The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday at 1 p.m. Pacific. Here are some players the 49ers might want to trade for.

1. New York Giants EDGE Azeez Ojulari

The 49ers have searched in vain for a bookend passer to pair with Nick Bosa since they drafted him in 2019. This offseason, they signed Leonard Floyd, who has essentially been just a factor for eight games. Last season, when the 49ers needed pass help, they traded for Chase Young at the deadline. This season, they could trade for Azeez Ojulari, who is on a terrible Giants team. If they lose to the Commanders this weekend, which is likely, they could trade away their best players. The 49ers should be interested. Ojulari is only 24 years old.

2. Cleveland Browns EDGE Za’Darius Smith

Smith is 32 years old, so he would be on short-term rental. And the Browns have new life in quarterback Jameis Winston, so they might not want to trade their best passer. But if they lose this weekend to the Chargers, they’ll be 2-7 and could be ready to face Smith. He would be a huge upgrade over Leonard Floyd.

3. DT Sebastian Joseph-Day of the Tennessee Titans

The 49ers could use a defensive tackle to replace Javon Hargrave, who is on injured reserve with a torn triceps. Joseph-Day played for the 49ers last season, so the coaching staff knows him well. And he would improve their run defense and overall depth.

4. Denver Broncos DT DJ Jones

The 49ers drafted Jones in 2017 and he was their starting tackle for years. In 2021, he signed with the Denver Broncos, who currently have a 5-3 record. They might not want to trade Jones. But he will be a free agent after this season, so the Broncos may want to get him some assets before he leaves. He is an exceptional run defender.
