The Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers were reportedly two teams trying to trade for New York Jets edge rusher Jermaine Johnson. Here are the details for why both teams failed in their pursuits.

The 49ers are competing with the Chicago Bears, Pittsburgh Steelers, and three other teams in a free agent battle for a top target.

New York Jets pass-rusher Jermaine Johnson II reportedly drew interest from multiple teams prior to Tuesday's trade deadline.

The 49ers are by far the most injured team in the NFL. The only teams playing close to as many rookies as San Francisco are tanking. The 49ers finding six wins at the halfway point despite what their roster has been through is nothing short of impressive. The only question is how this can continue.

The San Francisco 49ers stayed put on the final day of the NFL trade deadline, leaving fans who were expecting a major move to fill gaps in the defense feeling let down.The team had already made a notable trade earlier in the window,

The Bears (5-3) have won five of six, including three of four since their bye, to jump into the playoff race in Johnson’s first season. The last thing they need is a letdown against the struggling New York Giants after winning one of the wildest games in recent memory last weekend at Cincinnati.
