Early in this year’s NFL free agency period, Jason La Canfora reported that the San Francisco 49ers might take a dive into Allen Robinson and Dion Lewis. La Canfora has always been one to take with a certain grain of salt, and this would seem to be another instance of it.
The 49ers gave significantly more money to Jerick McKinnon than the Tennessee Titans gave to Lewis. As for Robinson? According to a Jacksonville Jaguars beat writer, the 49ers might not have even really been in the mix for the free agent wide receiver.
