Marqise Lee: Released Friday
Marqise Lee (undisclosed) was released by the 49ers on Friday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.Lee spent only a week with the 49ers before being released in favor of fellow veteran Bennie Fowler. The 29-year-old opted out of the 2020 campaign with New England and was eventually cut by the Patriots because of a failed physical earlier this offseason. Lee's most recent fantasy-relevant season was 2017, when he recorded 56 catches for 702 yards and three touchdowns with the Jaguars; therefore, it's difficult to project what his 2021 contributions would be.

Marqise Lee: Let go by Patriots
The Patriots will release Marqise Lee, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.Lee, who opted out of the 2020 season, last saw NFL action with the Jaguars in 2019. The 2014 second-rounder hasn't produced much since the 2017 campaign, but if he can avoid injury, the 29-year-old should be able to catch on elsewhere as a depth option.

Patriots' Marqise Lee: On track to return next season
Marqise Lee, who opted out of the 2020 NFL season, is "trending toward playing" in 2021, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.The 2014 second rounder -- who previously saw regular-season action in five campaigns with the Jaguars -- will now be further removed from the torn ACL that cost him the 2018 season and a shoulder injury that shortened his 2019 effort. Assuming he does return to the New England Patriots, the 29-year-old will have an opportunity to carve out a role in a wide receiver corps that can use some upgrades. For that reason, it's possible that Lee could emerge as a deep fantasy sleeper in an offense that figures to see its share of offseason personnel changes.

Patriots' Marqise Lee: Opting out of 2020 season
Marqise Lee informed the New England Patriots on Saturday that he will opt out of the 2020 season, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.Signed to a one-year, $910,000 deal, Lee didn't have much financial incentive in the face of the escalated risk brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. He was in position to bet on himself in free agency next offseason while offering the Patriots reps both in the slot and outside, but the former USC star will wait until the 2021 campaign to make his attempted comeback from multiple years of poor injury luck. His absence improves the odds of fringe receiver prospects like Will Hastings and Jeff Thomas earning a final roster spot.

Patriots' Marqise Lee: Joining Patriots
Marqise Lee is signing a one-year contract with New England, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.It's a pretty good landing spot for Lee, who was released by the Jaguars on Monday after playing only six games the past two seasons. The 2014 second-round pick was a late bloomer in Jacksonville, eventually emerging as a useful possession receiver in 2016 and 2017. He cashed in with a four-year, $34 million contract but then suffered an ACL tear during the 2018 preseason and entered 2019 at No. 4 on the Jags' WR depth chart. A shoulder injury forced Lee to injured reserve in late October, setting the stage for his offseason release. He'll now head to New England, where the wideout position appears shaky beyond top dog Julian Edelman.

Marqise Lee: Sent packing by Jags
The Jaguars released Marqise Lee (shoulder) on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Lee has been productive at times in his NFL career, combining for 119 catches, 1,553 yards and six touchdowns on 201 targets in 30 regular-season games between 2016 and 2017. Otherwise, he's made just 29 other appearances since he was selected by Jacksonville in the second round of the 2014 draft, missing the entire 2018 campaign due to a torn ACL and being limited to six outings last year due to a variety of concerns. Rapoport noted Lee is "fully healthy and completely cleared medically," but the 28-year-old wide receiver still will need to pass a physical before officially finding a new employer.
