Chris Conley, a wide receiver, has been re-signed by the San Francisco 49ers for a one-year contract.
The Kansas City Chiefs selected Conley (6-3, 205) in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft (76th overall). He has played in 117 games (63 starts) over his nine-year NFL career with the Chiefs (2015–18), Jacksonville Jaguars (2019–20), Houston Texans (2021–22), Tennessee Titans (2022), and San Francisco 49ers (2023). He has also recorded 220 receptions for 2,922 yards and 15 touchdowns. In addition, Conley has made eight postseason appearances (two of which he started) and has tallied 10 receptions for 96 yards and one touchdown. Conley played in eight 49ers games in 2023 and recorded three receptions for 69 yards. Additionally, he participated in three postseason games and recorded two 35-yard receptions.
Conley, a 31-year-old native of Dallas, Georgia, played four seasons (2011–14) as a wide receiver for the University of Georgia, totaling 177 receptions for 1,938 yards and 20 touchdowns.
Oren Burks will stay in the NFC through 2024, but he will be joining a new team for the second time in his career. As initially reported by Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the veteran linebacker and special team member has signed to a one-year contract with a maximum value of $2.5MM.
The 28-year-old Burks spent his first four seasons as a player with the Packers. During that time, he saw most of his action on special teams, despite making four starts as a rookie and three in his last season with Green Bay. After his rookie contract expired, Burks signed a two-year, $5MM contract with the 49ers.
