Matt Maiocco, of the
Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports the
San Francisco 49ers rejected a trade with the
Denver Broncos that involved
Broncos WR
Ashley Lelie. The
Broncos were shopping Lelie for a second-round pick.
49ers vice president of player personnel Scot McCloughan said, "He does have some talent. He's more of a vertical guy, outside the numbers, and can stretch the field, but we had some issues with other things. (I'm) not saying he wouldn't fit in, but ... what kind of football player are we going to have when it's said and done?" He said the team would be interested if the Broncos' asking price drops dramatically.
Yeah, we're interested, but the thing is... he kinda sucks, and we know it.
