The 49ers have deep needs at cornerback this offseason, so making a trade run at the Patriots’ Stephon Gilmore would make some sense.
The San Francisco 49ers could potentially lose an awful lot of cornerbacks to NFL free agency this offseason.
Richard Sherman, K’Waun Williams, Jason Verrett, Dontae Johnson, Ahkello Witherspoon and Jamar Taylor are just some of the defensive backs the Niners stand to lose to the open market, and even fellow corner Emmanuel Moseley is a restricted free agent.
