The 49ers are reportedly pursuing one of the league's best cornerbacks

The 49ers are reportedly interested in trading for Jaylon Johnson, one of the league's top cornerbacks, ahead of the trade deadline.

In the wake of their worst defensive performance of the season, the San Francisco 49ers are eyeing a major defensive improvement for their secondary, according to multiple reports. Disgruntled Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson, one of the top players at his position, is on the trade market because of failed contract negotiations.

reporters Jeremy Fowler and Ed Werder have both indicated that the Niners are among the teams interested in making a move for Johnson ahead of the trade deadline at 1 p.m. Pacific time Tuesday. Werder specifically noted that San Francisco is competing directly with Buffalo for the corner. If that reporting is correct, it’s a desperation versus desperation race for Johnson’s services. The Niners have been on a three-game skid that has shined a bright light on the team’s defensive issues.
