The San Francisco 49ers "checked in" with the Minnesota Vikings about a possible trade for wide receiver Justin Jefferson in the offseason, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
At the time, it looked like the Niners might need a new No. 1 wideout with Brandon Aiyuk pushing for a new contract. Jefferson not only stayed in Minnesota, but Aiyuk also penned a four-year extension with San Francisco.
Schefter reported the New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts "had some level of interest" in Jefferson, only for the Vikings to shut the discussions down.
