49ers Sign WR Mario Manningham

The 49ers continue to build up their receiving core. The 49ers and WR Mario Manningham agree to a two year deal. Wide Receiver was a position that the Niners needed help in, and adding a solid receiver like Manningham definitely helps. Mario, had a big catch down the stretch to help the Giants beat the 49ers in the NFC Championship game. Now he trades his Giants blue in for 49ers Red and Gold.

Mario Manningham spent his entire 4 year career in New York. During those 4 seasons he caught 160 passes, for 2,315 yards, and recorded 18 Touchdowns. His best season, he caught 60 passes for 944 yards.

The Niners added WR Randy Moss to begin the free agency signing period, and have now added Manningham. This gives them a variety of weapons to go along with tight end Vernon Davis, and running back Frank Gore. Not to mention, the 49ers have arguably the top defense in the NFL.
