The announcement reverberated throughout the league, with many urging the team to explore trades to make up for the loss of their elite pass rusher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">While the 49ers could look at the trade market, San Francisco could look at free agents that they could bring in and not give up any draft picks. As a result, if the front office decides to go this route, there\u2019s one name they are urged to pursue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Bleacher Report\u2019s Moe Moton writes <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> that former New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys pass rusher Carl Lawson would be an ideal target to help replace the production of Bosa. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cInstead of paying a premium to acquire a pass-rusher from another club, the 49ers can consider signing Carl Lawson, who\u2019s also played under Saleh in New York,\u201d Moton wrote. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cIn 2022, with the Jets, Lawson registered\u00a026 pressures\u00a0and seven sacks in one of his most productive campaigns. Last year, in a rotational role with the Dallas Cowboys, he recorded 19 pressures and five sacks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThe 30-year-old pass-rusher may have more left in the tank to rush the passer. He could tag-team with [Bryce] Huff to absorb Bosa\u2019s snaps on the edge.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Would the 49ers Make a Trade to Replace Nick Bosa?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If the 49ers opt to pursue a trade, one of the top names circulating in the rumor mill is Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson. Hendrickson, who earned All-Pro honors last season, also led the NFL with 17.5 sacks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Adding to the intrigue, the Bengals appear likely to be without starting quarterback Joe Burrow for roughly three months. That situation makes it <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">difficult<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> to see Cincinnati thriving during that stretch with Burrow out, potentially opening the door for Hendrickson to <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">be traded<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2014if the asking price aligns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Still, Matt Barrows of The Athletic doesn\u2019t expect San Francisco to trade for Hendrickson, citing the path the front office chose in constructing the roster for the 2025 season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cTrey Hendrickson is an older, expensive player who turns 31 in December,\u201d\u00a0<\/span>Barrows said during an appearance on 95.7 The Game <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. \u201c[Trading for him] would run counter to everything the 49ers mapped out [for the season] back in January and February\u2026but situations change.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Can the 49ers Replace Nick Bosa?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After news broke that Nick Bosa\u2019s 2025 season is over, ESPN NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky pointed out that although the 49ers have some depth along the defensive line, none of the replacements can match the influence of the 27-year-old standout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cI\u2019d say one of the unanticipated bright spots has been the 49ers\u2019 defense this season with Robert Saleh coming back,\u201d\u00a0<\/span>Orlovsky said on the September 22 edition of \u201cNFL Live.\u201d <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> \u201cThey\u2019ve got depth with Mykel Williams, their first-round draft pick, and Bryce Huff, who they acquired from the Eagles\u2014good\u00a0players, but they\u2019re not Nick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cRight now, this defense is giving up just 16 points a game, third in the NFL, and about 160 yards passing per game, which is top five. This was a group that was ascending, and it\u2019s one of the reasons the 49ers are 3-0 and in first place. This is an enormous loss for this football team.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Eduardo Razo Eduardo Razo is a sports journalist covering the NFL for Heavy.com.
