5 sneaky trades John Lynch could pull off to cement 49ers’ Super Bowl chances

Zane Gelphman of Niner Noise outlines five potential trade targets for San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch ahead of the November 10 trade deadline. Despite the team opening the season with four straight wins, Gelphman argues that acquiring additional talent could solidify San Francisco as a top Super Bowl contender.

The proposed trade targets include defensive tackle Daron Payne, wide receiver Quentin Johnston, and edge rushers Za'Darius Smith, Khalil Mack, and Maxx Crosby. Gelphman suggests these moves would address key injury vulnerabilities along the defensive line and add depth to the receiving corps.
