A look back at some of the 49ers’ biggest midseason trades under Kyle Shanahan
The San Francisco 49ers have a knack for making blockbuster trades midseason.

Speculating when a player will return from an injury is always difficult. That level of difficulty increases tenfold when we’re talking about the San Francisco 49ers.
