Overview

• The veteran wideout said his choice came down to San Francisco and Pittsburgh, adding that Aaron Rodgers "wanted me back over there."
• San Francisco added him to the practice squad rather than the 53-man roster, with injuries and a suspension at receiver opening a potential quick path to elevations.
• He cited carryover between Klay Kubiak’s offense and Klint Kubiak’s systems in New Orleans and Seattle as key to getting on the field quickly.
• Seattle released him at final cuts despite guaranteed money from his March deal, and he said he can provide Seahawks insights before the 49ers’ Week 1 game.
• Multiple reports pegged the Steelers as the runner-up for his services, but Valdes-Scantling framed the 49ers as the better career fit right now.
