As the 49ers quarterback-speculation carousel continues to turn, the Jets’ Sam Darnold has become a topic, but the Niners won’t trade for him.
A few weeks ago, the San Francisco 49ers were apparently in on soon-to-be Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. Around the same time, the Houston Texans’ Deshaun Watson was the preferred target.
More recently, it appears as if the rumor mill has included New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold.
