The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday at 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Here are a few players the 49ers might want to trade for.

1. New York Giants EDGE Azeez Ojulari

Since drafting him in 2019, the 49ers have searched in vain for a bookend pass rusher for Nick Bosa. This offseason they signed Leonard Floyd, who was virtually a non-factor in eight games. When the 49ers needed pass rush help last season, they traded for Chase Young at the deadline. This season, they could trade for Azeez Ojulari, who is playing on a terrible Giants team. If they lose to the Commanders this weekend, which is likely, they could lose their best players. The 49ers should be interested. Ojulari is only 24 years old.

2. Cleveland Browns EDGE Za'Darius Smith

Smith is 32 years old, so he would be a short-term rental. And the Browns have new life thanks to quarterback Jameis Winston, so they may not want to trade their best pass rusher. But if they lose to the Chargers this weekend, they'll be 2-7 and might be ready to deal Smith. He would be a big improvement over Leonard Floyd.

3. Tennessee Titans DT Sebastian Joseph-Day

The 49ers could use a defensive tackle to replace Javon Hargrave, who is on injured reserve with a torn triceps. Joseph-Day played for the 49ers last season, so he is known to the coaching staff. And he would improve their run defense and overall depth.

4. Denver Broncos DT DJ Jones

The 49ers drafted Jones in 2017 and he was their starting player for years. In 2021, he signed with the Denver Broncos, who are currently 5-3. That's why they may not want to trade Jones. But he will be a free agent after this season, so the Broncos may want to acquire assets for him before he leaves. He is an outstanding run defender.
