Who won the DeForest Buckner trade? 49ers, Colts heading in different directions

The San Francisco 49ers have reacquired defensive tackle DeForest Buckner from the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round draft selection. This move brings the veteran back to the organization where he began his professional career, providing a boost to a defensive front that has struggled to generate consistent pressure this season.

Following a period of vocal frustration regarding the Colts' performance, Buckner joins a San Francisco roster that recently added Osa Odighizuwa and is preparing for the potential return of Nick Bosa. Indianapolis continues to shed veteran talent, having also traded offensive guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks on the same day.
