Junior Bergen signs with Jets after being waived by 49ers

Junior Bergen, a former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver, has signed with the New York Jets. Bergen was waived by the 49ers following a couple of weeks of training camp after failing to make a significant impact. The 23-year-old had established a reputation for his return ability at Montana, where he recorded eight punt return touchdowns from 2022 to 2024. His role with the Jets comes as he replaces an undrafted free agent, and it's uncertain if he will secure a spot on the roster.
