The 49ers are seemingly never content on the defensive front. On Tuesday, general manager John Lynch went back to the well once more.
Less than two hours until the 4 p.m. ET NFL trade deadline, the 49ers sent a conditional third-round pick to the Commanders for edge rusher Chase Young. Young will now pair with Nick Bosa, while the Niners bring pressure inside with Arik Armstead and Javon Hargrave.
This season, San Francisco ranks ninth in pressure rate (25.0%) and is tied for 18th with 18 sacks. Of those sacks, Bosa and Hargrave are tied for the team lead with three apiece.
