The San Francisco 49ers are far from a contender. In fact, they're a team that could land the top pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. With that in mind, they become sellers at the upcoming Oct. 30 trade deadline.

One player on the market is wide receiver Pierre Garçon. Plenty of teams who are still in contention need help at wideout, making the veteran wideout a coveted prize.

When healthy, Garçon can definitely help a playoff contender on the offensive side of the ball, but he's currently out with a knee injury.

Adam Schefter says at least three teams have called inquiring about Pierre Garçon. The 49ers should absolutely move him for anything if they can. I’m just not sure he’d pass a physical at this point to complete a trade.

Teams like the Panthers, Eagles, Texans, and his former team, the Redskins, could use help at wide receiver. With his health issues and declining play, you can't expect to get much for him at the moment, but Garçon is the perfect low-risk, high-reward player to acquire at the trade deadline.
