The Athletic’s Jonathan Jones says San Francisco could still make moves, and Sportsnaut outlines five realistic trade targets: slot‑ready Josh Downs (Colts), former first‑round pick Quentin Johnston (Chargers), former 49er Jauan Jennings (Vikings), veteran 1,000‑yard man Calvin Ridley (Titans), and seasoned receiver Chris Godwin (Buccaneers).

The Miami Dolphins claim former Bears edge rusher Jamree Kromah off waivers, adding him to the 53‑man roster, and simultaneously waive Robert Beal, Jr. Kromah, an undrafted 2024 free agent who spent 2025 on Chicago’s practice squad, appeared in two games this season with two tackles. Beal, a recent addition from the 49ers, recorded one tackle in two appearances for Miami. Kromah joins Chop Robinson, Josh Uche, Malik Herring and Rodney McGraw as the Dolphins’ edge‑rush depth ahead of Sunday’s 4:25 p.m. clash with the New England Patriots.
The Indianapolis Colts have turned their mid‑season overhaul into a full franchise rebuild and are now actively seeking to trade star running back Jonathan Taylor before the Nov. 10 deadline. Reports from ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport say multiple contenders—including the New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings and Denver Broncos—are in talks. Taylor, 27, carries a $15 million signing bonus and contracts through 2028 ($15 M in 2027, $9.46 M in 2028), making him a prime asset. Indianapolis aims to clear cap space and fetch a future second‑round pick plus late‑round selections, following recent moves that sent guard Quenton Nelson to Seattle and DT DeForest Buckner to San Francisco.
A new SB Nation Reacts poll shows 94% of fans expect the Seattle Seahawks to win Monday night’s primetime clash against the Chicago Bears, with most predicting a 9‑16 point margin. After a dominant 20‑3 win over the Chiefs, Seattle sits two games behind the 49ers in the NFC West and aims to keep the momentum despite missing key receivers Rashid Shaheed and Zach Charbonnet, and several injuries on the line. The Bears, led by QB Caleb Williams and a top‑10 offense, have won four of their last five and could keep the game close. The Seahawks’ defense, fresh from a four‑sack, four‑turnover performance, will need to contain Williams and D’Andre Swift as Seattle leans on Sam Darnold’s passing game.
The 49ers are building a reputation for keeping doors open to former players, as defensive tackle DeForest Buckner rejoins the team after stints with the Chicago Bears and a brief free‑agency saga.

While some departures—like Greenlaw’s short stint in Denver and Samuel’s trade to Washington—ended in frustration, the players’ returns suggest the organization offers a better fit than rival teams. The article argues that this trend bolsters locker‑room morale and offers a recruiting edge for rookies and free agents.
The San Francisco 49ers are being linked to a trade for Jets wideout Garrett Wilson as the NFL deadline looms. Wilson, 26, has 444 yards and three touchdowns on 51 targets this season and is under a four‑year, $130 million extension through 2030. A deal would give San Francisco a prime receiving option to boost an offense that averages just over 200 passing yards per game, but would likely demand hefty draft capital and salary‑cap space. The Jets, mired in a disappointing start, have not confirmed Wilson’s availability, though rumors persist that a move could help them rebuild.
With the trade deadline looming, 49ers wideout De'Shaun Stribling's fate may be out of his hands.
