The NFL trade deadline is on November 2 this year. That’s the Tuesday ahead of Week 9. At 2-3, the 49ers look to right the ship after a three-game losing streak. The good news for San Francisco is they’re not facing MVP-caliber quarterbacks during the next two weeks.
The Niners opened up as five-point favorites (it’s down to 3-5) against the Colts for their Week 7 matchup. They should be favored on the road against rookie quarterback Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears, too.
It would be a disappointment if the 49ers weren’t 4-3 headed into a rematch against the Cardinals.
