The Facts: Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the 49ers will sign Juszczyk when teams are eligible to start signing outside free agents on Thursday.
Diehards Line:
They are also expected to add quarterback Brian Hoyer and wide receivers Pierre Garcon and Marquise Goodwin to a unit that’s likely to bear only faint resemblance to the one they employed last season. There were reports of interest in Juszczyk from a few teams once the “legal tampering” window opened on Tuesday and was looking to join a team where he could play a variety of roles. As PFT suggests, the 49ers should be able to offer him a chance to show off his versatility as they aren’t exactly overstuffed with players who need the ball at present. Juszczyk caught 97 passes over the last three years with the Ravens, so a role in the passing game would seem to be an obvious place to start.
