Overview
- San Francisco will send a 2026 sixth-round pick to New England and receive Keion White plus a 2026 seventh-rounder, according to multiple outlets.
- The trade is pending a physical before it becomes official, per reports.
- The move follows a season-ending ACL for Nick Bosa and hamstring setbacks to Bryce Huff and Yetur Gross-Matos, with the 49ers last in NFL pressure percentage.
- White, a 2023 second-rounder, produced five sacks and 16 quarterback hits in 2024 but was a healthy scratch this season under Mike Vrabel after limited impact.
- White is under contract through 2026 on his rookie deal, and the 49ers are signaling they may pursue further defensive-line help ahead of the deadline.
