The first former 49ers player to depart the Bay Area and join Mike McDaniel in Miami is wide receiver River Cracraft. The Dolphins on Thursday announced the signing.
Cracraft joined the 49ers in the 2020 offseason and spent most of the next two seasons in San Francisco. He bounced between the practice squad and the active roster during his two years and appeared in 15 games mostly on special teams.
In 2020 while the 49ers dealt with injury issues he saw 112 offensive snaps in six games and caught six balls for 41 yards. In 2021 he didn’t play at all on offense in nine games.
Now he’ll get a shot with the Dolphins in a familiar offense, and he’ll likely take on an on-field coach role for Miami’s first-time head coach.
