Overview
- The 49ers explored acquiring edge rusher Jermaine Johnson before the NFL trade deadline, per SNY’s Connor Hughes.
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported the Jets sought a second-round pick for Johnson, and he was expected to stay in New York.
- Jordan Schultz reported the Bears and 49ers pursued Johnson, but Chicago instead traded for Joe Tryon-Shoyinka while San Francisco stood pat.
- San Francisco’s only in-season deal remained last week’s trade for Keion White, with Clelin Ferrell added to the practice squad for depth.
- The push for help followed season-ending ACL injuries to Nick Bosa and rookie Mykel Williams and an IR stint for Yetur Gross-Matos.
