Trade Rumors: 49ers Want Housh'

T.J. Houshmandzadeh to San Francisco?

With the NFL's trading deadline less than a week away, there is already one big name that has hit the rumor mill.

There are reports that the San Francisco 49ers are interested in the Bengals T.J. Houshmandzadeh. Housh is a free agent after this season and there doesn't seem to be any way the team can keep him (other than using the franchise tag).

According to a league source, Houshmandzadeh's name has come up quite frequently during conversation at Niners headquarters in recent weeks. Apparently, 49ers offensive coordinator Mike Martz is enamored with Houshmandzadeh and may have learned some positive things about the receiver from a member of the Zampese family who Martz remains close to.

Housh tied the Patriots' Wes Welker for the NFL lead in receptions last season. Currently, he is by far the team leader in receptions (31), receiving yards (351) and touchdown receptions (three). He caught seven passes for 85 yards and two TDs against the Cowboys last week.
Despite being 2-3, the Niners have a great shot at winning the weak NFC West. The Arizona Cardinals lead the division at 3-2 but doesn't have the look of a runaway champion. The Seattle Seahawks are in shambles right now and the St. Louis Rams look like the worst team in the NFL. It is there for the taking and adding Houshmandzadeh to the Niners could put them over the top.

Rumors/stop spreadin' those...

I just saw T.J.and Chad as 2 of the top 10 "stars " that could be traded.
My thoughts are: Why is Chad Johnson still here? He’s a wreck. He does need a drink maybe 2. It might help with his hands and his routes.I don’t question his heart just wish the front office had a clue and traded him to the Redskins.How would you have liked another first rounder last year and (ok) a third rdr. this year?Carl Pickens is the only other disrespectful idiot that got rewarded like this.The Fonz thinks this guy has jumped the shark!! Please trade this guy.
         Who the heck do they think could replace T. J.? The draft won’t solve anything.The Bengals swing and miss again. 3 Wrs drafted not one catch. Ridiculous..This happens every fall in my nightmare that is being a Bengal fan.
         Benson looks like the real deal but they shouldn’t rule out gettin Beanie.Laurinaitis or Maulaluga sounds pretty good too.The Bengals couldn’t possibly mess up a top 5 pick could they?
