Does 49ers WR signing impact Brandon Aiyuk contract talks?

The veteran pass catcher played eight games with the Miami Dolphins last season.

On Thursday, the San Francisco 49ers made an addition to their receiving core. The 49ers signed veteran pass catcher Robbie Chosen, formerly known as Robbie Anderson.

Chosen has played eight seasons in the NFL, most recently with Mike McDaniel and the Miami Dolphins. Chosen played nine games with the Dolphins last season, Chosen notched four receptions for 126 yards and a touchdown. Prior to Chosen joining the Dolphins, the Temple product played with the New York Jets, Carolina Panthers and Arizona Cardinals.

Via @TomPelissero on Twitter:

Although there is currently constant chatter and speculation surrounding Brandon Aiyuk’s contract talks with the 49ers or a potential trade, the addition of another speedy wide receiver shouldn’t play a role in Aiyuk’s situation in Santa Clara.

While Chosen adds a serious speed threat to whatever field he steps on, it would be a surprise if he’s leaned on as a potential contingency plan if Aiyuk exits the Bay Area in a trade.

With proven veterans like Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings filling San Francisco’s receiving core and young players like Ricky Pearsall dealing with an injury and Jacob Cowing coming off an injury, Chosen will likely have a chance to fill reps and make a case for a roster spot in practice and the preseason.

However once Pearsall and Cowing return to form, they will likely eat up reps in Aiyuk’s absence along with other young pass catchers Ronnie Bell and Danny Gray.

Despite having some proven experience with the Jets and Panthers and some familiarity with scheme after playing with McDaniel in Miami, Chosen’s arrival in the Bay Area shouldn’t have much impact on Aiyuk’s situation with the 49ers.

Robbie ‘Chosen’ Anderson will tryout for Seahawks at minicamp

The Seahawks are considering adding another name to their 11-deep wide receiver corps to make it an even 12.

The Seahawks are considering adding another name to their 11-deep wide receiver corps to make it an even 12.

According to a report by Tom Pelissero at NFL Network, former Jets, Panthers and Dolphins wide receiver Robbie “Chosen” Anderson will try out for Seattle this week at mandatory minicamp.

Anderson (6-foot-3, 185 pounds) played his college ball at Temple along with quarterback P.J. Walker, who the team is reportedly signing but has not made official as of yet. After going undrafted, Anderson got his first gig in the NFL with the Jets in 2016. He played there the next four years, totaling over 3,000 yards and 20 touchdowns.

In 2020 he signed a lucrative deal with Carolina, where he stayed for three seasons, putting up another 1,821 yards and nine more touchdowns. Since then Chosen hasn’t seen much playing time, putting in about half a season each with the Cardinals and the Dolphins, totaling a little over 200 yards and one score.

It’s tough to say where Anderson might fit in on Seattle’s depth chart right now, but his experience probably gives him a leg up over undrafted rookies like Dee Williams and Hayden Hatten.

The Miami Dolphins set a pro football record with 10 offensive touchdowns against the Broncos, and here are all 10 of them!

The Denver Broncos knew that the Miami Dolphins have quite the offense under head coach Mike McDaniel, but nobody expected THIS particular Spanish Inquisition.

The Dolphins skunked the Broncos, 70-20, and they made quite a bit of history in doing so. It’s tied for the third-most points ever scored in an NFL game, it’s the only time in pro football history that a team has scored 10 offensive touchdowns in a game, and Miami’s 726 total net yards is the most in a pro football game… ever. Running backs Devon Achane and Raheem Mostert each scored four touchdowns, and Tua Tagovailoa finished his day with 23 completions in 26 attempts for 309 yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions, and a passer rating of 155.8.

Here are all 10 of these touchdowns in order. Avert your eyes, Broncos fans…

5 things to know about new Dolphins WR Chosen Anderson

Get to know the newest wideout.

The Miami Dolphins have added another explosive talent to the offense, as Chosen Anderson signed a one-year deal with the potential to play a big role on a team that’s looking to make a run at a championship.

Anderson may be expected to make an immediate impact on the Dolphins’ offense as a legitimate number three receiver. He may have to earn his way on the depth chart, but his experience and skill set should give him an advantage in training camp.

Before he steps on the field in a Miami jersey, here are a few things for fans to know about the wide receiver.

Breaking down terms of new Dolphins WR Chosen Anderson’s contract

There’s very little guaranteed.

Nearly a month into the new league year, the Miami Dolphins have still been making moves to improve their roster with the hopes of winning a Super Bowl in the near future.

Miami’s most recent transaction was the signing of former Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Chosen Anderson. According to Over the Cap, the two sides agreed to a one-year contract worth roughly $1.32 million. Anderson will receive about $1.17 million in a base salary and $152,500 in a signing bonus. His cap hit for 2023 is set to be $1.09 million.

Signing late into free agency, and with a number of young, talented players on the roster, Anderson didn’t receive any guarantees about having a big role in the offense.

“I told him, ‘don’t rush through this decision just because it’s home. Talk to those other teams that are interested in you and make your decision on what’s best for you because we have two dynamic players that are the starters.’ And he understands that,” general manager Chris Grier said Anderson’s addition. “So we told him what the role would be and he was excited and all in on it and was excited to come here. I’ve enjoyed getting to know him and talk to him, so I am excited to add him.”

With Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Cedrick Wilson expected to hold the top three spots, and Braxton Berrios being a free agent signing as well, Anderson’s role in the offense is unclear at this point.

