Stefon Diggs remains available on the free-agent market, and at least one prominent analyst believes the San Francisco 49ers represent a strong landing spot for the veteran wide receiver.

CBS Sports’ Jordan Dajani listed the 49ers among the top potential destinations for Diggs, who posted 85 catches for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns last season before going unsigned.

The 32-year-old has also cleared a significant off-field hurdle, as he will not face an NFL suspension following an assault allegation.

While San Francisco has already bolstered its receiving corps in free agency by adding Mike Evans and Christian Kirk, and drafted De’Zhaun Stribling, Dajani argues the team would be wise to continue adding depth at the position.

The 49ers’ receiver room has been plagued by injuries, a vulnerability the organization knows all too well.

Last season, San Francisco led all playoff teams in games missed due to injury at the wide receiver position. First-round pick Ricky Pearsall appeared in just nine games, and the departure of Jauan Jennings leaves the depth chart even thinner.

Mike Evans, now approaching his 33rd birthday, has a history of hamstring issues that could resurface. In this context, adding a reliable veteran makes strategic sense for head coach Kyle Shanahan and quarterback Brock Purdy’s passing attack.

The 49ers’ experience with an injury-riddled receiver group underscores the need for greater stability. Even with Evans, Kirk, Pearsall, and Stribling on the roster, the depth behind the top options remains unsettled.

Diggs may no longer be the explosive playmaker he was during his prime with the Minnesota Vikings, but he continues to excel as a savvy route runner who has produced consistently across multiple offensive systems.

His veteran presence and football intelligence align closely with the type of player Shanahan has historically valued in his scheme.

Whether the 49ers will pursue Diggs remains to be seen. The front office has been relatively quiet following the Evans signing, and the roster has other areas of need.

However, if the financial terms are favorable and Diggs is open to a role-player contribution, the fit could prove mutually beneficial for both player and team.

This potential addition would represent a calculated move to fortify an already talented but historically fragile receiving corps, giving Brock Purdy another dependable target in what could be a pivotal season for the 49ers.
