Until the Trent Williams situation has a resolution, the San Francisco 49ers’ biggest need along the offensive line is at left guard.

Next month will mark half a decade since the 49ers made the defining draft mistake of the Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch era.

After 2024, imagine […]

The San Francisco 49ers are expected to be more of a player in free agency this offseason in comparison to last, where they prioritized spending cash on extending their core, while letting most of their key free agents walk.

The San Francisco 49ers have an obvious need at pass rush, finishing with a league-low 20 sacks in 2025, showing no ability to get after the quarterback after Nick Bosa suffered his season-ending knee injury in Week 3.
