San Francisco 49ers Rumor Claims They’re ‘Sniffing Around’ WR Trade Market: 5 Realistic Options Before Nov. 10
The 49ers, fresh off a DeForest Buckner acquisition, are reportedly scouting wide receiver help before the Nov. 10 deadline. The Athletic’s Jonathan Jones says San Francisco could still make moves, and Sportsnaut outlines five realistic trade targets: slot‑ready Josh Downs (Colts), former first‑round pick Quentin Johnston (Chargers), former 49er Jauan Jennings (Vikings), veteran 1,000‑yard man Calvin Ridley (Titans), and seasoned receiver Chris Godwin (Buccaneers). Each option offers a different cost and upside, from low‑price depth to potential impact playmakers, as the team aims to protect its NFC West lead amid looming threats from Seattle and the Rams.
Dolphins claim Jamree Kromah, waive Robert Beal
The Miami Dolphins claim former Bears edge rusher Jamree Kromah off waivers, adding him to the 53‑man roster, and simultaneously waive Robert Beal, Jr. Kromah, an undrafted 2024 free agent who spent 2025 on Chicago’s practice squad, appeared in two games this season with two tackles. Beal, a recent addition from the 49ers, recorded one tackle in two appearances for Miami. Kromah joins Chop Robinson, Josh Uche, Malik Herring and Rodney McGraw as the Dolphins’ edge‑rush depth ahead of Sunday’s 4:25 p.m. clash with the New England Patriots.
Colts reportedly open to trading Jonathan Taylor
The Indianapolis Colts have turned their mid‑season overhaul into a full franchise rebuild and are now actively seeking to trade star running back Jonathan Taylor before the Nov. 10 deadline. Reports from ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport say multiple contenders—including the New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings and Denver Broncos—are in talks. Taylor, 27, carries a $15 million signing bonus and contracts through 2028 ($15 M in 2027, $9.46 M in 2028), making him a prime asset. Indianapolis aims to clear cap space and fetch a future second‑round pick plus late‑round selections, following recent moves that sent guard Quenton Nelson to Seattle and DT DeForest Buckner to San Francisco.
Seahawks Reacts Survey results: Fans confident Seattle comes out on top over Bears
A new SB Nation Reacts poll shows 94% of fans expect the Seattle Seahawks to win Monday night’s primetime clash against the Chicago Bears, with most predicting a 9‑16 point margin. After a dominant 20‑3 win over the Chiefs, Seattle sits two games behind the 49ers in the NFC West and aims to keep the momentum despite missing key receivers Rashid Shaheed and Zach Charbonnet, and several injuries on the line. The Bears, led by QB Caleb Williams and a top‑10 offense, have won four of their last five and could keep the game close. The Seahawks’ defense, fresh from a four‑sack, four‑turnover performance, will need to contain Williams and D’Andre Swift as Seattle leans on Sam Darnold’s passing game.
DeForest Buckner joins growing list proving 49ers don’t burn bridges
The 49ers are building a reputation for keeping doors open to former players, as defensive tackle DeForest Buckner rejoins the team after stints with the Chicago Bears and a brief free‑agency saga. Buckner joins Dre Greenlaw, Deebo Samuel and (formerly) Kendrick Bourne as the fourth ex‑49er to return, underscoring a culture that values personalized support, modern resources and veteran leadership. While some departures—like Greenlaw’s short stint in Denver and Samuel’s trade to Washington—ended in frustration, the players’ returns suggest the organization offers a better fit than rival teams. The article argues that this trend bolsters locker‑room morale and offers a recruiting edge for rookies and free agents.
49ers Linked to Garrett Wilson Trade Ahead of Deadline
The San Francisco 49ers are being linked to a trade for Jets wideout Garrett Wilson as the NFL deadline looms. Wilson, 26, has 444 yards and three touchdowns on 51 targets this season and is under a four‑year, $130 million extension through 2030. A deal would give San Francisco a prime receiving option to boost an offense that averages just over 200 passing yards per game, but would likely demand hefty draft capital and salary‑cap space. The Jets, mired in a disappointing start, have not confirmed Wilson’s availability, though rumors persist that a move could help them rebuild.

Patriots Make $84 Million Defender Available For Trade
The New England Patriots have placed defensive tackle Christian Barmore on the trade block, according to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer. Barmore, a 2021 second‑round pick who signed an $84 million extension in 2024, has seen his snap count drop to just 42 percent this season, falling behind Milton Williams and Cory Durden. He posted six tackles, a forced fumble and three sacks in one start over six games. With a $17.1 million cap hit, a trade could clear up to $8 million this year and $41 million over two seasons. The Giants, Jaguars, and Vikings are reportedly interested, while recent moves like Jeffery Simmons to Chicago and DeForest Buckner to San Francisco signal an active market for interior linemen.
