49ers consider trade for Khalil Mack amid strong start to season

Summary

The San Francisco 49ers are reportedly contemplating a trade for Los Angeles Chargers edge rusher Khalil Mack before the NFL deadline on November 10. With a 4-0 start, the 49ers are looking to strengthen their defense, particularly with injuries affecting their starting edge rushers. Mack, a former NFL Defensive Player of the Year, has had a strong performance this season, despite the Chargers' struggles. If Los Angeles decides to part ways with Mack, they could save significant cap space and potentially acquire a future draft pick in return.
