49ers Pursued Justin Jefferson Before Vikings' $140M Deal
TL;DR Summary
The San Francisco 49ers, along with the New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts, inquired about trading for Minnesota Vikings star receiver Justin Jefferson before the NFL draft. Despite the interest, the Vikings had no intention of trading Jefferson and made him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history with a four-year, $140 million deal. The 49ers' interest was partly due to ongoing contract issues with their own receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. All three teams that inquired about Jefferson ended up drafting receivers instead.
