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.

Do the San Francisco 49ers regret making defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw a first-round pick in 2020? You will get very different answers to that question on social media than the answers from the team's top decision-makers.
Kinlaw has only appeared in 10 games over the past two seasons, dealing with the knee injury that was a concern coming out of South Carolina. The defensive tackle had reconstructive knee surgery in 2021. A setback this past season forced him to miss 11 games.
When Kinlaw has played, he has failed to make an impact on the defensive side of the ball. He has earned only 1.5 sacks in three NFL seasons, and his 31.9 overall grade from Pro Football Focus for the 2022 season (including the playoffs) was the lowest on the
