San Fran has a month before the trade deadline, so the team should be exploring its options until then.<\/p>\n<p>One possible option for San Fran in the eyes of Sports Illustrated&#8217;s Matt Verderame is Miami Dolphins edge rusher Jaelan Phillips. Verderame proposes this trade for the two teams ahead of the deadline:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>49ers get: EDGE Jaelan Phillips<\/li>\n<li>Dolphins get: Conditional 5th-round pick<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;Phillips is still working his way back from significant injuries the past few seasons, but the Dolphins have trusted him enough to play 63% of the defensive snaps this season,&#8221; Verderame wrote. &#8220;At 26, there\u2019s a strong possibility that Phillips can regain his top form in a month or two. The 49ers need an immediate impact player now, but at 3\u20131, they seem like a good bet to make the postseason.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Phillips showed a ton of promise over his first three years in the NFL, totaling 22 of his 23 career sacks in that span.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the 26-year-old edge rusher has been marred by injury the past two seasons after suffering an Achilles tear and a torn ACL in back-to-back years.<\/p>\n<p>Phillips hasn&#8217;t tallied a sack yet this season, but he&#8217;s also in his first year back from the aforementioned torn ACL. It&#8217;s reasonable to suspect he will continue to round into form as the year progresses.<\/p>\n<p>Phillips would be a good buy-low candidate for the Niners. He won&#8217;t completely fill Bosa&#8217;s shoes, but he has the potential to be the kind of difference-maker San Fran&#8217;s defense needs to get through the rest of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>The former first-round pick will be a free agent in 2026, but getting him for the kind of pick Verderame suggests would lessen the blow if Phillips doesn&#8217;t come back next year.<\/p>\n<h2>More NFL News<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The San Francisco 49ers need to address the edge rusher position in the wake of Nick Bosa&#8217;s season-ending injury.
