4-team trades are extremely unbelievable to ever occur, however they’re certain enjoyable to consider.
CBS Sports activities’ Cody Benjamin created a fully wild one for us to contemplate that options the San Francisco 49ers, Miami Dolphins, Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints.
On this commerce proposal, all three of Brock Purdy, Tua Tagovailoa and Kirk Cousins change groups.
The phrases:
- 49ers get: QB Kirk Cousins (Falcons), 2026 second-round choose (Dolphins), 2026 third-round choose (Saints)
- Dolphins get: QB Brock Purdy (49ers)
- Saints get: QB Tua Tagovailoa (Dolphins)
- Falcons get: C Matt Hennessy (49ers), 2026 fifth-round choose (Saints)
That is Benjamin’s logic:
“The 49ers simply paid Purdy, which is, however we all know Kyle Shanahan has an affinity for his previous pal Cousins, and we all know Cousins is at the moment blowing within the wind, awaiting a possibility as Atlanta’s No. 2. The Purdy-to-Cousins swap could be a downgrade in 2025, however including a few early-round picks might assist San Francisco replenish its better infrastructure.
“Miami, in the meantime, may embrace a extra dynamic signal-caller for Mike McDaniel’s timing-based offense, whereas sending Tagovailoa to a different former left-handed quarterback in Kellen Moore, whose Saints are sorely inexperienced underneath heart.
“Even contemplating Tua’s harm historical past, you possibly can guess veterans like Alvin Kamara, Chris Olave and Brandin Cooks may desire a confirmed passer as Moore installs his offense.”

It might undoubtedly be wild for the 49ers to maneuver Purdy so quickly after paying him.
It might be fairly the coup for the Saints to resolve their QB state of affairs with Tua (if he can keep wholesome).
The Falcons get off of Cousins with out having to surrender a ton else, which might most likely be high-quality with them.
The Dolphins cannot be too upset to get Purdy within the motion.
It is actually simply San Francisco, ending up with the getting old and declining Cousins, that would actually take difficulty with this.
It will not ever occur, you would not assume, however what a wild thought experiment.
