The San Francisco 49ers will have to trim down its roster to 53 players before the deadline on Tuesday afternoon.
San Francisco certainly will be busy over the next 24 hours and that could lead to some trades as well as plenty of cuts. One player who could be on the move is cornerback Ambry Thomas, according to NFL Trade Rumors' Logan Ulrich.
"49ers CB Ambry Thomas or Samuel Womack or Darrell Luter or Rock Ya-Sin, (New York Giants) CB Tre Hawkins or Darnay Holmes or Tre Herndon, (Philadelphia Eagles) CB Josh Jobe or Zech McPhearson or Eli Ricks, (and) (Arizona Cardinals) CB Starling Thomas," Ulrich said. "At this point, it looks like the 49ers starting three corners will be Charvarius Ward, Deommodore Lenoir, and second-round rookie Renardo Green.
"Veteran Isaac Yiadom is locked in as the top backup. That leaves a spot or two for Thomas, Womack, Luter, and Ya-Sin. Whoever ends up on the wrong side of the bubble could draw interest from other teams. San Francisco will also need to carry extra depth at safety while Talanoa Hufanga recuperates from last year’s torn ACL, which eats up roster slots available for corners."
Thomas saw some time as a starter for the 49ers last season. He appeared in 15 games for San Francisco in 2023 and started six games. It's unclear exactly what the 49ers will do, but it's clear that changes are coming.
