Report: 49ers, Jordan Reed agree to 1-year deal
The San Francisco 49ers and tight end Jordan Reed agreed to an incentive-based, one-year contract, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Reed suffered the latest in a long line of concussions last year and failed to appear in a game for the Washington Football Team. After the veteran was released this offseason, there was speculation he could retire.
Jordan Reed’s career seasons:
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) August 3, 2020
2013: 9 Games Played (IR)
2014: 11 GP
2015: 14 GP
2016: 12 GP (Pro Bowl)
2017: 6 GP (IR)
2018: 13 GP (IR)
2019: 0 GP (IR)
A dynamic talent, but health is a major question mark.
The 30-year-old's extensive concussion history includes seven documented head injuries in the NFL and two more in college.
He'll reunite with 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, who was Washington's offensive coordinator from 2010 to 2013.
Star George Kittle is atop the 49ers' tight end depth chart, but the team needs more experience behind the Pro Bowler.
In seven seasons in Washington, Reed racked up 329 catches for 3,371 yards and 24 touchdowns.
