Could the 49ers be a late entrant to the Aaron Rodgers sweepstakes?
That’s the idea Craig Carton suggested Tuesday as the Jets and Packers remain at a standstill in negotiations for Green Bay’s longtime quarterback, with the “Carton Show” and WFAN personality floating the possibility of San Francisco making a play for Rodgers if a deal with New York falls through.
“The conversation has been multiple third-round picks in this draft, and a first-round draft pick in next year’s draft,” Carton said Tuesday in regard to potential compensation.
The 49ers, currently coached by Kyle Shanahan, own three third-round picks and zero first-rounders in the 2023 NFL Draft.
