Late last season there were trade rumors swirling around him. We have an abundance of solid receivers and if we could move one of them and a mid round draft pick to acquire Staley, I wouldn't be opposed. That would only be if the Niners would agree. Maybe they wanna hold onto him though. I would at least ask about him. If that didn't work, I wait until cuts and see who is out there.

Not even Clady or Beatty? And I'll move Greene in a heartbeat. We need to shop him to see if we can get a viable LT or OG.

Clady is a shell of what he once was and can't stay healthy. Beatty wouldn't offer us much more than what we have now. I'm looking for someone who could start at LT for the next 2 seasons, as we will likely be using our 1st round pick and possibly more, on a new QB in the next draft. Franchise LT's don't grow on trees and it'll likely take a 1st rounder to get a stud. That means we probably wait until 2018. Like I said, I believe Robinson is a pure RT and I had him penned in to eventually replace Parnell. I still believe this happens, because I think the coaching staff will realize sooner or later that he lacks the footwork to play LT. If we were to be able to make a deal for Staley, we would be much better off than we are now, but if the Niners don't wanna trade him, I see no other long term options. Personally, I believe we have enough depth at WR that I'd be open to trading any of our guys, but I'd push for Lee. If we moved him, we wouldn't have to give up much more, if anything. We painted ourselves into a corner by trading for someone like Albert and only spending one draft pick on the O-Line. Now, it's very likely to bite us in the butt.
