Inks deal with Atlanta
The Falcons signed McCloud to a two-year deal worth up to $6 million Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
McCloud has agreed to terms with Atlanta after spending the last two years of his career in San Francisco. The 27-year-old wideout was primarily utilized as a return specialist in 2023, returning 24 punts and 10 kicks for 428 yards. McCloud played just 28 percent of the 49ers' offensive snaps last season, catching 12 of his 15 targets for 135 yards and no touchdowns. He's expected to have the opportunity to compete for a depth role at wideout this offseason, most likely behind both Drake London and Darnell Mooney.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could see immediate work in return
McCloud, who was activated from the 49ers' injured reserve list Saturday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, could be heavily involved in the offense with the team expected to rest multiple starters.
ANALYSIS
With the 49ers locked into the first seed of the NFC, some offensive starters like Christian McCaffrey and Brock Purdy have already been ruled out of the team's regular-season finale. While wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk haven't been officially ruled out, it's unlikely they'll get much playing time if they do end up suiting up. This presents a good opportunity for McCloud to get some reps on offense after missing the last five games with a rib injury. He's played 161 snaps on offense over 11 games and has accumulated nine catches on 11 targets for 113 yards over that span.

2018
McCloud turned out to be a great signing for the 49ers last season, as the journeyman filled the team's need for a return specialist after experimenting with several options over the past couple of years. The fifth-year pro also proved to be a sneaky weapon for head coach Kyle Shanahan on offense, posting 18 touches for 321 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns in 17 games. Expect McCloud to continue handling all of San Francisco's return duties while serving as the team's fourth wideout in 2023.
