Report: 49ers favored to sign Torrey Smith

The San Francisco 49ers have emerged as favorites to sign wide receiver Torrey Smith, according to Aaron Wilson of The Baltimore Sun. 

Smith is slated to become a free agent Tuesday. He has spent his entire four-year career with the Ravens, winning a Super Bowl in 2012. 

If Smith signs with the 49ers, he will be re-aligned with former Ravens teammate Anquan Boldin, who signed with San Francisco after capturing the Super Bowl with Baltimore.  

The 26-year-old caught 49 passes for 767 yards and a career-high 11 touchdowns last season. 

Smith is reportedly being pursued by a number of teams, including the Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans. If he joins the 49ers, he will be tasked with elevating a passing game that regressed badly in 2014.
