49ers Weigh Trade Moves Amid Championship Questions
The 7-1 San Francisco 49ers lead the NFC West, but questions remain about whether their roster is strong enough to contend for a championship. After a recent win over Las Vegas, the team has reacquired defensive tackle DeForest Buckner and could still pursue help at wide receiver or in the secondary before the trade deadline. Mike Evans remains a concern as the 49ers take a cautious approach to his Achilles tendinitis; Deebo Samuel and Christian Kirk have also been sidelined. Jordan Watkins’ breakout against the Raiders gives the team an in-house option, while Josh Downs and Cameron Jordan have been floated as possible trade targets. San Francisco must weigh strengthening its established core against uncertainty about its title chances.
