Richard Sherman urges 49ers to trade for Vita Vea from Bucs

Summary

The San Francisco 49ers are off to a strong start in the 2026 season, maintaining their unbeaten record following a win against the Denver Broncos. Former linebacker Richard Sherman has suggested the team should pursue a trade for Vita Vea of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are currently struggling with an 0-4 record. Sherman believes Vea could bolster the 49ers' defensive line, which has been affected by injuries. He recommends inquiring about Vea's availability, potentially viewing him as a one-season rental to enhance the team's performance against the run.

What they're saying

"
The San Francisco 49ers have made a seriously impressive start to the 2026 season, after their victory against the Denver Broncos on Sunday maintained their unbeaten start to the year. With the Los Angeles Rams looking far from convincing, and the Seattle Seahawks just one win behind them in the standings, there is still room for the Niners to potentially add to their roster.
