The\u00a0San Francisco 49ers\u2018 pass rush will be a major storyline over the next few months as the team looks to improve after recording only 20 sacks as a team. Although injury played a role in this low stat, it shows the Niners need depth.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the\u00a0Los Angeles Rams\u00a0traded for Myles Garrett, and the\u00a0Seattle Seahawks\u00a0have a relentless pass rush with head coach Mike Macdonald being the mastermind. As a result, the 49ers cannot fall behind with their two NFC West rivals.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On the June 2 edition of \u201c49ers Collective,\u201d\u00a049ers on SI reporter Grant Cohn floated that the team should consider trading for\u00a0Arizona Cardinals\u00a0veteran Josh Sweat as a cheaper alternative to\u00a0Las Vegas Raiders\u00a0star Maxx Crosby.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I would like to do, if they cannot get Maxx Crosby, if that is too expensive, and if the Raiders do not want to trade him, what about Josh Sweat? He is clearly available,\u201d Cohn said. \u201cI do not think it would take a first-round pick.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI do not think you would have to trade a player to get him. He plays that outside linebacker, on-ball position that Romello Height and Luke Gifford play. I mean, he would be better than them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moreover, Cohn believes that because the Cardinals are so far away from competing, Arizona wouldn\u2019t mind trading within the division if they get the right offer for him.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe Cardinals are years away from competing,\u201d Cohn added. \u201cDo they really care about making an NFC West team better? Like, they\u2019re going to win two games this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cardinals Unlikely to Make a Trade With 49ers<\/h2>\n

Last season with the Cardinals, Sweat played 540 total snaps,\u00a0leading to a 74.2 overall PFF defensive grade. Moreover, he generated 47 total pressures, 12 sacks, 29 hurries, 6 QB hits, and three forced fumbles. Meanwhile, against the run, he recorded 11 solo tackles.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Despite the Cardinals likely being one of the worst teams this season, former 49ers offensive lineman Alex Boone doesn\u2019t see Arizona trading within the division.<\/p>\n

\"Could
Could Colts trade for Cardinals pass rushing edge Josh Sweat? \u2013 Yahoo Sports<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cStop it,\u201d Boone said on the same show in response to Cohn\u2019s suggestion. \u201cNo ownership is going to let you trade within your [division]. I was like, \u2018Wait a minute. Isn\u2019t he with the Cardinals?\u2019 Hey, what\u2019s up, guys? It\u2019s just the Niners calling. Listen, I know we uh I know we beat your a\u2013 every year, but we\u2019re going to take that defensive end off your hands while we\u2019re at it. Come on over here. You know, we\u2019ll take it.\u2019 There\u2019s no way they would let that happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nick Bosa Would Benefit From Joey Bosa Being on the Niners<\/h2>\n

As far as pass rushers go, the 49ers are in the speculation conversation regarding free agent Joey Bosa. With the older Bosa still a free agent, KNBR\u2019s Larry Krueger shared that the former\u00a0Los Angeles Chargers\u00a0star would be a major help for his younger brother, Nick Bosa.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoey Bosa is definitely a fit,\u201c\u00a0Krueger said on the May 25 edition of \u201cThe Krueg Show.\u201d\u00a0\u201cObviously, his brother is on the roster returning from a torn ACL. His brother needs him at this point. If Joey Bosa came to the Niners, that would make Nick Bosa\u2019s life easier.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cJoey Bosa has made a ton of cash, and I think at this point, making his little brother\u2019s life easier and maybe pairing with him to get a ring together could be very exciting and intriguing. But the price has probably got to be right.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
