49ers trading for Texans’ Maliek Collins, per sources: Why San Francisco made the move, where DT fits in lineup

Quick Glance: San Francisco Acquiring Maliek Collins from Texans: Reasons Behind the Move and Defensive Lineup Placement
- The 49ers are adjusting their interior defense by acquiring defensive tackle Maliek Collins from the Texans, as confirmed by sources. In return for Collins, the Texans will receive a 2024 seventh-round pick. This particular selection is Pick No. 232, which arrived at the 49ers from the Vikings last season.
- With Armstead likely departing, the 49ers needed to add a starter at defensive tackle. They found this solution in Collins, who has been a consistent starter for the Texans over the past three seasons, accumulating 11 sacks during this period.
- With Collins now part of the team, the anticipated starting defensive lineup for the 49ers will consist of Bosa and Floyd at defensive end, along with Collins and Jones at defensive tackle. This lineup is expected to bring a stronger pass-rushing presence compared to the 2023 setup, primarily due to Floyd's inclusion.
- Assuming a seamless contract transition to San Francisco, the 49ers will absorb Collins' $8 million base salary, with $6 million of it fully guaranteed. Additionally, he has the potential to earn up to $500,000 in bonus money per game.
