The San Francisco 49ers needed help at edge rusher at the 2025 NFL trade deadline, but they decided not to make a move for a New York Jet.

The best way to describe the San Francisco 49ers' loss to the Houston Texans is deflating. They had numerous chances to make a stand and keep the game competitive, but couldn't. Of all the failed plays they had, three of them heavily influenced the 49ers' loss to the Texans.

You saw the mayhem. The Colts traded two first-round picks for a cornerback who’s been living off his rookie-year reputation for the past four seasons. The Cowboys coughed up a first and a second-rounder for a good player who is almost certainly going to stage a highly publicized mid-summer holdout for a new contract.

The 49ers’ lone move was sending a sixth-round pick to New England on Oct. 28 for end/tackle Keion White, who was a second-round pick in 2024 but not considered a fit with the defensive scheme brought in by coach Mike Vrabel. The 49ers also got back a seventh-round pick in the deal.

The San Francisco 49ers have been linked to plenty of names before the trade deadline. Who have the called for and who is off of the table?

The NFL trade deadline brought about a flurry of action, with multiple star players unexpectedly being sent packing on Tuesday.
