The San Francisco 49ers have agreed to a one-year contract with veteran receiver Christian Kirk, multiple ​outlets reported Monday.

The deal is worth ‌up to $6 million, according to ESPN.

Kirk is the second veteran receiver the 49ers have signed in consecutive weeks. San Francisco also added ‌longtime ​Tampa Bay Buccaneers ⁠star Mike Evans last ⁠week when free agency began.

Kirk, 29, has 432 career receptions for 5,415 yards and 30 touchdowns in 106 ​games (80 starts) over eight NFL seasons.

He struggled last season in his lone ⁠campaign with the Houston ⁠Texans. He had just 28 ​catches for 239 yards and one touchdown ​in 13 games.

Kirk did have a ‌big game in the postseason with eight catches for 144 yards and a touchdown as the Texans beat the ⁠Pittsburgh Steelers 30-6 in the AFC wild-card round.

Kirk also has played four seasons with the ⁠Arizona ‌Cardinals (2018-21) and three with the ⁠Jacksonville Jaguars (2022-24). His best season ​was ‌2022 when he established career ​highs of ⁠84 receptions, 1,108 yards and eight touchdowns.

Kirk was a second-round pick by Arizona in the 2018 draft. He was a college football standout at Texas A&M.
