Stefon Diggs is available for signing after the NFL concluded its investigation without sanctions. The 49ers, having bolstered their roster with Mike Evans and De'Zhaun Stribling, are being highlighted as a prominent fit for Diggs due to depth issues at wide receiver. San Francisco's receiver corps struggled with injuries last season, missing more games than any playoff team. Diggs' skills align with the 49ers' offensive needs, as he has excelled in systems requiring effective route running and play-action capabilities. His prior season with the Patriots saw him achieve over 1,000 receiving yards, making him an attractive addition for the 49ers.
