Could the San Francisco 49ers make another move in the near future?
San Francisco is coming off another Super Bowl appearance -- although it fell against the Kansas City Chiefs -- and seems to be in a good spot. The 49ers will have to figure out what to do with star receiver Brandon Aiyuk, but the roster is in a great spot overall.
The 49ers are loaded on both sides of the ball -- with or without Aiyuk -- and have the cap space needed to make another addition if they see fit.
Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox put together a list of 10 players who possibly could be on the move through trades this summer and called the 49ers a possible landing spot for Cleveland Browns All-Pro offensive tackle Jack Conklin.
"Browns right tackle Jack Conklin suffered a season-ending knee injury (torn ACL, MCL) in Week 1 of last season, but rookie Dawand Jones played extremely well in his stead—until he too was lost for the season with a knee injury," Knox said. "The Browns won't be eager to part with Conklin, who is under contract through the 2026 season. However, Jones' presence could force the Browns to at least listen to offers for the two-time first-team All-Pro.
"Trading Conklin would save just $3.1 million in 2024 cap space but would net Cleveland a fair return and open the door for Jones to start permanently. Conklin will only turn 30 in August and, if fully recovered, should command a high Day 3 draft pick from a tackle-needy team...With right tackle Colton McKivitz serving as a weak link on their offensive line, the 49ers could also have interest in Conklin if he becomes available. McKivitz received a two-year, $4.6 million extension this offseason but was also responsible for nine sacks allowed in 2023, according to PFF."
San Francisco is in a good spot, but if Conklin somehow actually becomes available, he could provide something the 49ers do need still.
