One team that could decide to make a run at Colts DT DeForest Buckner is the San Francisco 49ers, a team the star defens Via @AdamSchefter on X

What happened: Indianapolis has drawn strong trade interest in Buckner. League sources identify San Francisco as a club that could decide to pursue him.

Why it matters: A potential bid from his former team would add to Indianapolis's options as it considers Buckner's future. San Francisco has yet to decide whether to make a run at him.

What to watch: The next development is whether the 49ers pursue a deal with the Colts.
