With Nick Bosa out for the year with a torn ACL, and Bryce Huff and Yetur Gross-Matos nursing injuries of their own, the San Francisco 49ers were clearly going to be buyers in the pass-rush department ahead of next week's trade deadline.
And while they didn't bring in one of the more high-profile names Niners fans may have wanted, they still added a solid player on Tuesday in a low-risk, high-reward kind of a deal with the New England Patriots, acquiring third-year edge rusher Keion White and a 2026 conditional seventh-round pick while sending just a 2026 sixth-round selection back to Foxborough.
