The San Francisco 49ers suffered arguably their biggest injury of the season when Nick Bosa tore his ACL in Week 3’s win over the Arizona Cardinals<\/a>. Despite a seemingly endless barrage of ailments, the team currently sits at 3-0 and should have quarterback Brock Purdy back in the lineup this week. Kyle Shanahan is a fantastic coach who knows how to get the most out of his talent, but even he knows this team could use another edge rusher.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview, Shanahan spoke about trying to find a trade partner following the Nick Bosa injury.<\/p>\n

“There’s got to be trade options that make sense for you and another team, but you can’t just do that stuff just do it,” Shanahan said<\/a>. This shows the 49ers are interested in finding outside help, and looking across the league, one of the best fits is New York Giants edge defender Kayvon Thibodeaux.<\/p>\n

Giants, 49ers Could Agree to Kayvon Thibodeaux Trade After Nick Bosa Injury<\/h2>\n

A first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft<\/a>, Kayvon Thibodeaux has looked like the odd man out on the New York Giants depth chart since the team selected Penn State’s Abdul Carter<\/a> back in April. With Carter complementing Thibodeaux and Brian Burns, New York entered the season with three starting-caliber pass rushers.<\/p>\n

There is no such thing as too many reliable pass rushers, and, in the short term, the Giants would be happy to carry three players who can make a difference at such an important position. However, great pass rushers cost money, and Thibodeaux will earn a large paycheck when he hits the open market. Seeing as Burns already received a massive extension and Carter is under team control for five seasons, the Giants should be willing to trade Thibodeaux if their season unravels.<\/p>\n

Perhaps rookie Jaxson Dart<\/a> can turn this team around, but the Giants are 0-3 and long shots for the postseason. Seeing as the 49ers desperately need a pass rusher following the Nick Bosa injury, the two sides should be able to work out a deal. Shanahan and the 49ers can get a good player to help them finally win that elusive Super Bowl, while the Giants receive a draft pick that can help rebuild a poor offensive line and keep Dart upright for the duration of his time with the team.<\/p>\n
