Back to the San Francisco 49ers Newsfeed

John Lynch has the perfect 49ers trade deadline gamble hiding in plain sight

The San Francisco 49ers have already brought in pass-rush help, though Keion White was acquired as a depth piece.

With that in mind, recent intel suggests the club may not be finished addressing this area of need.

Mysteriously tapped-in NFL insider "Rickey Scoops" has re-emerged following a brief hiatus. He's back to let the people know the Niners are "expected" to add a defensive lineman before the Nov. 4 trade deadline. The specific position San Francisco is scouring the market for isn't clear, but another perimeter defender would make sense.

Given the context, Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox identified the 49ers as a potential suitor for the Miami Dolphins' Jaelan Phillips.
