Who Should I Start? Robbie Chosen or Ricky White III

Tuesday, August 26, 9:57 PM

The San Francisco 49ers released wide receiver Robbie Chosen on Tuesday despite a productive preseason. After he signed with the 49ers earlier this month, the 32-year-old appeared in all three of the team's exhibition games and racked up nine catches for 117 yards. Chosen was a factor earlier in his career, especially when he amassed 95 receptions for 1,096 yards and three touchdowns with the Carolina Panthers in 2020. His numbers have dropped off considerably since then, though, and he combined for just five catches in 11 games with the Miami Dolphins from 2023-24.

After trading away veteran wide receiver D.K. Metcalf and letting Tyler Lockett walk in free agency, the Seattle Seahawks spent Day 3 draft picks on rookie receivers Tory Horton and Ricky White III. While Horton has all but assured himself of a meaningful spot on the team, White has had an uneventful summer, and he is not projected to make the team's initial 53-man roster. After garnering steam in the pre-draft process following a highly productive college career at Michigan State and UNLV, White fell to the 7th round. He appeared in all three of Seattle's preseason contests, making three catches for 40 yards and failing to register a stat on his 20 special teams snaps. If released, White is a potential practice squad candidate, either in Seattle or somewhere else, but those who drafted him early in dynasty leagues should feel free to move on if facing a crunch for bench spots.
