Overview
- San Francisco acquired Keion White and a 2026 seventh-round pick from New England for a 2026 sixth-rounder, adding depth to a pass rush hit hard by injuries to Nick Bosa and Fred Warner.
- Kyle Shanahan said he expects White to be available as soon as Week 9 against the Giants, with Clelin Ferrell also signed to the practice squad as depth.
- John Lynch and the coaching staff described White as a long-term fit with interior rush upside, not a one-year stopgap.
- White acknowledged frustration over reduced snaps and an outside-focused role under Mike Vrabel in New England, saying he is most effective rushing inside.
- Reporters say the 49ers are still exploring edge help before Nov. 4, with interest tied to price; Dianna Russini reports Miami seeks at least a third-round pick for Jaelan Phillips, and other names like Matthew Judon are being discussed as possibilities.
