## Resource

The San Francisco 49ers are reportedly targeting Vita Vea in a potential blockbuster trade, aiming to bolster their defensive line after already acquiring Mike Evans. Vea’s run-stopping prowess and pass-rushing ability could pair devastatingly with Osa Odighizuwa, potentially rivaling the Rams’ defense. But the price tag is steep—Vea likely wants $35–40M annually, pushing the 49ers to consider trading Christian McCaffrey, whose aging body and looming contract make him a prime candidate for departure. With a current $71M cap cushion, the move could free up space to sign Vea, but it’ll require tough decisions to avoid future cap chaos in 2027–2028.
