Sure, here's a more detailed paraphrasing of the text:Amid the offseason uncertainty, the team checked in on the availability of the star wide receiver before this year's NFL draft.

However, the team had zero interest in trading him and immediately rebuffed San Francisco's inquiries, according to league sources who spoke to ESPN.

The 49ers were not the only team to check in on Jefferson.

Other teams also showed some level of interest, but the Vikings never considered moving the three-time Pro Bowler, and talks never progressed, according to sources.

These inquiries occurred before the Vikings signed Jefferson to a contract in June, making him the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history.

Inquiring teams thought they might be able to tempt Minnesota with attractive trade packages, but the Vikings were only interested in re-signing one of the league's top players.

San Francisco faces Jefferson and the Vikings on Sunday, and 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan knows what type of receiver his defense will be up against.

'There's not an angle he can't really run at -- at full speed and drop his weight,' Shanahan told reporters.

'He's also fearless in how he plays.

His hands are as good as anyone's.

From what I've heard from people who have been with him, they say he's one of the smartest players they've been with.

He's the full package.

' The Vikings signed Jefferson in June to a four-year, $140 million extension that includes $110 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN.

Less than three months later, the Niners responded by signing Aiyuk to a four-year, $120 million extension that includes $76 million guaranteed.

Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said at the NFL scouting combine in February that a Jefferson trade never crossed his mind -- even if it would help him trade up for a quarterback in the draft.

The 2022 Offensive Player of the Year, Jefferson entered this season averaging 98.

3 receiving yards per game -- the most in NFL history for any career span.

Jefferson, 25, set an NFL record for most receiving yards in the first three seasons of a career (4,825) and then eclipsed 1,000 yards last season despite missing seven games -- and parts of two others -- because of injuries.

His 1,074 yards in 2023 were the most ever by an NFL player who played 10 or fewer games in a season.
