Sources - 49ers called on Justin Jefferson trade before draft - ESPN

15.09.2024 - 12:06 espn.com

Amid the offseason uncertainty surrounding Brandon Aiyuk, the 49ers checked in on Justin Jefferson's availability before this year's NFL draft, but the Vikings had zero interest in trading the star wide receiver and immediately rebuffed San Francisco's inquiries, league sources told ESPN.

The 49ers were not the only team to check in on Jefferson. The Jets and Colts also had some level of interest, but the Vikings never considered moving the three-time Pro Bowler and talks never went anywhere, according to sources.

Those inquiries came before the Vikings signed Jefferson to a record deal in June, making him the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history.

Inquiring teams thought they might be able to tempt Minnesota into attractive trade packages, but the Vikings only were interested in re-signing one of the league's top players.
