San Francisco 49ers finalized a one-year, $6 million deal with veteran wide receiver Christian Kirk, per ESPN. Kirk, 29, joins a revamped receiver room after a season plagued by hamstring injuries and limited production (28 catches, 239 yards, 1 TD) in Houston. The move adds depth to a position that has seen Jauan Jennings (unrestricted free agent), Brandon Aiyuk (expected to leave), and Skyy Moore (traded to Green Bay) depart. Mike Evans' three-year, $42.5 million contract earlier this week signals San Francisco's aggressive pursuit of proven talent.

Kirk's experience in the X and Z slots could complement Ricky Pearsall and Demarcus Robinson, while his return-game potential fills a void left by Moore. The 49ers retain six first-four-round draft picks, positioning them to address lingering needs at receiver.
