In the real world, the New York Jets tradedSam Darnold to the Carolina Panthers this week, but the NFC South squad wasn t the only one to check in on the fourth-year signal-caller.
In a bizarro land elsewhere in the multiverse, perhaps Darnold could be headed to a different club.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that prior to free agency, the Washington Football Team and San Francisco 49ers took a hard look at Darnold, per sources informed of the situation.
Rapoport added that Washington had conversations about a potential trade, and the Niners inquired about what it would take to happen, though New York wasn t ready to make a move at the time (the full evaluation of Zach Wilson and other QB prospects in the draft hadn t been completed).

The extension added two years and $20.1 million in possible earnings, with $16 million in guarantees, and Hudson received a $7.4 million increase in fully guaranteed money to bring the fully guaranteed total up to $10.9 million, per Rapoport. The pact also includes two voidable years for cap purposes.
