49ers pressured to trade for $64 million clutch player
The San Francisco 49ers could land an impressive talent.
The San Francisco 49ers, already a championship-contending team, are being urged to trade for $64 million defensive star Jessie Bates III from the Atlanta Falcons. According to ESPN's Seth Walder, the 49ers' trade options are dwindling as the offseason nears its end, but a defensive upgrade on the roster could still be achieved.
Bates, whose four-year, $64.02 million deal with the Falcons was a successful signing, would provide the 49ers with a high-caliber defensive talent as they aim to bolster their roster in time for the 2026 season.
