Niners Trade Winters, Cowboys Gain Depth

0:00It's April 25th, welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI and ready for kickoff. San Francisco 49ers shipped linebacker D Winters to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for the 150 second pick in the 5th round. This move clears space after they locked in Dre Greenlaw during free agency. Winters held it down last season, amid all the chaos on defense, stepping up big in his role. But he's heading into the final year of his deal, and with Nick Martin already on board from last year's third round, he became the expendable piece. Now the Niners linebacker crew looks stacked, Fred Warner anchoring it, Greenlaw back in the mix, Martin developing, plus Tate of Bethune, Luke. Gifford, Garrett Wallow, and Jalen Graham fighting for spots. Fans see this as smart depth management. That fifth rounder fits right into San Francisco's wheelhouse. They love mining gyms late in the draft for roster upside. Cowboys grab a proven young talent to bolster their front seven.

1:00With training camp looming, this trade sharpens both team's focus, heading into the draft, and beyond.
