The 49ers bring back DeForest Buckner in trade with the Colts, AP source says
The move gives San Francisco a proven pass rusher as Indianapolis continues a roster reset after two major trades Tuesday.
- On Tuesday, October 27, 2026, the Indianapolis Colts traded three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the San Francisco 49ers for a 2027 fourth-round draft pick.
- Following the firing of General Manager Chris Ballard last week after the team fell to 2-5, mounting frustration from a losing streak prompted the Colts to initiate a full rebuild.
- Earlier on Tuesday, the team also traded eight-time Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks for a 2027 third-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick.
- The Colts now hold five picks between rounds 2-4 in 2027, stockpiling draft capital to recover value lost in the 2025 trade for All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Jets.
- With the NFL trade deadline approaching November 10, speculation persists regarding other veterans, though the team has not yet moved running back Jonathan Taylor despite multi-team interest.
