The Indianapolis Colts have completed a second major trade of the offseason, sending defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for a 2027 fourth‑round draft pick.
In the move, the Colts relinquished Buckner, who had been a key contributor on their defensive line, to the 49ers. The trade adds a future draft asset to the Colts’ roster, giving them a fourth‑round selection in the 2027 NFL Draft.
For the 49ers, the acquisition brings a veteran interior defender to bolster their line depth. The trade is part of the Colts’ broader strategy to reshape their roster and accumulate draft capital.
The 2027 fourth‑round pick will allow the Colts to target emerging talent in the upcoming draft, while the 49ers gain an experienced player who can contribute immediately on the defensive front.
