Horse Tracks: 49ers reportedly offered a 3rd round pick for WR Courtland Sutton

Good Morning Broncos Country!

According to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, the San Francisco 49ers offered the Denver Broncos a third-round pick for veteran wide receiver Courtland Sutton. Their plan was to trade for Sutton and then send wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Broncos obviously turned down this offer so the Steelers did not end up getting Aiyuk.

The 49ers only were willing to trade Brandon Aiyuk if they could get a top-flight WR to replace him. They offered a third-round pick to Denver for Courtland Sutton, and then would’ve dealt Aiyuk to the Steelers, but the Broncos declined the offer.
