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.",
