Niners need another receiver

Question: We need a No. 1 receiver I feel or at least another solid receiver to back Lelie and Alex up and hopefully help us get to that next level as an offense. Is there any word out there that the 49ers are going for anyone hard like a Stallworth, Jackson or Bennett, or are they content with Lelie?

Ryan, Long Beach

Answer: Bennett signed with the Rams. The rumors that the 49ers are interested in Stallworth are untrue at this point. Jackson might pique their interest, but only if the Seahawks lower their asking price.
