The San Francisco 49ers reportedly mulled over a league-shifting move according to Dan Patrick.
On Wednesday’s radio show, the longtime sportscaster revealed that he was told the Niners “kicked the tires” on trading for former MVP Lamar Jackson.
Sharing, “I was told this yesterday… the Niners monitored everything, including Lamar Jackson. They’ve explored that, or at least looked it. They kicked the tires on that. And of course you should do that. Always try to improve.”

Safe to say Patrick’s comments definitely got some attention.
“Do the 49ers just want ALL the QBs this off-season?” a user asked.

“Welp, there goes Falcons fans’ incessant desire to point to the 49ers as a team that ‘can win without a top quarterback,'” another replied. “‘Always try to improve’ but I know that’s a foreign concept.”

“Said ‘explored.’ Past tense. But if this kicked up again, it would have major ramifications on the Vikings QB situation,” a Minnesota podcast tweeted. “1) Ravens at 22 would have a need at QB. 2) Trey Lance 100% available in trade.”
