San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed after Sunday’s 18-15 loss to the Arizona Cardinals there’s a possibility receiver Pierre Garçon is traded before the deadline Tuesday.
“We’d love Pierre back,” Shanahan said. “... We’ve looked into everything, so teams have talked about him, and it is a possibility, but nothing for sure right now.”
Garçon, 32, missed Sunday’s contest because of a knee injury and has also dealt with shoulder issues. He’s a sensible trade candidate that could allow San Francisco (1-7) to recoup capital for the NFL draft as it continues to build for the future during a second straight lost season.
