DeForest Buckner is a good start, but can't be 49ers' only trade deadline move
After DeForest Buckner was acquired in a blockbuster trade, the 49ers still face a November 10 deadline with a need to do more than one deal. San Francisco is 6-1, but the article frames two uncertainties that could shape any Super Bowl push: the health of edge Nick Bosa and wide receiver Mike Evans. Bosa has not played—or practiced—since straining his calf before Week 3, while Evans missed time after Achilles tendinitis forced him out before halftime in the Week 6 win over Atlanta. The piece argues that with Buckner costing only a fourth-round pick, San Francisco can spend additional “chips” on insurance. It also cites potential interest in Jets receiver Garrett Wilson to pair with Brock Purdy, and notes the defense’s pass rush has shown cracks, including last week’s 11 blitzes and limited pressure on Michael Penix Jr.
