Injuries Reshape Trade Market; 49ers, Chargers Seek Edges

San Francisco lost star edge rusher Nick Bosa to a season‑ending torn ACL, reducing pressure and sacks and prompting the 49ers to be active before the Nov. 4 NFL trade deadline. The 49ers are exploring edge upgrades ranging from breakout Carl Granderson and Miami’s Jaylen Phillips to veterans such as Cam Jordan and potential target Trey Hendrickson, though Cincinnati’s high asking price and contract situation make Hendrickson uncertain. The Los Angeles Chargers’ immediate need has shifted — they are being mentioned as buyers to shore up the edge after Khalil Mack’s injury rather than primarily seeking a running back. The New York Jets (0‑3) could become aggressive sellers with running back Breece Hall emerging as a top trade chip. Front offices are weighing short‑term veteran stopgaps against preserving draft capital and cap flexibility as injuries reshape buyers and sellers ahead of the deadline.
