Should the 49ers make a move before the NFL trade deadline on November 5th? Fans agree – NBC Sports Bay Area and California

The 49ers have a big decision to make by next Tuesday.

Will general manager John Lynch make a big trade before the Nov. 5 deadline to help an injury-ravaged roster? Or will he hope that the returns of running back Christian McCaffrey and linebacker Dre Greenlaw are enough to get the 49ers back to the top of the NFC?

49ers fans were asked to voice their opinions this weekend.

Given three options, 43.4 percent of the 477 respondents on X, formerly Twitter, voted for “Make calls, don’t overpay.”

Do the 49ers need to make a big trade NOW?

“Yes, the team needs a spark” came in a close second with 41.4 percent of the vote.

Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan have made notable trade deadline deals in recent years, most notably Emmanuel Sanders (2019), McCaffrey (2022), and Chase Young and Randy Gregory (2023).

Time will tell if Lynch and Shanahan can strike another deal to move the needle and help the 49ers' playoff push.
