Razor I ask that same question yesterday. * And the answer I got is, we all appear to agree with Scooter... Only trade for a guy that can also help next year, or who's important in the development of the guys you'll be leaning on next year. * Which leaves an open question. As a 5W - 3L team does JL just stand pat at the trading deadline and develop the players already on the roster? TBD!
Make trades for players that will be around in 26 but only if the team we trade with will take picks from the 2027 draft. Using picks from 27 will cost the 49ers higher picks then if they used 26 picks. I feel very strongly that they need all of their 26 picks to complete/continue this rebuild. The 49ers are looking to sign Clelin Ferrell
The 9ers have officially signed Andre Dillard to the practice squad. The former 1st Rd draft pick was with the team during training camp, but was injured. The corresponding move to make room for Dillard was to waive OT Brandon Parker, probably means Dillard is fully healthy. * Here's a list of players the Niners worked out on Tuesday: Andrew Farmer Clelin Ferrell Kingsley Jonathan Casey Toohill
according to multiple reports, the San Francisco 49ers have acquired defensive end Keion White from the New England Patriots in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round draft pick. As part of the deal, the 49ers also receive a 2026 seventh-round selection.
Instant grade: Patriots trade Keion White to 49ers
Brian Hines: After being a healthy scratch Sunday, the writing was on the wall for Keion White in New England. White often flashed as an interior rusher, but the additions of Milton Williams and several quality rotational players (Tonga, Durden, Farmer) led to him moving to the edge where things never developed. | Grade: C
Pat Lane: You had no choice but to trade the massively disappointing White, but it’s hard to give the Patriots a passing grade when they’re getting almost nothing back in return. Hopefully, he can do better with a change of scenery, but he was essentially useless against the pass and the run in New England. | Grade: D
Matt St. Jean: Keion White flashed in New England, but he never figured out how to be an impact pass rusher from the edge or a decent run defender at any spot on the line. You hate to lose a player with his pedigree for that little of a return, but it’s a fair value for what he’s produced on the field. | Grade: C
A second-round pick by the Patriots in 2021, White’s career with the club ends with 38 in-game appearances and six total sacks.
I like the trade. White is signed for 2026 at slightly above Vet minimum and had 5 sacks last year.
Hoping Kocurek and Saleh can make White productive like Huff. YGM is definitely off next year with this signing and we will probably invest another 1st round pick on DL next year.
Sometimes the best defense is a really good offense. KS and Saleh were just as bad at their jobs as the players were at their job. Total team beatdown.
The 49ers simply were not ready to play last Sunday. Sure, the team is in flux due to injuries. But they came out against the Texans with lack of attitude and fire. They have to show that the stinker last Sunday was just a glitch and not a trend going forward.
Not sure how accurate Graziano's been but he put this out there:
Dan Graziano is confident that the 49ers are not done making trades despite trading for Keion White yesterday:
“I know they’ve been calling around about pass-rush help (they got some Tuesday with White), and they’ve been known to be active and creative at the deadline in past years. I’m feeling confident they’ll do something beyond what they’ve already done.”
If Aiyuk is off the team in 2026, that frees 30 million, so we don't have to avoid trading for star talent now because of their potential contract. If it just costs a second rounder, Why not, What better use for a second rounder? Gambling on a rookie draft pick?
Big if. They need to find someone willing to take his contract before 1 April to avoid paying his option bonus. Good luck with that. Cutting him won't help, it's fully guaranteed now.
The 9ers waived Moss hoping to get him back through waivers and back to their PS. OL Ben Bartch, the starting L-OG, is set to return from injured reserve with his practice window opening Wed. OL Spencer Burford has versatility to play inside and outside is also back in practice after spending the 1st 8 weeks on IR. Their return makes Moss more expendable.
It is being reported that the 7th round pick that the 49ers received in the White trade is conditional. If White is active for 7 or more games the pick goes back to the Pats
And Moody blues is on the Bears PS. Santos is their guy. Moody was killing it in Michigan. He found out that mental aspect in the pros is a different animal. But, who knows, maybe at some point Harbaugh will bring him to SoCal.
According to some reports. Purdy looked good in practice. But the team may hold off on him playing Sunday because of the artificial turf. Im ok with that.
Coach, I remember the 49ers trying artificial turf back in the 70s. Renaldo Nehemiah went up for a pass and broke his leg when he came down. Heck, my all-time favorite RB Gale Sayers played in the mud pile at the original Kezar stadium and ran wild against the 49ers. Though I hated to see the 49ers lose that game, no one can convince that football needs artificial turf to play on.
diptown, I got you, tough times. I saw the Lawrence Taylor hit on Theisman. I caught the life-changing hit that Jack Tatum put on Daryle Stingly in a freaking preseason game. I also saw the hit by Kermit Alexander on Sayers that eventually ended GSs career. Those were some hard football moments to swallow back in the day.
KEYS TO AN 9ER WEEK 9 VICTORY OVER THE NY GIANTS: * THE 9ER OFFENSE: 1) CMC must run the ball and the O-line must open running lanes against the Giant poor run defense, then sustain drives and score TD's, NOT field goals. * If CMC can establish the run, control the clock, score TD's and keep NY's offense on the bench, the 9ers win the game! 2) The O-line must protect QB Jones from the Giants elite pass rush duo of Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux. * * 9 QB Jones, will need time to complete enough passes to keep the 9er offense from becoming one dimensional. 3) With Giants RB Cam Skattebo injured, the 9er D must shut down his likely replacement, RB Tyrone Tracy. 4) The 9er D will need to contain the Giants rookie QB Jaxson Dart, who has shown flashes but remains inconsistent,
NYGs need a WR. And the 49ers need Pass Rusher.
ReplyDeleteThis is just me, but Jennings and a 5th rd pick for Thibodeaux would work for me.
AES,
DeleteI think that trade would be a steal for the 49ers. For that reason I can't see NY going for it

