Latest news and updates about the 49ers
Earlier today, we discussed the 49ers and their mock drafts as the new March Madness, which brings us to another 49ers mock draft. This one comes from NFL.com’s Chad Reuter, and it’s four rounds of NFL mock fun. Reuter did trades in the first round, but after that, it’s your standard three rounds. The 49ers are active […]
It’s time to reflect on the San Francisco 49ers’ previous drafts again. Thanks to YouTube poster and 49ers fan Marvin49, we have videos of each draft. We’ll look at every year during the Kyle Shanahan era up to 2025. Today, it’s 2020. The 2020 NFL Draft was unlike anything we’d seen before; No stage. No crowd. No boos raining down on Roger […]
Report: 49ers won’t exercise Trent Williams’ $10M bonus amid contract standoff“Williams’ salary cap number now will grow to close to $47 million, but the team is not overly concerned about it,” Schefter wrote, “and it still is planning to rework his contract before next month’s NFL Draft.” Barrows: 49ers NFL Draft big board: Edges, wideouts, […]
Friday was an important day for Trent Williams and the San Francisco 49ers. There was a deadline at 1 p.m. PT for the 49ers to exercise a $10 million option bonus in Williams’ contract. It’s an option bonus spread out in increments of $2.5 million over the next four years for salary cap purposes, but […]
Rob Lowder and I went through each draft pick under the current regime for the San Francisco 49ers in each round to determine whether they were a hit or a miss. It goes without saying that these are subjective. We used playing time, contracts, impact, and longevity as qualifiers. There’s the human element, so we […]
ESPN’s Kevin Seifert said the NFL is “laying groundwork for hiring replacement officials this season.” This wouldn’t be the first time the league did this. Back in 2012, the first three weeks of the regular season were refereed by part-timers. And who could forget the “Fail Mary” between the Packers and Seahawks? Seifert reported the […]
What the heck, right? I decided to fill out a mock draft using Pro Football Focus’ draft simulator for the 49ers. Now, before you yell and say this player won’t be available at this spot or rabble-rabble-rabble, I can’t help that, and just played the board. So, just sit back and enjoy this seven-round mock […]
Once upon a time, the 49ers were waiting until the league year began before they released—or possibly traded—Brandon Aiyuk. We live in a different world now, one where Aiyuk, without any guaranteed money left on his contract, remains on the 49ers with no end in sight. As you might guess, many are wondering what the […]
49ers to host Texas A&M WR KC Concepcion on pre-draft visit “For his career, 1,232 of Concepcion’s receiving yards have come after the catch, according to Pro Football Focus. He also contributed on special teams, returning 30 punts for 501 yards and two touchdowns.” Why 49ers delaying Brandon Aiyuk’s departure is about business, not breakup revenge […]
The San Francisco 49ers had quite an impressive season last year, finding a way to 13 wins despite dealing with a number of injuries once again. Stars like Fred Warner, Nick Bosa, George Kittle, and others dealt with long-term injuries, forcing a number of first and second-year players to step up into bigger roles. But […]
The start of free agency has been extremely productive for the San Francisco 49ers. The wide receiver group needed a makeover, and adding Mike Evans and Christian Kirk helps with that issue. Trading for defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa gives the 49ers a true pass-rushing threat at defensive tackle. You can expect the 49ers to add […]
The San Francisco 49ers have been active thus far in free agency, looking to shore up some of their needs. So far, they’ve made additions at wide receiver, offensive tackle, defensive line, linebacker, cornerback, and punter, adding potential starters at most positions. At wide receiver, the 49ers brought in Mike Evans and Christian Kirk, who […]
Once the Dallas Cowboys invested in Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark, Osa Odighizuwa became expendable in their eyes. Ahead of the San Francisco 49ers trading for a star interior pass rusher, there were reports of teams monitoring Odighizuwa for a trade. On Wednesday, ESPN went through each team’s free agency, and in the Cowboys section, […]
The Miami Dolphins agreed to terms with veteran punter/kickoff specialist Bradley Pinion on Thursday — giving them two punters on the roster after signing 26 year-old Seth Vernon last week. Pinion — 31 years-old — first entered the league as a fifth round pick of the San Francisco 49ers in the 2015 NFL Draft. He […]
As you read through mock drafts for the San Francisco 49ers, especially with Trent Williams’ contract status in limbo, left tackle or a selection of offensive line is becoming more and more popular. Then, you realize the Niners’ investments up front have been few and far between in the NFL Draft under the current regime. […]
The San Francisco 49ers made it a priority to address wide receiver and an interior pass rusher in free agency. History would suggest that one of the offensive line signings could compete with a rookie to start. We’re also waiting to see what the 49ers do with Trent Williams. Because of the uncertainty, offensive tackle […]
49ers pledged to study injury woes. Then they signed several oft-sidelined free agents (Paywall)“From a financial perspective, they are each low-risk moves. But the collective risk is significant. It appears all four players could have important roles. And they have joined a roster loaded with key players who are bad bets to play 17 games […]
Shout out to The Gambler. I guess. The Dallas Cowboys have been very busy since legal tampering and/or free agency officially kicked off last week. They have brought in several new players, applied a couple of tenders, obviously dropped the franchise tag way before then, and they have even been involved in a handful of […]
Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht spoke to the media on Wednesday, and the topic of Mike Evans came up. The San Francisco 49ers were fortunate to sign Mike Evans to the deal that they did, considering the caliber of player they are getting. When asked about losing Evans, Licht said, “That one’s really […]
It has been nine days since the legal tampering period began in the NFL, and the San Francisco 49ers have taken full advantage of adding to their roster with offensive and defensive help. Mike Evans, Christian Kirk, Vederian Lowe, and Brett Toth have been the new faces in the wide receiver room and offensive line […]
Former San Francisco 49ers All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman shared his thoughts on his podcast about the safety position. Sherman said, “Safety first. You got to find a safety, a veteran safety who’s played good football.” There are plenty of veteran safeties available, but how many would be substantial upgrades to what the 49ers have on […]
Free agency continues and we’re all hoping something gets worked out with Trent Williams sooner than later. There’s plenty to keep us all occupied as 49ers fans, but let’s not forget the first round of the NCAA Tournament starts tomorrow! While I remain a diehard 49ers fan, my college basketball fandom has sort of gone […]
The San Francisco 49ers played a playoff game against the Super Bowl champions without a player who is arguably the most critical to their offensive success. George Kittle tore his Achilles tendon the week prior against the Philadelphia Eagles. Kittle made an appearance on an episode of the “Bussin’ With the Boys” podcast on Tuesday, […]
The 49ers have, overall, done an impressive job of plugging gaps in their roster during free agency, but there are still several issues that remain for San Francisco this offseason. And there is no problem more pressing than the issue of Trent Williams’ contract. It was reported early this offseason that the 49ers were open […]
Raiders sign former 49ers OL Spencer Burford“Across four NFL seasons, Burford has appeared in 56 games with 38 starts.” The reality for the 49ers at Pick No. 27 (paywall)“WR: If Concepcion is still there, take him. I’m not certain he’s a definite, first-round-worthy player, but he’s undeniably a special talent with the ball in his […]
