From their first rumored interest in Tom Brady in 2019 to Matthew Stafford in 2020 to all the rumored destinations for Jimmy Garoppolo last offseason, the 49ers have been heavy in the quarterback rumors. That’s what makes the recent rumors tying the 49ers to Kirk Cousins and Aaron Rodgers unsurprising.
Mike Florio mentioned on his podcast that “at the scouting combine, there was some chatter,” regarding the 49ers acquiring Kirk Cousins via trade.
The report’s timing is interesting for two reasons: 1. The combine was a month ago, and 2) Minnesota restructured Cousins’ contract in March with a dead cap hit of $38.
