PFT: Joe Staley might be available via a trade

follow By Site Staff Oct 23, 2016 at 9:23 PM •

Joe Staley for the right price. According to Florio, the 49ers are angling for a first-round pick from a playoff contender for Staley. That means it would be a selection late in the first round.



Playoff teams typically trade from picks 21 through 32 in the first round. Of course, that could be different depending on any draft pick trades that take place. Florio says that Staley has been tied to the same teams that have some degree of interest in Cleveland Browns tackle Joe Thomas. Those teams are the Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants, Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks, and New England Patriots.



It is unknown if this information is pure speculation by his "source" or if these teams have a legitimate interest in Staley and not just a tackle in general. The inclusion of NFC West teams Arizona and Seattle seems odd, but not enough to debunk the rumor.



Over the course of the season, Staley has been the 49ers' top graded player per Pro Football Focus – not counting NaVorro Bowman, who is on the injured reserve list. He has been, by far, their best offensive lineman and that has been the case for years.



Staley, who is 32, is under contract through 2019. The trade window closes on Tuesday, November 1 at 1:00 p.m. PT.

Mike McGlinchey explains how the lack of crowd noise might be an advantage for the 49ers O-line

By David Bonilla Sep 11, 2020

The San Francisco 49ers won't host fans inside Levi's Stadium when they play the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday — air quality permitting. That could be seen as a negative when it comes to creating energy and a real home-field advantage. It might also be an advantage for aggressive defensive linemen who won't be distracted by the noise of a hostile environment and be able to react to the snap of the football more quickly. Right tackle Mike McGlinchey sees some advantages to quieter NFL stadiums, though, correcting any perceived misconceptions that they might benefit
