Multiple Teams Inquire About 49ers’ Fred Warner as Trade Seen Unlikely

The Giants are among the clubs making calls, with no indication from San Francisco that a move is planned.

Overview

  • Easton Butler of Packers Report says several teams have contacted the 49ers about Fred Warner’s availability, with the Giants among the callers.
  • Coverage characterizes a deal as unlikely given Warner’s status as a multi‑time All‑Pro and defensive cornerstone, and there has been no public signal from GM John Lynch to trade him.
  • Reporter Art Stapleton previously outlined a narrow scenario in which San Francisco might consider a move only if it somehow facilitated a reunion with linebacker Dre Greenlaw.
  • Yahoo Sports, citing NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, reports the Broncos are releasing Greenlaw, a development that could factor into such hypotheticals though the overall situation remains speculative.
  • Warner is expected to be fully healthy for the offseason after an October 12, 2025 ankle injury; he logged 51 tackles and multiple takeaways in six games before going down.
