ESPN proposes a 49ers-Colts trade
ESPN analyst Bill Barnwell suggests the undefeated 49ers could trade for Colts defensive tackle DaQuan Stewart to shore up a nose‑tackle spot, addressing the team’s 27th‑ranked run‑stop success.

He notes the 49ers already have Osa Odighizuwa and rookie Gracen Halton performing well, but need a bulkier interior lineman for postseason play. The proposal includes a possible draft pick sweetener to shift salary to Indianapolis.
