49ers’ Kyle Shanahan seems open to idea of Julio Jones trade
It’s no surprise that the San Francisco 49ers have been among those linked to a Julio Jones trade after reports surfaced that the Atlanta Falcons were looking to move the seven-time Pro Bowl receiver.
Even after signing veterans Marqise Lee and Mohamed Sanu earlier in the offseason, San Francisco is in need of another wide receiver. Jones, 32, would be an ideal fit with Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel.
The future Hall of Famer also has a built-in relationship with San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan dating back to their days together in Atlanta in 2015 and 2016.
In talking with former NFL receiver Michael Irvin on a recent podcast, Shanahan opened up about the possibility of acquiring Jones.
