the 49ers would be "fortunate" to land him in free agency and described himself as a player who is "always underestimated" but "always delivers."

Barrows noted that he does not know how serious San Francisco is about acquiring the 29-year-old receiver, but his reply is intriguing.
Kearse spent his first five NFL seasons with the Seattle Seahawks before being packaged with a second-round draft pick to the Jets on September 1, 2017, in exchange for defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson.
