Latest news and updates about the 49ers
It’s that time again, when we look at the previous drafts of the San Francisco 49ers and reflect. We’re lucky to have video of each draft, thanks to YouTube poster and 49ers fan Marvin49. We’ll look at every year of the Kyle Shanahan era through 2025. Today it’s 2019. The 2019 NFL Draft was the draft that defined the […]
Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby was traded to the Baltimore Ravens (or at least agreed to, since it can’t be processed until next week). That was never going to be cheap, and two first-round picks are mighty pricey for a San Francisco 49ers team that needs to continue its “rebuild”. In fact, one […]
Ravens reportedly ready to outbid 49ers, others for Raiders star Maxx Crosby“I heard pretty strongly they are offering their one (first-round pick), plus two more Day Two (rounds two and three) picks,” one general manager, who is also interested in Crosby, told La Canfora. “I don’t know exactly in which years, and they probably want […]
The San Francisco 49ers may not make any deals on Friday, but the rumors are flying in with free agency underway. If you are among those wanting the 49ers to be active in the wide receiver market come free agency, you’re in luck: The 49ers’ interest in Alec Pierce and Romeo Doubs would put their […]
After years of attracting top free agents, the San Francisco 49ers shed salary last offseason, offloading several veterans while letting others walk in free agency as they looked to get younger as a team. San Francisco ultimately made all 11 of their draft picks and saw several first, second, and third-year players step into bigger […]
The San Francisco 49ers’ wide receiver room is going to need an overhaul and immediate improvement. Perhaps the draft will turn up an impactful and instant contributor. Maybe the 49ers will see a jump from Jordan Watkins and Jacob Cowing? Banking on those two is an incredible risk. Ricky Pearsall isn’t a lock to lead […]
The negotiating period for NFL free agency has begun. Cuts and trades are happening already as teams rework their rosters. The San Francisco 49ers could have plenty of roster turnover during the next couple of weeks. Today, we’ll go over each unrestricted free agent and determine whether the team will bring them back. We have […]
The 49ers desperately need to address the wide receiver position this offseason, and it appears as if they are prepared to do so with a substantial investment in free agency. San Francisco will part company with Brandon Aiyuk when the new league year opens next week, and Jauan Jennings appears likely to go elsewhere in […]
The one thing we’re still waiting for in all this Brandon Aiyuk drama is the “why”. Well, at least his side of the story. We know why the San Francisco 49ers are releasing their wide receiver—something something missed rehab meetings—but as far as Aiyuk is concerned, all we know is he wants out of San […]
49ers add former NFL head coach Matt Eberflus to defensive staff (paywall)“Eberflus finished three of his four seasons in Indianapolis with a top-10 scoring defense. But following the abrupt trade of Cowboys star edge rusher Micah Parsons, he ended his one-and-done stint in Dallas with a unit that ranked dead last in that category, allowing […]
The Arizona Cardinals had the worst luck of any NFL club this past season with their running back room. First, it was starter James Conner who went down in Week 3 in a key matchup with the San Francisco 49ers with a foot injury. That required surgery and placed Conner on season-ending IR. RELATED: FREE […]
The San Francisco 49ers have hired Matt Eberflus as their assistant head coach of defense, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Eberflus was the defensive coordinator with the Indianapolis Colts from 2018 through 2021. He was the Chicago Bears head coach from 2022 through 2024, before serving as the Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator last season. […]
The assumption is that the San Francisco 49ers will swing for a wide receiver this offseason. How big that swing will be might be determined by the market. The 49ers could use a first-round pick on a wide receiver for the second time in three years. After the Chicago Bears just traded DJ Moore to […]
When you can’t explain something that has consistently been an issue, you grasp at straws—like an electrical substation. Anybody following the San Francisco 49ers can’t pinpoint the root cause of the injuries that were once again a problem in 2025. The annual adjusted games lost article is out. In a surprise to nobody, the 49ers […]
The San Francisco 49ers are in a prime position to upgrade their roster this offseason, having ample cap space and draft capital to make a push in 2026. Now, they will need to get their affairs in order (namely an extension for Trent Williams), but there should be cap space to make several moves in […]
The legal tampering period begins in five days as free agency in the NFL kicks off. The San Francisco 49ers are in a complete remodel of their wide receiver room. The top three options in 2023 (Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and Jauan Jennings) could all be in different uniforms, leaving Ricky Pearsall as the de […]
Dueling 49ers mock drafts: Who drafted better? (Paywall)“Barrows: Cashius Howell, edge, Texas A&M: Yeah, yeah, I know — he has short arms. Howell’s levers measured just 30 1/4 inches at the combine, meaning he’d have the stubbiest arms of any Round 1 edge defender this century if the 49ers took him here. His arms weren’t […]
The San Francisco 49ers lost one of their longtime assistants earlier this offseason when the Seattle Seahawks hired tight ends coach Brian Fleury to be their next offensive coordinator. Fleury was hired by the 49ers in 2019 after working with the Miami Dolphins, initially starting as a defensive quality control coach. He had previous experience […]
The 49ers know how valuable Mac Jones was last season, and all the reports to this point have insisted they do not intend to trade their backup quarterback. San Francisco’s reluctance to part with a player whom they smartly signed to a two-year contract last offseason is understandable, but the reality is that, save for […]
The rumor mill is churning after the NFL Combine. We’re under a week away from finding out who the San Francisco 49ers covet in free agency. According to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, the Niners are a potential landing spot for free agent wide receiver Mike Evans, who has “a real chance he will take […]
The Los Angeles Rams and the Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to a deal in which the Rams receive cornerback Trent McDuffie, while the Chiefs receive the No. 29 pick in this year’s draft, as well as the Rams’ fifth- and sixth-round picks. Additionally, the Chiefs sent a 2027 third-round pick to the Rams. McDuffie […]
NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo provided an update about Trent Williams contract and whether the San Francisco 49ers have made any progress within the past week: From my understanding, there’s been no progress from the past week when the 49ers talked about the optimism that they would get a new deal with Williams to remain with […]
The least surprising thing come the NFL Draft would be for the San Francisco 49ers to select another pass rusher in the 1st round. When general manager John Lynch spoke at the NFL Combine, he was pretty blunt in saying it was an area where the 49ers would address: “I think you always want to […]
49ers linked to Vikings pass rusher Jonathan Greenard amid trade report “A lot of the 49ers’ inability to generate pass rush last year was the byproduct of Nick Bosa missing most of the year after he tore his ACL,” DeArdo wrote. “But even with Bosa slated to make a full recovery, it would still make sense […]
The San Francisco 49ers’ wide receiver room is going to look drastically different in 2026. Jauan Jennings and Brandon Aiyuk are departing, with Deebo Samuel leaving this past offseason after signing with Washington. The top three wide receivers from 2023 will be in different uniforms. Surely the 49ers expected one or two to depart, but […]
