49ers Eye Trade for Broncos' Star Cornerback Surtain

San Francisco considers offering 2024 first-round pick and more for the two-time Pro Bowler to bolster their secondary.

The San Francisco 49ers are reportedly considering a trade for Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II, offering their 2024 first-round pick and additional assets.
Surtain, a two-time Pro Bowler at only 23 years old, is seen as a significant upgrade for the 49ers' secondary, potentially pairing with Charvarius Ward.
The Broncos, over the salary cap, face decisions on Surtain's future, including a potential $18.65 million fifth-year option or a long-term extension.
Denver's offseason moves, including the future of quarterback Russell Wilson, could impact their ability to retain Surtain.
Trading Surtain could help the Broncos address other needs, such as quarterback, given their limited draft picks and salary cap situation.
