DeForest Buckner is returning to San Francisco. Sources told Tom Pelissero of The Ringer. Buckner spent the first four years of his NFL career with the 49ers before San Francisco sent him to Indianapolis in 2020 in exchange for a first-round pick.

The 32-year-old then signed a four-year, $84 million contract extension with the Colts. Buckner has played for Indianapolis for the past seven seasons. Over his career, the defensive tackle has earned three Pro Bowl selections and one First-Team All-Pro honor.

His production also underscores his importance to the defense. According to TruMedia, Buckner’s 66.5 sacks since 2018 are the second-most by any defensive tackle. Only Chris Jones has more sacks during that span.

Colts reshape roster and draft capital

The trade was already the Colts’ second deal on Tuesday. Indianapolis had previously sent Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for a third- and a fifth-round pick.

Both Nelson and Buckner are in the final year of their contracts and are set to become unrestricted free agents in 2027. The pick for Buckner is in the 2027 draft and falls in the fourth round.

DeForest Buckner remained a key part of the Colts’ defense this season. He played more than 81 percent of the defensive snaps in seven games. He recorded 31 tackles, 20 pressures, eight quarterback hits and four sacks.

The 49ers enter Week 8 with a record of 6-1. The team suffered its first loss on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. San Francisco has a bye in Week 8, with its next game scheduled for November 8 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

With Buckner, San Francisco gets back an experienced defensive tackle who spent a significant portion of his career in the 49ers’ system.
