First, Michael Irvin. Now, Jerry Rice.
Hall of Fame wide receivers want the 49ers to swing for the fences and trade for Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown.
"If you got a player like that, that you can get," Rice said Monday on 95.7 The Game. "That can really add to the offense of the San Francisco 49ers where you let those guys go play, I think you have to go for it."

Rice's comments come a few days after Irvin said pairing Brown with 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan "would be insane."
Brown finds himself in the middle of trade rumors after reportedly getting into a heated exchange with a teammate and skipping practices ahead of the Steelers' season finale, which he also missed.
In order to acquire Brown, the 49ers likely would have to part with a sizable package as Pittsburgh reportedly wants a first-round draft pick or "multiple high picks."
