Before Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan does not believe the team will make a significant acquisition.
“Those guys talk through everything, so there’s always a chance,” Shanahan said in a conference call with Bay Area media on Monday
afternoon. “If we did, I’d be shocked. Not all trades are as simple as they appear to be. For this reason, I believe that while there is a lot

“I am aware that Von is an excellent player, and he will undoubtedly assist them.”
Associated: Jimmy G, 49ers’ performance against the Bears relieves pressure temporarily
Since Shanahan and general manager John Lynch assumed leadership of the 49ers five seasons ago, the team has made two
noteworthy trade deadline transactions.
Jimmy Garoppolo, the quarterback, was acquired by the 49ers in 2017 in exchange for a second-round draft pick from the New
England Patriots. In a move that helped the 49ers win the NFC West and go to the Super Bowl, wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders was
acquired by the team from the Denver Broncos two years later.
