Unless we get a true #2 WR i don't really see the point. It takes WRs weeks to get accumulated with the offense and in sync with the QB so by that time we'd have Deebo and Robinson back. Then hopefully we get Stribling back later. I see the need but Watkins and Cowing needs to step up and produce.

I have watched a lot of broncos games. Lived in Denver for a long time.

Jeudy is fools gold. Can splash a play or two here and there.
avg blocker and takes plays off with lazy routes if he isnt getting the ball.
Never was impressed but he is talented.
Would be a gamble that isnt worth the reported 3/4rd they are asking.

I like the collection of young talent we have added the last 3 drafts. The kids are contributing and if you look at the roster, it's a nice blend of youth/vets. We also have been able to hit on middle/late round picks. I like what Raheem has been able to accomplish with this defense and we will have Bosa and other pieces coming back soon. I am a little concerned Evans will not make it through this long season and there's nothing there behind him. Deebo out, DeRob and Kirk.. ok. Nice to have Stribling later, but he's a rookie and he's been out for more than half the season. How much can he really contribute? I want a stud WR. Whether it's Wilson, Olave or even one of Eagles WR if available. Hey, Evans may not be here next year. Having this stud WR to go with the young and developing Strib, Piersall(still questionable for me) after Evans will be deadly for Brock and Shanahan. Go all in this year!

Would love the splash trade, I'm expecting the 9ers to pick up someone under the radar with one or two years left on their rookie contract.. status quo

I was never considering the London's or anyone in that tier. I agree on JJ and its not a minor move. He would fit like a glove and eclipses his 2026 production in one game here lol. Even if he is WR6 when everyone is healthy, he is a WR6 that can contribute in any game immediately. JJ and Mac are the obvious moves.

I don't even seen him as WR6. He played over Robinson/Watkins/cowing last year. He's a better WR than Deebo at this pt. Strib I have no clue about. Kid hasn't played.

Just seems to make sense. Fans will hate it, like they do most years…only to realize it turned into a decent helpful midseason trade lol.

Finding a good edge rusher is tough. The only ones available are usually over the hill. Mack is still productive but he's not as good as he used to be. We have no idea what kind of shape Joey Bosa is in. Certainly not in game shape. I wouldn't make a big trade for a WR. I doubt any team will be willing to part with a real difference maker. The 49ers will be getting a couple guys back in the 2nd half. Hopefully they'll be enough to provide some targets that will take the pressure off of Evans. Not sure about JJ. He hasn't done much this year but Kyle and Purdy are familiar with him and know how to use him. If they can bring him back with little cost then I'm okay with that. He may not be a difference maker but he can make those short first down catches.

As far as Jerry goes here's his money breakdown

Trading WR Jerry Jeudy

New Team Acquires
2026: $1.08M (gtd)
2027: $22.9M (non-gtd)#Browns Dead Cap
2026: $9.3M
2027: $25.4M

Jeudy has 8 catches from 15 targets so far this season.

— Spotrac (@spotrac) October 14, 2026

I mean basically a one yr rental because I don't see SF taking on $22M and I'm sure he would want a new deal with GTD cash. I can't toss out a 3rd or 4th for that.

For that money, regardless of him being a rental, I'd do a 4th. He'd bring a similar skill set that Pearsall was expected to bring, which would be a perfect compliment to Evans/Stribling/Deebo imo

Does this mean if we cut him after this season we owe him nothing in 2027?

So just $1.1M this season? I would do that for a 4th tbh I don't think that's a terrible trade.

A 4th for Jeudy and a 5th for Mack would be a home run by Lynch. We keep our 1st, 2nd and 3rd picks in a strong draft yet still go "all in" for a run. Win win.

I'm not big on Judy either, especially for a 4th (money picks for the 49ers)

Yeah, I like Jeudy (to a degree) but no way would I give up a 4th rounder for him as a half-year rental. Maybe if we planned on keeping him but certainly not at that salary and I'm not even sure where he fits when we are mostly healthy. 6th rounder at BEST. BTW, it's Jerry Jeudy. Cleveland's 3rd WR. CLEVELAND.

