Overview

  • San Francisco acquired Moore and a 2027 seventh-round pick from Kansas City for a 2027 sixth-rounder after his three-season, 43-catch stint with the Chiefs.
  • In the preseason finale, he caught 3 of 6 targets for 19 yards, dropped his first two passes, returned three punts for 16 yards, and added a 26-yard kickoff return.
  • Kyle Shanahan lauded how much Moore learned after arriving late in the week and practicing for only part of one session.
  • Moore called the move a fresh start and acknowledged some confusion in his debut, with coaches and veterans helping his transition.
  • Injuries to Brandon Aiyuk (ACL recovery) and Jauan Jennings (calf) could open early chances, with Moore’s return skills and gadget potential offering a path to contribute despite external roster-cut chatter.
