The San Francisco 49ers bolstered their defensive line through the recent NFL draft, bringing in depth with three new linemen. However, the unit may require additional help in the pass rush, which was underwhelming last season. The 49ers are looking for veteran pass rushers to rotate in, especially after losing key players like Maliek Collins and Leonard Floyd.

Among potential free agents, Von Miller stands out as a notable option. Although he is 36, his experience and ability to mentor younger players could be invaluable, alongside his impressive production per snap last season. Matthew Judon is another candidate who, despite struggling recently, has a proven track record and could rejuvenate opposite Nick Bosa. Za'Darius Smith, coming off a solid season, is also on the radar. Lastly, Jihad Ward, who has shown versatility, could be a low-risk option for the 49ers’ pass rush.