Why do people think Jeudy is worth a 4th? It will be his 3rd team in 7 yrs. Teams continue to draft his replacements. Juiced up stats on yr on a 3 team win with Winston chucking it up 50 times a game.

he doesn't block, he has s**t hands, he's the opposite of tough. Let someone else burn a 4th rd pick for a one yr rental. I'd rather have Josh downs if we're spending 4ths on one yr rental WRs

I mean that's kinda the case every year around this time…no true difference makers will be available to trade. Not unless it's a one yr rental that they have no intention to resign.

This is where the personnel department earns their paycheck and gets that Charles Omenihu, Keion White or Arden Key.

I think MIN would trade JJennings for a cheap price. I just don't think it'd be to an NFC contender that would make good use of him (SF). If the two are trade partners, I'm thinking MIN would want immediate help in return (not a draft pick).

That's a lot of writing and no player/compensation ideas

IMO not every position is equal in regards to midseason trades. WRs take time to develop chemistry with a QB and have confidence in the scheme (for him/kyle and the QB)…Like I've said there's not a ton of high end midseason WR trades where the incoming WR outperformed on their new team that same yr. The only real "success" was When cooper got moved for a 1st to Dallas.

IMO DL is a different animal…Rushing the passer is rushing the passer. Yes scheme is important, but overall the timeline for seeing the value of the move is quicker.

They shouldn't be breaking the bank for a WR imo. Not unless they view him as a long-term guy…SF has two young WRs on the roster that they spent up for (Ricky is 2027) and they have vets coming back. They need decent depth.

Mack makes a ton of sense to help them win now. He's a rental and shouldn't be costing you a ton. There will be instant returns there.

I'm sorry, but tossing names and random draft picks for compensation is meaningless to me. "I wouldn't go above a 4th rounder for X" - good for you, but is the player even available for a trade, or is (say) the dead cap hit to his old team such that they will never trade him? I especially dislike all those "journalists" who come out with clickbait:"The 49ers COULD/SHOULD target X" or "5 possible trade targets for SF". It's the equivalent of "5 possible supermodel dates for paulk205" or "paulk205 and supermodel X would be a great fit". Yes we would, but it's also highly, highly unlikely to happen

I can only speak about the strategy and philosophy the team should follow, and use actual trades it has done before as examples. I thought Emmanuel Sanders was an excellent trade for 2019. We were in a similar situation we are now - rather unexpectedly doing super well but needing additional weapons beyond Kittle and the wonderful running game. The CMC trade revitalised the team at a time we were very uneven. Both came in and contributed almost immediately, and didn't need to build "chemistry". They were just that talented. This is the kind of trade we should aim for, and forget about "draft capital". You don't throw open top bus parades for draft capital, but you do for championships.

We also shouldn't project about talented but unproven young players. Watkins and Cowing MIGHT be decent and COULD be developed. Perhaps next year or so - but what about now? Pearsall has done very little and is injured a lot. Sure, some of it was mishandling by the team, but he's been mostly unavailable. Anyway, he's out for the year. I loved the Stribling pick (and was in the minority, like in the case of Black) but who knows how much he can contribute even if he comes back fully healthy? He's a rookie. Jerry Frigging Rice was up and down as a rookie and he's only the GOAT.

An aging team that has unexpectedly stormed out of the gates and now has a potential path to a championship should reinforce success, not economise on "draft capital" or project that injured players (especially rookies) will come back to help on this path.

I agree. He would start immediately given our present situation. We have no idea how well some of the injured guys can play once they are healthy again. Minnesota knows all that, and with them looking like a potential playoff team right now, I see no chance they would deal him to us unless it gave them at least a strong rotational player in return. With our injury history, I don't know who that would be.

I can't see any team pounding the table to trade for him. Minn doesn't have a valuable asset that everyone wants. That's the problem with folks saying they won't move him to SF.

It's either SF or he doesn't get moved imo.

also I think they need to look in the mirror and realize they aren't a real 5-0 team with SB dreams.

NY where dem tweets at!!!!

Player for player trades don't really happen. He won't get moved if it's not to SF. No one is giving them anything for JJ.

have to give Johnny props as the last 3 draft classes has added 8 new significant contributors to the defense:

Green
Mustapha
Sigle
Height
Halton
Williams
Dugger
Stout

If he could only get better at the #1 pics!
