New England Patriots Trade Safety, Defensive End for 2026 Draft Picks, ESPN Reports
- A week before Nov. 4, the Patriots traded White and a 2026 seventh-round pick to the 49ers for a 2026 sixth-round pick.
- Patriots coaches concluded White had a diminished role after he lost his starting spot to veteran K'Lavon Chaisson and was inactive in last week's win, with evaluators flagging undisciplined play and disappointing production.
- Stat lines show White compiled 123 snaps in five games with no sacks or quarterback hits, and Pro Football Focus tracked one sack in his last 20 games with three pressures on 76 pass-rush snaps.
- The Patriots' edge rotation now features K'Lavon Chaisson, Harold Landry III, Anfernee Jennings, Elijah Ponder and Caleb Murphy, while New England plans to call up Robert Beal and William Bradley-King and retain rookie Bradyn Swinson.
- Facing injuries and weak pass-rush metrics, the San Francisco 49ers added White as an affordable, low-risk option signed for this year and next year, with more defensive-line help possible.
