The SF 49ers are trading with the NY Jets for EDGE Jordan Willis, calling into question if fellow EDGE Dee Ford’s health is a long-term concern.
The SF 49ers‘ outside pass rush was supposed to be the primary strength of the defense heading into 2020, but the first six weeks of the regular season have yielded disastrous results.
Of course, losing two of the team’s best edge rushers, Nick Bosa (torn ACL) and Dee Ford (back), for extended periods of time certainly influenced the Niners boasting a mere 10 sacks on the season, tied for 22nd overall in the league.
