49ers Could Reunite With Pro Bowl Defender After Front Office Shakeup
The San Francisco 49ers are being urged to reunite with Indianapolis Colts star defensive tackle DeForest Buckner.
The San Francisco 49ers, currently enjoying a 5-0 start to their season, are reportedly considering reuniting with Pro Bowl defensive tackle DeForest Buckner, a former member of the team. According to a recent report by NBC Sports' Matt Maiocco, the 49ers, who have already utilized 15 different defensive linemen due to injuries, could benefit greatly from bringing back the three-time Pro Bowler.
Buckner, who has posted an impressive four sacks in six games so far this season, along with 26 combined tackles, would be a valuable addition to the 49ers' defense. With the Colts set to be prime sellers ahead of the trade deadline and recently firing their general manager, there is a chance that Buckner could become available.
If the 49ers can acquire him, they would have another star defensive tackle to work with, which could significantly improve their chances of winning the Super Bowl.
