Overview

  • GM John Lynch said on KNBR that San Francisco is having “good and productive” talks to acquire a pass rusher after Nick Bosa’s season-ending ACL tear.
  • Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports the 49ers are canvassing options and are expected to call Cincinnati to check on Hendrickson’s availability.
  • Trey Hendrickson has four sacks in five games after back-to-back 17.5-sack seasons and is playing on a reworked one-year deal reported around $29–30 million.
  • The Bengals are 2-3 with Joe Burrow sidelined by a toe injury and recently traded for Joe Flacco, leaving their deadline stance uncertain as inquiries increase.
  • Cost and fit remain key obstacles for San Francisco, with expected high draft compensation and age considerations, and other potential targets such as Bradley Chubb, Arden Key and Kingsley Enagbare are being discussed.
