NFL Free Agency: 5 Players the 49ers Should Target in 2017
By Peter Panacy
No. 2: WR Terrelle Pryor
2016 Cap Hit: $1,671,000
It’s time to think out of the box on this one. Way out of the box.
Who knows if Cleveland Browns wideout/quarterback/safety/whatever Terrelle Pryor will be able to keep up his unfathomable stat line this season. All he’s done so far is amass 244 receiving yards on 14 receptions over three games for the lowly Browns.
More than anyone on the current Niners roster.
San Francisco needs offensive playmakers. It needs them badly. Pryor is somehow proving he can be one of those guys. And by looking at the clip below, it’s not too hard to envision how head coach Chip Kelly might be able to use a player like Pryor in his offense:
"• 21 rushing yards • 35 passing yards • 144 receiving yards@TerellePryor‘s highlights from #CLEvsMIAhttps://t.co/dDS3569u4m — Cleveland Browns (@Browns) September 26, 2016"
Right now, Pryor is the fourth-ranked wideout on the year, according to Pro Football Focus. He might have more value in a Kelly offense than elsewhere, if the Browns don’t extend the 6-foot-6, 240-pound target.
Remember, they need playmakers too.
