Thibo/Chubb/Phillips/other scraps from bad teams aren't going to come in and save the season. We need someone who's at least 80% as good as Bosa and the two players I mentioned above fit the bill.
My preference:
Trey Hendrikson
don't think Hunter is an option,... he's contracted through 2026, as you said, and the 49ers already have their 2026 Edge rushers: Bosa, Huff, Williams,

Danielle Hunter is signed through 2026, not just this season (Texans specifically signed him to a one-year extension this past offseason). He would be due $22.6M in 2026 from a team that trades for him if I'm understanding it correctly. Not sure if that's fully guaranteed.
yeah, those 22,6 are fully guaranreed,... so niners are not paying another edge +$20M having Bosa, Huff and Williams under contract
but the Bengals didn't want to extend Hendrikson, even though he asked for it or a trade,... Bengals just increased his salary for this year hoping to have a good run,... this is not going to happen, Bengals' season is over and he'll be a FA after this season,... Bengals will get nothing unless thwy trade him
no one is going to give a first for one half-season hire,... neither a 2nd, I think,... I see more something like a 3rd and a 4th,... and I would do it if we start 6-0 or 5-1,... no doubt
last time I read about it, they were assigning another 3 4ths and a 5th to the 9ers for next year's draft
This is the way... If we are 6-0 or 5-1 you buy. If we are 3-3 then you probably sell it all imo.
There will be plenty of money to even extend Hendrickson if you want to.
Lots of money frees up because Trent will be gone next year and mcaffrey. You could free up even more of you trade yuk.
They actually aren't in that bad of shape cap wise and you could make a big splash on one of these guys and get them long term.
