Overview

• Lynch told KNBR he is having “good and productive” conversations about adding a defensive lineman and cautioned no single player will replace Bosa.
• The 4-1 49ers have six sacks through five games, with Bryce Huff accounting for three, and they have additional D-line injuries to Yetur Gross-Matos, Kalia Davis, and Alfred Collins.
• San Francisco has roughly $24 million in cap space and a recent record of in-season edge deals, positioning the team to act before the Nov. 4 deadline.
• No specific targets were named by the team, though multiple reports have linked potential options such as Trey Hendrickson depending on his availability and other clubs’ trajectories.
• Kyle Shanahan and Lynch emphasized seeking a piece that lifts the group without compromising future plans, framing any move as opportunistic rather than a one-for-one Bosa replacement.
