San Francisco 49ers Trade For AFC WR In This Intriguing Proposal
As the 2024 NFL season approaches, the San Francisco 49ers are considered strong Super Bowl contenders and are favored to win each of their regular season games. While it’s unlikely they’ll go undefeated, this expectation highlights their perceived strength.
A key storyline for the 49ers involves star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who has not yet agreed to a new deal with the team, and negotiations for a long-term contract seem stalled. Speculation suggests that the 49ers might part ways with Aiyuk next offseason or possibly re-sign him and then move on from Deebo Samuel.
Given this uncertainty, adding another wide receiver before the season could be a strategic move. ClutchPoints has proposed that the 49ers should consider trading for Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks. They suggest that if the 49ers re-sign Aiyuk and move on from Samuel, Burks could be a valuable addition.
Burks has struggled in his first two NFL seasons, with 49 receptions for 665 yards and one touchdown over 22 games, which has likely lowered his trade value. The 49ers could potentially acquire him for a late-round pick, such as a fifth or sixth-rounder.
Trading for Burks, a former No. 18 overall pick who is just 24 years old, could be a low-risk, high-reward move. If Burks reaches his potential, the 49ers could secure a major steal. If not, they could release him after the 2024 season without significant loss.
