San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said on a radio appearance Thursday morning that he wouldn’t be shy about making a trade at or ahead of the deadline if he believes a player will improve the Niners’ roster. Of course, that means said player would need to be acquired at a reasonable price and be a fit with the team culture.
That player is on TV tonight. Kayvon Thibodeaux has recorded a sack in three of five games. He’s notched multiple pressures in every game and has at least one run
stop in each game. Thiboduax is 6’5″, 260 pounds, with the type of athleticism that makes defensive coordinators salivate over.
Tonight is an audition for Thibodeaux for multiple teams, not just the Niners. The Giants look dead in the water after a brutal loss to the Saints last week. New York is a team that could sell at the deadline. Thibodeaux is a logical option, given Thibodeaux is in a contract year.
