What Lynch smartly said when asked about the Adams-to-49ers possibility originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

While a Davante Adams trade to the 49ers seems unlikely, general manager John Lynch isn’t ruling out the possibility.

“We like our group. Davante is a great player,” Lynch said Friday morning on KNBR’s “Murph & Markus.” “One thing we’ve shown is that we’re always looking, we’re never afraid to look and see what’s there. We are never afraid to pull the trigger. But I think this year we feel like our roster is good. in a pretty good spot.

“We’ve had some injuries, but we’ll never say never. And it has to work. It has to work for both sides, but it also has to work for us. I won’t comment on a specific player, but at the moment we are like where our selection is.”

Adams wants to leave Las Vegas after two seasons with the Raiders, who have indicated teams are open to trading Adams, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Tuesday.

The All-Pro receiver prefers to reunite with one of his former NFL quarterbacks – Aaron Rodgers with the New York Jets or Derek Carr with the New Orleans Saints – according to Schefter.

But Adams, 31, is also open to other destinations. The Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens, Dallas Cowboys and 49ers are all among the teams that have either inquired about the six-time Pro Bowl receiver or are places Adams would like to land, NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reported Thursday, citing sources on were aware of Adams’ thinking.

The NFL world has learned that Lynch and Co. likes to play chess while others play checkers, and his latest comments further prove that nothing is ever off the table for the 49ers.
