The San Francisco 49ers have a clear need for a pass-catcher to step up and boost their offense, particularly after losing star receiver Brandon Aiyuk for the season with a knee injury. But it sure seems like the team won’t be making a trade to help that position.

The trade speculation kicked into overdrive after Aiyuk’s injury and a few big wide receiver trades in the recent weeks.
