Former 49ers exec says to keep an eye out on trade for familiar face

The San Francisco 49ers are heading into Week 7 with a 4-2 record, coming off a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last weekend.

At 4-2, the 49ers are leading the division, but there are more questions than answers after it was revealed that star linebacker Fred Warner had dislocated and broken his ankle, effectively ending his season.

San Francisco was already down star pass rusher Nick Bosa, who tore his ACL earlier in the year, and now loses their other most important defensive player, who had been playing at a high level before the ankle injury.

The two injuries have raised the question whether the 49ers should be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline, with some looking to keep pushing with a 4-2 record and others looking to recoup some draft capital in a “reset” year.
