49ers reportedly could 'make a run' at a trade for Colts Pro Bowl DT
ESPN insiders said Indianapolis could seek draft capital by moving the three-time Pro Bowler, who is in the final year of his contract.
- On October 25, NFL insiders Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport reported the San Francisco 49ers may pursue a trade for Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle DeForest Buckner ahead of the November 10 deadline.
- The Indianapolis Colts recently fired general manager Chris Ballard on Monday in what CEO Carlie Irsay-Gordon called "a deliberate decision" that does not affect the team's goals for this season.
- San Francisco drafted Buckner with the 7th pick in the 2016 NFL Draft before trading him to Indianapolis in 2020; now in the final year of his contract, Buckner is owed the remainder of his $13 million base salary this season.
- Buckner recently expressed frustration, telling reporters he is "sick and tired of the same song and dance," while running back Jonathan Taylor also faces trade speculation with the team at 2-5.
- With Indianapolis lacking a first-round pick in next year's NFL Draft, the team is likely to prioritize acquiring draft capital now; trading veteran assets before the November 10 deadline could help replenish resources for the next general manager.
