Snead’s career has fizzled out since he posted 1,879 yards in his first two seasons with the Saints, but he is still hanging around the league as a reserve option at receiver and a special teams contributor. He spent the past two years in San Francisco, appearing in four games for both seasons. With Odell Beckham on the PUP list, Snead gives the team an extra body at receiver for the start of training camp.

The team worked out Dede Westbrook but did not sign him. Snead was phased out of the Raiders' offense early in the 2021 season before the team agreed to release him. He quickly joined the Panthers' practice squad and found his way on the gameday roster twice. Snead caught 33 balls for 432 yards and three scores with the Ravens in 2020. At this point in the 29-year-old's career, it's hard to see him making the 49ers' final roster.

Snead, 29, recently tried out for the Texans and Cardinals. In 2021 he played two games with Carolina and seven games for Vegas, totaling four catches for 38 yards. Snead would be little more than a depth piece in San Francisco. 

Snead split time with the Raiders and Panthers last season, totaling four receptions for 38 yards on eight targets. The veteran wide receiver had previously spent three seasons with the Ravens, where he totaled 126 receptions for 1,422 yards and nine touchdowns. The soon-to-be 30-year-old receiver had two seasons of 800+ receiving yards in 2015 and 2016 with the Saints but has struggled to find that same level of production as of late. Snead might be able to carve out a role in Houston's underwhelming passing game, but it's unlikely he ever emerges on the fantasy radar.
