According to
Adam Schefter and the NFL Network, the 49ers are showing interest in trading for Green Bay Packers wide receiver Javon Walker.
Other teams that may be interested include the Denver Broncos and Philadelphia Eagles. Schefter states that any team that was interested in Bills receiver Eric Moulds, could also look to acquire Walker. That would include the Houston Texans, New England Patriots and others.
However, ESPNews reported today that the Green Bay Packers will not trade Walker. Walker has been looking to get out of Green Bay for the past two seasons and has repeatedly stated that he has no desire to return.
Walker has 4 years of NFL experience and has 157 catches with 2444 yards and 22 touchdowns during that career. His best year came in 2004 when he had 89 catches for 1382 yards and 12 touchdowns.

"Hargrave accounted for 57 total pressures last season for the Eagles, more than double any 49ers interior lineman. Clelin Ferrell is a far more quietly solid

Kyle Shanahan feels "really fortunate" with 49ers' QB room
Kyle Shanahan praises his quarterback room every year. Last season, the San Francisco 49ers went through three starting quarterbacks and still made it to the NFC Championship Game. Trey Lance was the Week 1 starter but suffered a season-ending ankle injury during his second game. Eleven weeks later, Jimmy Garoppolo sustained a broken foot.
That opened the door for rookie Brock Purdy to show his coaches and the NFL world that he belonged, despite being the last overall pick in the draft. Purdy guided the 49ers to eight consecutive wins before suffering a severe injury in that NFC title game matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Two of the quarterbacks from last season—Lance and Purdy—remain. Both are just 23 years old. They are joined by Sam

The San Francisco 49ers entered the offseason with several questions after key figures, such as Jimmie Ward, Mike McGlinchey, Samson Ebukam, and Charles Omenihu, departed in free agency, creating the possibility for position battles in organized team activities(OTAs) and training camp.
