The San Francisco 49ers are done trading for players, but they might have a chance to trade some—or at least one—of their own. Our old friend James Brady has heard that some teams have made phone calls to the 49ers on Nick Mullens.
James points out that the 49ers aren’t exactly shopping Mullens around, but nothing is stopping them from picking up the phone and listening to offers. It sounds like just that: teams are coming to John Lynch and co. not the other way around.
Mullens is a great backup, but I’m sure a team may have floated the idea of giving him the keys to see what he can do a la Jimmy Garoppolo to the 49ers in 2017.
