49ers Waive Dante Pettis Tuesday
4 years agoThe San Francisco 49ers waived former second-round wide receiver Dante Pettis on Tuesday after failing in their attempt to trade him. Pettis fumbled in his first career kickoff return in the Week 8 loss to the Seahawks, which apparently was the last straw in a disappointing run with San Francisco. His rookie season in 2018 was his best with the Niners, as he caught 27 passes for 467 yards and five touchdowns in 12 games. The coaching staff called him out for his lack of drive and preparation last summer in training camp, and Pettis wound up with just 11 catches for 109 yards and two scores in 11 games. The 25-year-old failed to catch his only target in five games for the Niners in 2020.
