Well, let’s hope this won’t get awkward for the San Francisco 49ers in 2020.
Amid the backdrop of day three of the NFL Draft, the Niners executed a blockbuster trade with the Washington Redskins to acquire veteran offensive tackle Trent Williams in exchange for a fifth-round pick and a 2021 third rounder.
The move, as reports later confirmed, was to find a replacement for San Francisco’s longest-tenured player, left tackle Joe Staley, who plans on announcing his retirement and had told the team of his intentions before the draft kicked off.
