Report: 49ers offering LB Michael Wilhoite in trade
"...the 28-year-old Wilhoite was a 16-game starter for San Francisco in 2014, notching 87 tackles, six passes defended and two picks."
"The club seeks a sixth- or seventh-round pick"
They have an embarrassment of riches at LB so this guy is no scrub. Yes, he's 28 but will we be able to find a LB in this draft in the 6th or 7th as good as Wilhoite? I would strike this deal with a quickness. When Willis was out, Wilhoite called the defensive signals.

Wilhoitte is a solid LB and filled in very well last year. Any LB depleted team would be getting a solid dude.

This guy is a real solid pro, if this is true I will be sorry to see him go… stepped up big-time during last year’s mess. Leaves it on the field every Sunday.

Sorry to see him go. Solid LB with a great work ethic. Somebody will get him for a steal…

He’s good! It’s just that Borland outplayed him a.d Willis and Bowman will be back. Some team is getting a great value trade for a 6th or 7th round pick.Fin4Ever, SICK, MrClean and 1 other person like this. -

It's a joke that this made national news. He's not an upgrade on Jason Trusnik, much less any starter spot.
-
I would rather see Jenkins,McCain, and Tripp get the snaps. I wouldn't mind if they relented and moved Jordan to OLB either.
-
Tom Brady was a 6th round pick and Donald Driver a 7th round pick. But how often does that happen? Most of the time a 6th or 7th round pick has a career for 3-4 years tops.

He's not an upgrade over Trusnik? How many 49ers games did you analyze to arrive at that opinion?Itsdahumidity likes this.

You serious, Clark?

Wanna take a guess which is which?
I get if you don't wanna trade a pick for him as I agree with you but he would def be an upgrade to Trusnik, may even be an upgrade to Misi. -
I've watched all the defensive snaps in a couple of 49ers games this year?
He's not an upgrade over any of our starting linebackers. He's not even the best back-up 49ers linebacker available this off-season, I'd rather they sign Dan Skuta. -
I think if San Francisco wanted to get the best deal possible over a very crowded Linebacker room then they should trade Patrick Willis to us. :)
-
Sounds like he's solid. He must have All- Pro potential. -
He would probably be an upgrade over the backup LB's the Dolphins have at this time. Yet the mere fact the 49er's are looking to trade him for a 6th or 7th round pick tells me he probably isn't someone who will likely come in an become a starter,even though the Dolphins have a BIG need at the LB position.
As a veteran backup and someone who should be able to step in if a starter goes down, I would have no problem with the Dolphins trading their 6th or 7th round pick for him.
