49ers eye potential trade for Jets edge rusher Will McDonald IV

The San Francisco 49ers are considering a move for Jets edge rusher Will McDonald IV ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline. McDonald, a 2023 first-round pick, has seen his playtime decrease with the arrival of Jets pass rusher David Bailey. The 49ers' edge rusher unit has struggled while waiting for Nick Bosa's recovery from a calf injury. Bosa, who missed five games, is projected to return after the bye week. Adding McDonald could strengthen the 49ers’ defense and provide depth if Bosa's condition worsens.
