Patrick Smith/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — If you can’t beat ’em, sign ’em. According to reports, the San Francisco 49ers have agreed on a deal with free agent wide receiver Torrey Smith.
Smith spent the first four seasons of his career with the Baltimore Ravens, where he was also a teammate of current 49ers wide receiver Anquan Boldin. Those two helped beat the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game in 2012.
“I will be playing for a different organization, but I will remain committed to the City of Baltimore,” Smith wrote. “I will continue to give back and help build a better future for our young men and women. MY COMMITMENT TO THE CITY IS FOR LIFE. This isn’t a goodbye because I will still be around, and Baltimore will continue to be my home in the offseason and when my career is done. I’m on to the next chapter of my life and football career, but I will see you guys later.”
In 2014, Smith caught 49 passes for 767 yards and 11 touchdowns.
