After executing one of the biggest trades of the 2022 season, it appears the 49ers could be eyeing another possible move ahead of next Tuesday’s trade deadline.
San Francisco has reportedly shown an interest in listening to potential offers for running back Jeff Wilson Jr. after receiving calls from interested teams, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. The Niners could look to move on from the 25-year-old standout back after acquiring All-Pro Christian McCaffrey in a blockbuster deal last week.
Fowler also noted the pending return of Elijah Mitchell (knee) from injured reserve following San Francisco’s Week 9 bye as another contributing factor. With McCaffrey and Mitchell, the Niners would have five available backs in their rotation along with promising rookies Tyrion Davis-Price and Jordan Mason.
