Wide receiver Dante Pettis played his last snaps for the San Francisco 49ers in the 2020 season, but after spending the last few months on the market, he’s found his new home.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Pettis is signing with the Buffalo Bills early in training camp.
San Francisco originally took Pettis in the second round (No. 44 overall) of the 2018 NFL draft, after he spent four years at Washington and earned both All-Pac-12 and All-American honors in his final season. He also set an NCAA record with nine punt-return touchdowns.
In 28 games with the 49ers, he caught 38 passes for 576 yards and seven touchdowns. Since then, he’s had stints with the New York Giants, Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints.
Now, he’ll have an opportunity to try to keep his career alive, earn a roster spot and catch passes from Josh Allen in 2026.