That’s if he even makes the team at all. Miami would save $940,000 if they were to release him before the start of the season and have only $152,500 in dead cap.

WATCH: New Dolphins WR Chosen Anderson announces his decision with Tua Tagovailoa jersey

The wideout shared the news with his friends and family.

The Miami Dolphins made a pretty surprising signing late on Saturday night, as they brought in Chosen Anderson on a one-year deal despite having a rather full wide receiver room.

Robinson broke the news to his family and friends by pulling out a Tua Tagovailoa jersey from a Nike box, and the crowd went wild.

That’s one way to win over your new quarterback before you ever step on the field with him for the first time. Anderson will have to gain favor with Tagovailoa, as he’ll likely be fighting for a roster spot with Erik Ezukanma, River Cracraft, Cedrick Wilson Jr. and Braylon Sanders.

Former Cardinals WR Chosen Anderson lands with Dolphins

H only had seven catches in 10 games after he was acquired via trade.

The Arizona Cardinals moved on from wide receiver Chosen Anderson (formerly Robbie Anderson) this offseason, releasing him before his roster bonus was due.

Anderson has landed with a new team.

According to ESPN’s Marcel Louis-Jacques, Anderson has agreed to a deal with the Miami Dolphins.

The Cardinals acquired Anderson from the Carolina Panthers before the trade deadline for a 2024 sixth-round pick and 2025 seventh-round pick.

He was a disappointment. He managed to be on the field for only 209 offensive snaps in 10 games. He had only seven receptions for 76 yards.

Dolphins to sign former Cardinals WR Chosen Anderson

Fans should be familiar with him due to his time with the Jets.

The Miami Dolphins are building their roster for the 2023 campaign, as they prepare for the NFL draft in just under two weeks.

However, just because the draft is close doesn’t mean they can’t still sign free agents. In fact, Miami went out and did exactly that on Saturday night, as they agreed to terms with wide receiver Chosen Anderson, according to the Miami Herald’s Daniel Oyefusi.

Anderson, who went by Robbie prior to this year, was originally signed by the New York Jets back in 2016 as an undrafted free agent. After the completion of his rookie deal, he signed with the Carolina Panthers, even getting an extension after his first season with the team. Before he reached the end of that contract, he was traded to the Arizona Cardinals midway through the 2022 season.

In his seven years in the NFL, Anderson has recorded 375 receptions for 4,956 yards and 29 touchdowns. His best season came in 2020 with the Panthers when he brought in 95 passes for 1,096 yards and three scores.

It’s unclear what Miami’s plans are at wide receiver at the moment, considering they have a lot of talent. Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are guaranteed the top two spots, but beyond that, anything could happen with Cedrick Wilson Jr., Braxton Berrios, River Cracraft, Erik Ezukanma and Braylon Sanders.

Former Panthers WR Chosen Anderson to sign with Dolphins

Former Panthers WR Chosen Anderson has reportedly agreed to terms with the Dolphins.

The wideout formerly known as Robert Steven Anderson is headed home.

As first reported by ESPN’s Marcel Louis-Jacques on Saturday night, former Carolina Panthers receiver Chosen Anderson has agreed to terms with the Miami Dolphins. The Broward County boy seemingly broke the news even before Louis-Jacques, posting and sharing videos on his Instagram account of what appeared to be a reveal for the move.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CrFD_5sMIK-/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Anderson, back when he was Robby, signed on with Carolina in March of 2020 on a two-year, $20 million contract. He proceeded to record career-highs in receptions (95) and receiving yards (1,096) that season.

His impressive campaign for the organization then led to a two-year, $29.5 million extension in the summer of 2021. That pact, however, would never pay off for the Panthers—as Anderson went on to amass just 725 receiving yards in the 23 games following the new deal.

Then, back when he was Robbie, Anderson earned himself a one-way ticket out of town after shouting at wide receivers coach Joe Dailey on the sideline during the team’s Week 6 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams this past season. He was shipped off to the Arizona Cardinals, in exchange for a 2024 sixth-round pick and a 2025 seventh-round pick, less than 24 hours later.

Unfortunately for Anderson, he wouldn’t turn his fortunes around in the desert—totaling 76 yards on seven catches over 10 outings. The Cardinals released the 29-year-old on March 8.

Cardinals release former Panthers WR Chosen Anderson

The Cardinals have officially released former Panthers WR Chosen (a.k.a Robbie/Robby) Anderson.

The Arizona Cardinals made their choice official on Wednesday.

As announced by the team this afternoon, they’ve released wide receiver Chosen Anderson—who was acquired via a trade with the Carolina Panthers this past season. The release of the man formerly known as Robbie (and Robby) will save the Cardinals approximately $12 million of salary cap space.

Anderson’s contract came to be in Carolina—when he signed a two-year, $29.5 million extension in the summer of 2021. He was fresh off a career campaign in 2020, one where he reeled in 95 receptions for 1,096 yards and three touchdowns.

The next pair of seasons wouldn’t be nearly as smooth for Anderson. He’d amass a career-low 519 receiving yards (and a few sideline outbursts) in 2021.

A third sideline episode in 2022, that time with wide receivers coach Joe Dailey, would ultimately spell the end for his tenure in Carolina. Just one day later, the Panthers traded Anderson to the Cardinals for a sixth-round draft pick in 2024 and a fifth-round draft pick in 2025.
