– A.J. Brown linked to SF: An ESPN forecast names the 49ers as a plausible destination if Philadelphia moves Brown this offseason. No imminent deal, but the connection is notable. 📊
– Cap and timing matter: The Eagles could save about $7 million in cap space by trading Brown after June 1, a key factor that could accelerate talks later in the year. ⏳
– Why it matters for SF: WR is a clear offseason priority, with questions about Brandon Aiyuk’s future guarantees. Brown could instantly give SF a proven WR1 and force defenses to game-plan differently. 🔥
– Other 49ers headlines to watch:
