49ers Add Keion White, Bring Back Clelin Ferrell as Trade Deadline Nears

The low-cost additions reflect a push to shore up a depleted pass rush heading into the deadline.

Overview

  • San Francisco acquired DE Keion White from the Patriots in a 2026 pick swap, sending a sixth-rounder and receiving White plus a seventh-round pick.
  • Veteran DE Clelin Ferrell rejoined the organization on the practice squad, and Kyle Shanahan highlighted White’s ability to play outside and rush inside.
  • ESPN insiders report GM John Lynch remains active in trade discussions and could make additional moves before the Nov. 4 deadline.
  • Injuries to Nick Bosa and Fred Warner, along with multiple edge setbacks, have gutted the front seven, and the 49ers logged zero sacks in a 26-15 loss at Houston.
  • Shanahan said he would be very surprised if WR Jauan Jennings were traded, while QB Brock Purdy stayed limited in practice as Ricky Pearsall remained out.
