The 49ers have a big decision to make between now and next Tuesday.
Will general manager John Lynch make a big trade to help an injury-ravaged roster before the Nov. 5 deadline? Or will he hold out hope that the eventual return of running back Christian McCaffrey and linebacker Dre Greenlaw will be enough to propel the 49ers to the top of the NFC?
49ers fans were asked to weigh in this weekend.
Given three options, 43.4% of 477 respondents on X, formerly Twitter, voted for “Make calls, don’t overpay.”
Do the 49ers need to make a big trade now?

The phrase “Yes, the team needs a spark” came in second place with 41.4 percent of the votes.
Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan have rocked noteworthy trade deadline deals over the past few years, headlined by Emmanuel Sanders (2019), McCaffrey (2022), and Chase Young and Randy Gregory (2023).
Time will tell if Lynch and Shanahan can work out another deal to move the needle and help the 49ers into the playoffs.
