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.
