ESPN had actually reported that parties included believed the 49ers and Cowboys were also associated with conversation. Lynch plainly refuted their reported participation.
Seattle traded 2 first-round choices and a third-round pick along with safety Bradley McDougald to the Jets to acquire Adams and a fourth-round choice on Saturday.
The 49ers were one of the teams Adams reportedly hoped he might be traded to, however the 49ers themselves do not appear to have been interested in him at the time. San Francisco does appear reasonably well positioned at safety with Jimmie Ward and Jaquiski Tartt set to man their 2 safety areas.

” Totally incorrect,” Lynch said. “We did never make a call about the player.”
