Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports that the San Francisco 49ers are discussing a potential reunion with wide receiver Trent Taylor. The team drafted Taylor out of Louisiana Tech in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, marking head coach Kyle Shanahan's first year with the 49ers.

The #49ers are talking with free-agent slot receiver/return man Trent Taylor about a possible return to the team, according to a source. He was a 2017 draft pick of the team before moving on to play for the Bengals and Bears.— Matt Maiocco (@MaioccoNBCS) April 16, 2024

Taylor (5-8, 178) signed with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2021 after his four-year rookie contract with the 49ers had expired. He joined the Chicago Bears last season but saw limited action, being targeted only twice over 123 offensive snaps, per Pro Football Reference. Additionally, Taylor played 71 snaps on special teams.

Taylor, 29, has accumulated 87 receptions for 834 yards and three touchdowns in 78 game appearances (three starts) throughout his NFL career. Notably, all three of his touchdowns occurred during his initial two seasons with the 49ers, and he missed the 2019 season due to a foot injury.
