The two Bay Area teams picked up some help at the quarterback position via trades on Monday (Tuesday, PHL time).
The Oakland Raiders announced that they gave the Seattle Seahawks a fifth-round draft pick in 2014 and a conditional undisclosed draft pick in 2015 for quarterback Matt Flynn.
The Raiders are also nearing a deal to send quarterback Carson Palmer to the Arizona Cardinals, according to multiple reports. The Raiders would get a late-round draft choice from the Cardinals for Palmer.
Flynn is entering his sixth NFL season. In two career starts, he completed 55 of 81 passes for 731 yards with nine touchdowns and two interceptions.
Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers acquired quarterback Colt McCoy from the Cleveland Browns in exchange for two undisclosed picks in this month's NFL Draft.
McCoy gives the 49ers the mobile backup to starter Colin Kaepernick they have been seeking since dealing Alex Smith to the Kansas City Chiefs last month.
McCoy started 13 games for the Browns in 2011, but he played in just three games in 2012, completing nine of 17 passes. - Reuters
