Latest news and updates about the 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers have several players doing media tours this week. Fred Warner sat down with SB Nation’s Jeanna Kelly to share his thoughts on everything from Raheem Morris to his thoughts about some of his teammates. What are your thoughts about Raheem Morris? What did you learn about this team during the time […]
You do not win 12 games after sustaining multiple injuries at the foundational positions your team is built on without players performing above expectation. It’s easy to remember the bad plays and outcomes, but we often forget the backups who stepped up and filled in when they weren’t expected to play in the first place. […]
San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York said in an interview during Super Bowl media week that his team would “most likely” serve as the home team for an international game during the 2026 regular season.

The San Francisco 49ers had a defense-focused draft in the 2025 NFL Draft, taking five straight defenders to kick off the three-day event. Among that group were three defensive linemen: first-round pick Mykel Williams, second-round pick Alfred Collins, and fourth-round pick C.J. West. All three played meaningful roles for the 49ers in 2025. Williams was […]
Baldy names 49ers’ top offseason priority to close the NFC gap “Defensively, you have to get a lot better,” Baldinger said. “Seattle’s defense is the number one defense in football (in points allowed). New England’s was the fourth-best defense in football. Denver’s was the third-best. Houston was [the second-best]. You’ve got to have a top-ten […]
Congratulations. You’ve just been hired as the San Francisco 49ers general manager. Unfortunately for you, the duration of your contract is based on the first move you make. Let’s try to keep it realistic here. You’re not going to trade Brock Purdy or move all of your future draft capital for one player. We can […]
The San Francisco 49ers drafted a 20-year-old in the 2025 NFL Draft. The thought was that Mykel Williams would grow into a role that mirrored Arik Armstead. Williams was not a unanimous choice among fans. I was in the camp that would have selected Walter Nolen, who had two serious injuries as a rookie, including […]
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, former Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Gus Bradley has been hired as the Tennessee Titans new defensive coordinator under recently hired head coach Robert Saleh: The 59-year-old Bradley reunites with Saleh, who returned as the San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator last season and worked alongside Bradley, formerly the 49ers assistant head […]
On Monday, we discussed a free-agent pass rusher from the Atlanta Falcons who could follow Raheem Morris to the San Francisco 49ers. We don’t expect the entire free agent pool from Atlanta to follow Morris, but we’ll go over three other fits today that make sense. TE Kyle Pitts The 49ers need a big, fast, productive […]
The 49ers knew the 2025 NFL Draft would be a hugely important one for the future of their team and particularly their defense. San Francisco focused heavily on that side of the ball last year, spending each of the franchise’s first five picks on defense and using six selections in total on that unit. Though […]
49ers expect to give up home game to play internationally in 2026“So far, the league has confirmed the following locations for international games during the 2026 regular season: Melbourne, Australia (Melbourne Cricket Ground) — Los Angeles Rams participating Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Maracanã Stadium) Munich, Germany (FC Bayern Munich Arena) London, England — three games […]
The Tennessee Titans are going to have one of the most experienced coaching staffs in the NFL next year. Adam Schefter is reporting today that they have hired Gus Bradley as their defensive coordinator. Bradley spent last season as the assistant head coach for the San Francisco 49ers. He has been a defensive coordinator at […]
Gus Bradley is becoming a defensive coordinator this offseason. Only it’s not with the San Francisco 49ers. The Tennessee Titans are hiring Bradley to become their next defensive coordinator under recently-hired head coach Robert Saleh, according to Albert Breer. Bradley and Saleh were together on the 49ers staff this past season, and Bradley was in […]
The San Francisco 49ers have a lot of opportunity to bolster their roster this offseason, as they’ll have ample cap space to make moves if desired, while also holding seven projected draft picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. While the 49ers do have a couple of holes to address (pass rush among them), it could […]
The San Francisco 49ers ended up trading a fifth-round pick for Bryce Huff to the Philadelphia Eagles. While Huff remains under contract for another season, he, like many others on the Niners defense, has zero ties to new defensive coordinator Raheem Morris. The 49ers wanted Huff to complement Nick Bosa and take the pass rush […]
Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh has not named a defensive coordinator yet. It’s essentially a caretaking position. Saleh plans to call defensive plays in Tennessee. He’s looking for his version of Nick Holz on defense. Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer offered some potential insight into the process over the weekend. Saleh’s old team, the San […]
When the San Francisco 49ers interviewed only three candidates for the defensive coordinator job, it felt like the two minority candidates were nothing more than a formality before hiring Gus Bradley. We will see if Bradley heads elsewhere after the 49ers hired Raheem Morris to replace Robert Saleh as their defensive coordinator. There was speculation […]
When you went to the San Francisco 49ers team page at any point during the past week, you noticed there were two things that were different. Robert Saleh wasn’t on there anymore. That made sense, as Saleh had accepted a head coaching position in the AFC. But defensive backs coach Daniel Bullocks was nowhere to […]

At some point this week, Raheem Morris will officially be announced as the 49ers’ defensive coordinator.

Despite plenty of flashes […]

The San Francisco 49ers obviously have needs in the 2026 season, but none more so than both offensive and defensive lines. We’ve wondered if this would be the year they take an offensive tackle in the first round, and this latest mock draft from NFL.com’s Eric Edholm addresses the inevitable moment in the (hopefully distant) […]
49ers set to hire Raheem Morris as DC, reuniting him with Kyle Shanahan (paywall)“On the heels of Robert Saleh, a disciple to a wide 9 and 4-3 defensive scheme, Morris does not present the most seamless transition. The last time he called defensive plays was in a 3-4 defense as Rams defensive coordinator from 2021-23. Los […]
