The San Francisco 49ers haven't been very active in free agency apart from bringing back Anquan Boldin, but according to NFL.com, they have been talking with free agent Brandon Lloyd. Lloyd was with the Patriots in 2012 and put up 911 yards, but sat out the 2013 season after turning down a couple of chances to go to training camp, according to NFL.com. NFL.com reports that the 49ers are looking for a vertical threat, but if they sign Lloyd, their receiving corps would be slower-than-average.

The Niners have made similar moves with Randy Moss and a couple of others with little effect. Several teams showed interest last year, but the 49ers are the only team in play for Lloyd as of right now. We'll keep you posted when we know more.
