49ers’ John Lynch scouts market ahead of NFL trade deadline: ‘Talking to other GMs’

The San Francisco 49ers, undefeated through their first four games, are already positioning themselves to strengthen their roster before the November 10 trade deadline. General manager John Lynch confirmed the team remains actively engaged in evaluating potential moves, including scouting college talent and maintaining open conversations with other general managers.

Despite a strong start—including a surprising Week 1 upset over the Super Bowl favorite Los Angeles Rams—the 49ers have faced early-season injuries that could impact key areas. Wide receiver Mike Evans played through a rib injury in Week 4, while Ricky Pearsall was lost for the season after knee surgery.

On defense, Nick Bosa is recovering from a calf issue, and Mykel Williams is set to return from an ACL tear this weekend, though the unit could still benefit from additional depth at the defensive line. Lynch’s focus on the wide receiver room and defensive line suggests targeted improvements ahead, even as the team continues its impressive win streak.
