More information on the Packers and Javon Walker

According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, the Green Bay Packers have started taking calls from teams interested in trading for Javon Walker. They have stated in the past that they have no interest in trading the disgruntled wide receiver. However, they are now stating that a trade would only happen if the price were right.
While Schefter reports that the teams most interested are Denver and Philadelphia, he also states that at least three other teams are interested. The 49ers did show some interest in the past but were the ones to back out of a possible trade.
The 49ers no longer possess a second round pick this year and it is unlikely that they would give up one of their 2006 first rounders for Walker.

Steve Young on 49ers' Trey Lance: 'I came away wanting to see more'
Hall-of-Famer and former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, Steve Young, was a guest Thursday morning on KNBR radio. He spoke about Trey Lance's performance against the Seattle Seahawks last Sunday. Lance entered the game at quarterback at the beginning of the second half due to a calf injury sustained by starter Jimmy Garoppolo.
Young is among some of the former 49ers who have been vocal in their belief that the 49ers, at minimum, need to give Lance more playing time. This Sunday, Lance will likely make his first start in Arizona against the 4-0 Cardinals.
In reference to what he saw from the rookie quarterback on Sunday, Young said, "Watching Trey throughout the game, it reminded me of my Tampa Bay days. He has a much better team with him right now than I did,
Joe Staley: Jimmy Garoppolo will start, but 49ers are more exciting with Trey Lance
Former San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle, Joe Staley, went on KNBR Radio on Monday to discuss the 49ers' loss to the Arizona Cardinals. As expected, the conversation went to the quarterback situation with Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance, including who Staley believed would be under center in two weeks when the 49ers play the Indianapolis Colts.
"I think he made his decision before the season even started," Staley said on the Papa & Lund show. "If Jimmy's healthy, he's going to be our quarterback this year. They want to use it as a red-shirt year, almost, for Trey this season. I was encouraged."
That seemed to be the plan in the offseason, to have Lance sit and learn. Even after the game on Sunday, Kyle Shanahan continued to hold his ground that
John Lynch says 49ers believe in Brandon Aiyuk but need more 'urgency' from receiver

Brandon Aiyuk has been the talk amongst 49ers fans after his slow start to the season. He has only caught eight passes for 90 yards over the team's first six games, despite breaking out as a rookie, having caught 60 passes for 748 yards and five touchdowns, leading the team in all three of those categories in 2020.
Last week, John Lynch spoke about his second-year receiver and stated that Aiyuk "hasn't made the strides [the 49ers] have expected him to," sparking a controversy about whether the team's been misusing him, or if there's really something different about Aiyuk.
Still, Lynch, who spoke with NBC's Matt Maiocco, has given his utmost confidence in the 25th
