The 49ers have a big decision to make between now and next Tuesday.
Will general manager John Lynch make a big trade move to help an injury-ravaged roster before the Nov. 5 deadline? Or will they hold out hope that the eventual return of running back Christian McCaffrey and linebacker Dre Greenlaw will be enough to push the 49ers back to the top of the NFC?
49ers fans were asked to weigh in this weekend.
When 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 inspiration” came in a close second with 41.4% of the votes.
Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan have made notable trade deadline deals in recent years, headlined by Emmanuel Sanders (2019), McCaffrey (2022), Chase Young and Randy Gregory (2023). I’ve been there.
Time will tell if Lynch and Shanahan can sign new contracts and help the 49ers make the playoffs.
