According KFFL.com, Matt Maiocco of the Press Democrat reports that the Seattle Seahawks, Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos and Chicago Bears are all interested in possibly trading for San Francisco 49ers OG Justin Smiley.
It is unknown if KFFL is referencing new information or if they are simply referencing the below article from over 2 weeks ago.
SF willing to part with right guard Smiley
Smiley, who is listed at 6-3 and 301 lbs, has been an impressive young offensive lineman over the past couple of years and helped running back
Frank Gore gain 1,695 yards rushing last season.
While Smiley is a valued member of the team, he is also entering the final year of his contract. The 49ers have tried to resign Smiley but his asking price is much more than the team is willing to pay.
Smiley is entering his 4th NFL season.
Update (9/22): Since there has been no update to this news, it is pretty safe to assume that KFFL.com was referencing the article from over two weeks ago.

49ers reportedly among teams "most interested" in TE Zach Ertz
Zach Ertz has expressed his desire to join a playoff contender, and it appears that at least one is showing interest—the San Francisco 49ers. Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports that the Niners are among the "most interested" in the three-time Pro Bowl player.
The move makes sense. The 49ers have long searched for a tight end to complement George Kittle, their All-Pro playmaker. Ertz could prove to be an ideal fit for that role. He played college football at Stanford and grew up in the region.

Prepare to rally behind the Las Vegas Raiders or the New York Giants as the San Francisco 49ers look to secure a playoff spot in Week 14 with a helping hand from one of these two teams.

Even with a win, San Francisco still needs to see a victory from either the Raiders or the Giants to guarantee their postseason spot with four games remaining.
The Raiders play host to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. However, Minnesota
49ers vs. Seahawks: Brock Purdy gears up for familiar foe, acknowledges room for growth
Brock Purdy is gearing up to lead his San Francisco 49ers against the Seattle Seahawks for the second time in three games. This time, the Niners will play host, with Sunday's NFC West clash taking place at Levi's Stadium.

"They got good players, some really good dudes that have a lot of experience and stuff, obviously with [LB] Bobby Wagner and then [DB Quandre] Diggs in the secondary, some boys that are playing corner that have got some experience now under their belts," Purdy told reporters after Thursday's
Kyle Shanahan provides injury updates on Arik Armstead, Spencer Burford, Elijah Mitchell ahead of 49ers-Seahawks
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan provided injury updates during his weekly interview on Bay Area radio station KNBR, shedding light on the statuses of some ailing players ahead of the team's Week 14 showdown against the Seattle Seahawks.
Arik Armstead has yet to hit the practice field this week as he deals with foot and knee issues. On Wednesday, Shanahan said he would be surprised to see his veteran defensive tackle on the field this weekend. A day later, nothing has changed.
"Armstead's still looking like a long shot," Shanahan said on the "Tolbert and Copes" show. "Haven't ruled him out yet, officially, but I'll talk to the doctors. But I
