49ers Acquire Keion White from Patriots for Future Draft Picks
The San Francisco 49ers have acquired defensive end Keion White from the New England Patriots in a trade involving late-round draft picks. The deal was orchestrated by 49ers' General Manager John Lynch.
White, a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, has shown promise with six career sacks. He was part of the final draft class under Bill Belichick's tenure in New England and is now traded under Mike Vrabel's leadership.
In exchange for White, the Patriots will receive a 2026 sixth-round pick from the 49ers, along with a 2026 seventh-round pick. The Patriots, currently leading the AFC East at 6-2 and riding a five-game winning streak, are strengthening their roster with this trade.
The 49ers will gain a talented defensive end in Keion White, who will join forces with their already formidable defense. Meanwhile, the Patriots continue to bolster their draft capital for future picks.
