CBS Sports' Cody Benjamin thinks, if your mind is bold enough, you can imagine a four-team deal that sends Purdy to the Dolphins, and after lots of machinations, ends up with Kirk Cousins in San Francisco. The full terms of the wild proposal: 49ers get: QB Kirk Cousins (Falcons), 2026 second-round pick (Dolphins), 2026 third-round pick (Saints)

Mike Kadlick of Sports Illustrated has named the 49ers as one of the best potential trade destinations for Washington Commanders star wide receiver Terry McLaurin. He noted that making a move for McLaurin would help replace the loss of Deebo Samuel, who was traded by San Francisco to the Commanders earlier this offseason.

One of the many reasons the San Francisco 49ers weren't lethal on offense was because of Deebo Samuel. He was inefficient in practically every game. The impactful player who had the potential to create a home run play for the 49ers was gone.
