The San Francisco 49ers are reportedly looking to strengthen the wide receiver position this offseason. The 49ers have been linked with a few names as free agency looms.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs, who is set to become a free agent in the coming days, has been linked to the 49ers. NFL analyst Josh Taylor reported the links in an X post on Friday, saying he’d be “stunned” if the 49ers, worth $8.6 billion per Forbes, don’t sign Doubs.
“Romeo Doubs to the 49ers is one of the worst kept secrets in free agency right now,” Taylor wrote on X. “I’d be stunned if he doesn’t go there.”

The Packers selected Doubs with the 132nd pick in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL draft. Over the past four seasons with the Packers, he has racked up 2,424 yards and 21 touchdowns on 202 catches.
The 25-year-old wide receiver is one of three players in Packers history to rack up at least 40 catches, 400 yards and three touchdowns in each of his first three seasons.

Steelers reportedly eyeing Packers wide receiver amid 49ers rumors
The 49ers are set to part ways with wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk and are also expected to let Jauan Jennings walk into free agency. Romeo Doubs’ potential addition to San Francisco’s wide receiver room makes sense amid the slated departures.
However, the 49ers aren’t the only team linked with the Packers WR as NFL insider Mark Kaboly reported that Doubs is top of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ shopping list in free agency.
“It’s hard to say right now, but you’d have to put Doubs at the top of that list, in my opinion,” Kaboly said.
Veteran NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers reportedly called to inquire about Doubs’ trade availability in August after joining the Steelers.
