With the NFL trade deadline nearing, the 49ers could go out on the market to fetch a player who can help replace the production lost by Nick Bosa, who is out with his season-ending injury. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">So, who could San Francisco target? CBS Sports\u2019 Pete Prisco believes that Miami Dolphins veteran Bradley Chubb should be a target for general manager John Lynch. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cWith Bosa being out of that lineup, it\u2019s an entirely different team,\u201d <\/span>Prisco said on the October 7 edition of \u201cCBS Sports HQ.\u201d <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> \u201cAnd anybody you trade for is not replacing Nick Bosa. You\u2019re just not doing that. But why not go out and call the Miami Dolphins and say, \u2018Hey, look, you have extra pass rushers. What about Bradley Chubb?\u2019<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201c<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Does Bradley Chubb to the 49ers Make Sense?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Moreover, Prisco explained why the deal makes sense for both teams from a financial and asset perspective. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201c[Chubb is] on a three-year contract, but you can get out of it \u2014 it\u2019s not prohibitive to trade him,<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201c<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Prisco added. \u201cIt\u2019s not a big hit to your cap, so why not make a move and get assets?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Look, the Dolphins aren\u2019t going anywhere this year. If you trade for Bradley Chubb and give the Dolphins a draft pick or whatever, then they can stockpile for next year. So I think Bradley Chubb to the 49ers would make a lot of sense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The 29-year-old is off to a good start this season as he\u2019s recorded four sacks in five games for Miami. As a result, this deadline could be one where the Dolphins decide to take advantage of his value right now and sell high. <\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">49ers Ready to Replace Nick Bosa as a Group<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>During a September 25 appearance on KNBR <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, Lynch spoke about <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the possibility of<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> making a trade before the NFL\u2019s trade deadline on November 4.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cMy heart just goes out to him,<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201c<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Lynch said. \u201cHe puts so much into this. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> is his life\u2026\u00a0It\u2019s a crushing blow to our team, but that\u2019s what this sport is.\u00a0One player won\u2019t make up for\u00a0Nick Bosa, we\u2019ll have to do it collectivel<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">y\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cOf course we\u2019re always looking. That\u2019s our job\u2026 we\u2019re not afraid and we\u2019ve been effective in doing that. This is no different. I do think we\u2019re a deep group there, and that depth\u2019s going to be tested. We\u2019ll see what\u2019s out there at the appropriate time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As Lynch noted, replacing Bosa <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">was always going to<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> require a collective effort, with the younger players expected to elevate their game. Without Bosa, the 49ers\u2018 defense needed others to step up and fill the gap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Moreover, adding someone of the caliber of Chubb will ensure that the 49ers have the depth to replace Bosa\u2019s production by committee rather than swinging for the fences on one player. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Eduardo Razo Eduardo Razo is a sports journalist covering the NFL for Heavy.com.
