The 49ers went looking for big names at the NFL trade deadline, checking on the availability of Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II, Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson and then-Commanders defensive end Montez Sweat, among others, sources told ESPN.

The cost of all three players ultimately turned out to be too high for the 49ers, who thought that they wouldn't be able to make a deal to improve their team with just hours remaining before the 4 p.m. ET deadline on Oct. 31.

The Commanders, however, lowered their asking price for defensive end Chase Young after some teams expressed medical concerns about him, according to sources.

The Cleveland Browns traded wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones to the Detroit Lions prior to Tuesday's deadline.

Detroit sent a 2025 sixth-round pick to Cleveland in the deal.

The Lions were looking to add depth after Marvin Jones Jr. recently stepped away to "take care of personal family matters."

Peoples-Jones, 24, is in his fourth season out of the University of Michigan as a sixth-round draft pick in 2020.

The Buffalo Bills acquired cornerback Rasul Douglas from the Green Bay Packers before Tuesday's trade deadline.

The Bills sent a 2024 third-round pick to the Packers for Douglas and a 2024 fifth-round pick.

The Packers signed Douglas during the 2021 season off the Arizona Cardinals' practice squad and he led the team with five interceptions in a little more than half a season.

That offseason, they signed him to a three-year, $21 million deal.
