The San Francisco 49ers would be
open to trading veteran wide receiver Marquise Goodwin. Could the Dallas Cowboys be in the market for the speedy wideout? Perhaps. Or, at least, somebody like him.
Mike Fisher of Sports Illustrated speculates that the
Cowboys might be a willing trade partner, as the team seeks to add a player like Arizona Cardinals wideout Christian Kirk or Goodwin.
"What would it cost to pry Kirk or Goodwin from their present homes?" asks Fisher. "We'd suggest something in the range of a fifth-round pick - with the understanding that other teams may outbid Dallas ... all part of the Cowboys' process of deciding just how much they need to spent on a player 'like' Kirk or Goodwin."
Goodwin had a breakout season in his first year with head coach Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers, putting up 962 receiving yards while hauling in 56 passes. His production dropped significantly over the last two seasons as he dealt with injuries. Goodwin landed on injured reserve on December 10, 2019.
San Francisco owns two first-round draft picks, but lack a selection between rounds one and five. Jeremy Fowler of ESPN today speculated that the 49ers
might try to package a player like Goodwin in a trade down from No. 31 overall to gain some draft equity during day two, noting that the receiver's elite speed holds value.
Fisher notes, however, that all of this is just speculation at this point, and doesn't represent any insider information. Although, one media source he spoke with agrees that the Cowboys would like to add to their receiver depth this offseason.

Insider provides clarity on 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk trade rumors
A questionable rumor surfaced on Wednesday regarding the Pittsburgh Steelers' interest in San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. Sports Illustrated contributor Noah Strackbein reported that the AFC team was seemingly confident they could pull off a trade for Aiyuk.
However, the credibility of this report comes into question due to the assertion that the Steelers believe they could acquire Aiyuk at a bargain price, possibly in exchange for a second-round draft pick and a late-round selection.

Why one analyst is worried for Brock Purdy if 49ers trade Brandon Aiyuk
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy achieved a remarkable feat in 2023, setting a single-season franchise record with 4,280 passing yards. This accomplishment is noteworthy, considering the illustrious quarterbacks who have graced the organization's history.
A significant portion of those yards came from wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who amassed a career-high and team-leading 1,342 receiving yards. Most of his 75 catches originated from passes thrown by Purdy.
Amidst significant offseason chatter surrounding the 49ers' star receiver, including several unsubstantiated trade rumors, Aiyuk's future remains uncertain. Former NFL player James Jones, now an analyst, expressed concern for Purdy should Aiyuk's tenure in the Bay Area come to an end.

Could the 49ers trade up in the draft for a top tackle?
The San Francisco 49ers are likely hoping that a top offensive lineman drops to them at No. 31 in the first round of this month's draft. Fans would like to see the team add someone to compete with Colton McKivitz for the right tackle spot and potentially take over for Trent Williams when the future Hall of Famer decides to retire.
Having two studs bookending the offensive line would go a long way in protecting franchise quarterback Brock Purdy. While tackle may be the first-round target, depending on how the first 30 selections play out, San Francisco might have to trade up to get a genuinely impactful
