San Francisco 49ers Pursue Trades with Patriots Ahead of NFL Deadline

San Francisco Eyes Possible Trades with Patriots as Deadline Looms

Hey there, 49ers fans! If you’re keeping track of the NFL’s trade buzz, we’ve got some interesting news coming out of San Francisco. With the 2024 NFL trade deadline just around the corner, the 49ers are reportedly interested in snagging two players from the New England Patriots. It’s been a rough ride this season, and the injury bug has hit hard, especially at defensive tackle and wide receiver positions.

Injuries Are Shaking Things Up

Following tough news that defensive tackle Javon Hargrave (triceps) and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) are out for the rest of the season, the 49ers’ needs are becoming even clearer. The pressure’s on for San Francisco to find someone who can step in and contribute. According to the latest reports, the team is eyeing Davon Godchaux, a run-stuffing interior defensive lineman, along with former Niner Kendrick Bourne, who’s back on the radar.

The Report Details

The buzz comes from insider Dianna Russini, who suggested that the 49ers could be making a call to the Pats to see what’s cooking. She even mentioned some familiar faces from the past like DeForest Buckner of the Colts and D.J. Jones from the Broncos, but it looks like those two might be less likely to move teams in the near future.

Tackling the Run Defense

Let’s talk about Godchaux for a second—he’s known as one of the best in the league when it comes to stopping the run, and that’s something the Niners have struggled with lately. Adding him could be a game-changer and help solidify San Francisco’s defensive line.

Bourne’s Potential Return

Now onto Kendrick Bourne. This guy has history with the 49ers; he was originally signed as an undrafted free agent back in 2017 and really made a name for himself. He moved to the Patriots in 2021 and has had a rollercoaster ride since. He even started the 2024 season on the physically unable to perform list after tearing his ACL last year. Since his return, Bourne’s seen some action, with four catches for 29 yards. Not exactly eye-popping stats, but having a familiar face back could energize the squad.

Trade Deadline Pressure

With the trade deadline marking November 5 on the calendar, the 49ers have a lot to figure out in a short amount of time. Although not much looks promising for Buckner and Jones making a switch, Godchaux and Bourne remain prime targets as San Francisco looks to fortify areas that have been sorely lacking.

Looking Ahead

While San Francisco gears up for a critical game against the Dallas Cowboys on “Sunday Night Football”, it seems like the front office is keeping one eye on finding some reinforcements to keep them competitive in the NFC West. A couple of smart moves before the deadline could really shift things in favor of the 49ers.

There’s a lot of excitement swirling around the Bay, and we’ll be keeping a close watch to see if the 49ers make waves or just give a nod to nostalgia with potential trades. Whatever happens, it’ll definitely be a story to follow!
