One of the storylines coming into the 49ers before their game against the Detroit Lions Sunday was some talk from general manager John Lynch about the team looking into Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon. The Browns announced they would release Gordon on Monday barring any potential offers for a trade. Gordon is not subject to waivers, so once released he is free to sign with any team.
8-10 teams have called the Browns about Gordon, ESPN’s Josina Anderson reported on Monday morning. She said some of the team were adamant about not wanting it know their organization is calling, but the 49ers are not one of those teams remaining quiet about it.