This is the Omenihu trade all over again.
DeleteRazor, exactly what I was thinking.
DeleteThink he plays Sunday?
DeleteGiven the injuries, yes
DeleteI like the trade. White is signed for 2026 at slightly above Vet minimum and had 5 sacks last year.

Agreed.
DeleteJordan Schultz reports that the team is signing Clelin Ferrell to the practice squad.
ReplyDeleteQuality depth player.
DeleteLooking like these position groups are the strongest in the '26 draft:
ReplyDelete• D-Line
• LB
• WR

Lombardi said pretty much the same thing
DeleteIf there is another trade I don't expect it to happen before Sunday's game.
DeleteI believe that there will be another trade soon and Jennings may be part of it.
DeleteThis graph shows just how insane the cost for injured players are for the 9er: $96,278,199 Mil
ReplyDeletehttps://overthecap.com/apy-on-injured-reserve
Ji'Ayir Brown probably won't see much playing time if the look on Saleh's face during last weeks game is any indication.

ReplyDeleteGreg Scruggs, 49ers assistant D-line coach talking to White after his first practice rep as a Niner.
ReplyDelete"...Piñeiro was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Month..."
ReplyDeleteMoody always had me, Shakin' but with Eddie it's, Two Tickets To Paradise!
DeleteAnd Moody blues is on the Bears PS. Santos is their guy. Moody was killing it in Michigan. He found out that mental aspect in the pros is a different animal. But, who knows, maybe at some point Harbaugh will bring him to SoCal.
ReplyDeletePressure%, NFL interior pass rushers (PFF):
ReplyDelete1. Yetur Gross-Matos, 49ers: 23.4%
2. Nnamdi Madubuike, Ravens: 20.3%
3. Jeffery Simmons, Titans: 19.3%
According to some reports. Purdy looked good in practice. But the team may hold off on him playing Sunday because of the artificial turf. Im ok with that.
ReplyDeleteI bet they would love to hold off playing everyone on that Giants/Jets turf
DeleteCoach, I remember the 49ers trying artificial turf back in the 70s. Renaldo Nehemiah went up for a pass and broke his leg when he came down. Heck, my all-time favorite RB Gale Sayers played in the mud pile at the original Kezar stadium and ran wild against the 49ers. Though I hated to see the 49ers lose that game, no one can convince that football needs artificial turf to play on.
ReplyDeleteRenaldo Nehemiah haven't heard that name in a long time, and Gale Sayers was fun to watch.
DeleteI still remember that hit @ MINN- that, along w Dickie Thon getting beaned, and Theisman injury, probably some of the worst "hits" I have ever seen
Deletediptown,
DeleteI got you, tough times.
I saw the Lawrence Taylor hit on Theisman. I caught the life-changing hit that Jack Tatum put on Daryle Stingly in a freaking preseason game. I also saw the hit by Kermit Alexander on Sayers that eventually ended GSs career. Those were some hard football moments to swallow back in the day.
Sayers was Baryshnikov on the football field. I was broken hearted when he tore-up his knee. Ironically, against the 49ers.
ReplyDeleteDrew Moss claimed by Titans.
ReplyDeleteNumbers game. Too many OL. Think this is the most they ever carried, 10 on their 53 man roster.
DeleteKEYS TO AN 9ER WEEK 9 VICTORY OVER THE NY GIANTS:
