The San Francisco 49ers addressed one of their biggest areas of need ahead of Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET trade deadline. Hours before the deadline passed, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport revealed the 49ers acquired wide receiver Keenan Allen from the Indianapolis Colts for a sixth-round draft pick.
The Colts have remained the most active team at the trade deadline and are undeniably in “sell mode” currently. While other Colts players, including running back Jonathan Taylor and wideout Josh Downs, remain possible trade candidates, the 49ers’ receiving corps has been hit by the injury bug all year, and getting Allen for a late-round pick is a win-win for both teams.
