49ers Eye Jessie Bates Trade | Atlanta Falcons News

The 49ers could be set to pull off a savvy trade for Pro Bowl safety Jessie Bates III, sending a 2027 third-round pick and receiving a 2028 sixth-rounder in return. With Bates’ contract at just $13M for 2026 — below market value — and his proven track record of interceptions and All-Pro honors, this move would give San Francisco a major defensive upgrade. Raheem Morris, the new defensive coordinator who coached Bates in Atlanta, knows exactly what he brings. While still hypothetical, the fit is perfect for a team aiming to contend — especially given their last-place defense in EPA allowed per dropback last season.
