Sources: Niners eyed Jefferson trade before draft

The 49ers, Jets, and Colts all inquired about trading for Vikings star wide receiver Justin Jefferson before the NFL draft, but the Vikings had no interest in moving him. The Vikings ended up signing Jefferson to a record-breaking deal in June, making him the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history. Despite interest from other teams, the Vikings were focused on re-signing Jefferson and never considered trading him. Jefferson, who is known for his speed, agility, and intelligence on the field, has been a standout player in the league and set multiple records for receiving yards early in his career.
