John Lynch addresses Josh Gordon pursuit and

why 49ers did not make a trade The New England Patriots did a deal with the Cleveland Browns this week in which they acquired wide receiver Josh Gordon and a seventh round pick in exchange for a fifth round pick. It remains to be seen how much playing time Gordon will see this weekend or even the rest of this year Womens Dante Pettis Jersey , but if he is able to play, his talent could be a huge upgrade for the Patriots.San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said over the weekend that the 49ers had called the Browns and were doing their due diligence. Both Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan have regularly talked about considering any option that can potentially improve the team, and Gordon was no different.When word got out that Patriots completed a trade for Gordon, plenty of 49ers fans were upset. The 49ers have some intriguing wide receivers, but there are question marks around the group. Lynch and Shanahan have defended their receivers regularly, and have made it clear this is the group they want to build around.On Thursday, Lynch made an appearance on KNBR, and he was asked about the deal and what kind of value they put on players when considering trades. He did not come right out and say the exact reasons the 49ers did not do the deal Youth Richard Sherman Jersey , but he offered a big hint.I did some quick research, and three 49ers coaches spent time with the Cleveland Browns at the same time as Josh Gordon. That includes head coach Kyle Shanahan (Browns OC in 2014), tight ends coach and assistant head coach Jon Embree (Browns TE coach in 2013), and wide receivers coach Mike McDaniel (Browns WR coach in 2013). Lynch’s comments would seem to make it pretty clear one or more of these three did not think Gordon’s potential was worth the off-field issues.Some of the complaints about not trading for Gordon came up in part because it came so soon after Khalil Mack was traded to the Chicago Bears. Whenever a big name comes available, fans are quick to call for a deal to be done. Lynch said that doing these kinds of deals depends a lot on where your team is at.Jimmy Garoppolo was a blockbuster deal, and maybe we see more in the future. In the meantime, Lynch understands fans are going to push for these kinds of deals. In fact, his own family members get in on the action Womens Alfred Morris Jersey , regardless of whether a given player is actually available.Will we see a three inside linebacker look in Kansas City? Fooch’s update: Maybe it will happen!The 49ers are finally back to full strength at linebacker as they look to have Fred Warner, Malcolm Smith and Reuben Foster all available when they face the Chiefs. While neither head coach Kyle Shanahan nor defensive coordinator Robert Saleh would admit to planning on all three being on the field at once, Saleh did explain that they always want the best 11 on the field: In his press conference on Friday, Shanahan would only admit that they do have a “very clear” picture of what their linebacker alignment would be in Kansas City but he would not share it. It really is what makes most sense, looking at the health of the secondary. The 49ers activated defensive back Tyvis Powell from the practice squad and released linebacker Terence Garvin which could be an indication of Jaquiski Tartt’s health which has been in question all week with a shoulder stinger. Ahkello Witherspoon is nursing an injured ankle and hip and Adrian Colbert isn’t 100% either with a slight hamstring strain. If the plan is to get the healthiest and best 11 on the field, the 49ers will have to field all three of the linebackers at once for at least a decent portion of their defensive snaps. Both Foster and Warner offer great coverage in the middle with their speed as we’ve seen in previous games. Smith hasn’t played SAM since high school but it may be a necessity, offering a more reliable option than Mark Nzeocha on the outside.
