The San Francisco 49ers are reportedly working on a potential deal to trade starting tackle Trent Brown to the New England Patriots, according to a report from Pro Football Talk.


The 49ers added Notre Dame tackle Mike McGlinchey with their ninth-overall pick on Thursday night. Head coach Kyle Shanahan stated that McGlinchey would play right tackle, the same position as Brown.

Brown, who has been with the 49ers for three seasons, was selected by the team in the seventh round of the 2015 NFL Draft. He has played in 31 games with the 49ers and started all but three of those appearances.

Brown injured his shoulder during practice on Thanksgiving Day last year. While he came back and played against the Chicago Bears during Week 13, the injury did not go away. Brown missed the final four games of the season and landed on injured reserve.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters on Thursday that Brown is expected to be fully recovered by training camp in late-July. Brown is entering the final year of his rookie contract.

Rumors surfaced on Thursday of a potential trade involving Brown. However, it was initially reported by Chance Dickman of KSBY-TV as a possible deal between the 49ers and Denver Broncos.

Tony Pauline of Draft Analyst later stated that Brown reported to the offseason program out of shape and the 49ers have concerns about his recovery, which may have contributed to decision to select McGlinchey.

While the 49ers claimed not to be in trade talks for Brown, Lynch was asked if they would be open to trading the veteran tackle.

"You know, you never say never," he answered. "Right now, we're pleased to have great competition at that spot."

49ers actively negotiating with Brandon Aiyuk, not discussing trades, says John Lynch

General manager John Lynch addressed reporters at the NFL owners meetings on Monday, emphasizing the San Francisco 49ers' active pursuit of a contract extension for wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. There has been significant speculation surrounding Aiyuk's status this offseason. The receiver is slated to play on his fifth-year option, which guarantees him $14.124 million in 2024. While the team would be content with Aiyuk playing on that fifth-year option, it would prefer to secure the star receiver to a long-term deal before he returns to the field.

Brandon Aiyuk recently hinted that he might consider playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers if the San Francisco 49ers are unwilling to offer him a contract extension at market value and opt to trade him to the AFC team. Of course, that could be a negotiating tactic from Aiyuk's camp as the 49ers work to sign the receiver to a contract extension. That doesn't mean San Francisco isn't willing to talk to interested teams. The team reportedly sought the No. 17 overall pick and a player from the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for Aiyuk, but no deal materialized. 49ers insider Matt Barrows of

While rumors have continued to swirl about the possibility of the San Francisco 49ers trading star wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk, some have held fast to the belief that the 49ers will not trade the player. Teams are calling about Aiyuk. Reportedly, the Jacksonville Jaguars were interested but felt the 49ers asking price was too high. And who could forget the talk of Aiyuk going to Pittsburgh when he fanned the trade rumor flames with a social media post about how he and Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin look alike? (Now that he mentions it, they do kind of look alike.) But when push comes to shove, will the 49ers really consider trading Aiyuk? I suppose if the price is right, they will. But they've invested so much in him, from taking him 25th overall in the 2020 NFL draft to
