\"We're the San Francisco 49ers, we can do whatever we want.\"
The first day of the NFL league year is March 11, and Adam Schefter thinks the 49ers won’t waste any time moving on from wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. “He’ll be released on the first day of the league year, I think,” Schefter said, without any delay on the answer during his appearance on the Pardon […]
49ers reportedly targeting Louisville receiver amid NFL Combine buzz“The recent word here at the combine is that Bell is back in the conversation as a potential late first-round pick,” Pauline wrote. “The teams that I’m told are targeting Bell in this area are the Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers. Both teams make sense, as […]
The NFL announced on Friday that this season’s salary cap will be $301.2 million per team this year, up from $279.2 million in 2025, as the league’s cap continues to grow at a high rate. As a result, the San Francisco 49ers are projected to have approximately $38.9 million in cap space this offseason, according […]
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. There won’t be a shortage of pass rushers on the market, with high-priced, big-ticket players like Maxx […]
The San Francisco 49ers are intent on overhauling their wide receiver room. Still, when General Manager John Lynch spoke to the media at the Scouting Combine press conference, he mentioned EDGE as the other position, which is fair given the lack of pass rush in 2025. Nick Bosa and Mykel Williams will return from injury, […]
The NFLPA survey is out, and the San Francisco 49ers’ grades from players ranked 14th overall among all teams. The Niners fared relatively well across the board, except for the area most wouldn’t expect them to. Here’s a look at each grade: 49ers NFLPA:Treatment of Families: BHome Game Field: A-Dining Area: ANutritionist/Dietician: B+Locker Room: BTraining […]
New Trent Williams standoff, same story: He owns all the leverage (paywall) “For starters, the 49ers aren’t well-positioned to play take-it-or-leave-it hardball because they’ve neglected a succession plan as Williams has aged. The 49ers haven’t drafted an offensive tackle since they selected since-departed Jaylon Moore in the fifth round in 2021, meaning journeyman Austen Pleasants, 28, […]
The 2026 NFL Scouting Combine is upon us for the rest of the week, as the top draft prospects will test and interview for NFL teams in hopes of hearing their names called later this offseason. But the combine isn’t only a time where teams meet with prospects. It’s also an opportunity for head coaches […]
With the NFL Combine underway, we will hear about the different prospects the San Francisco 49ers have met with. We’ll do our best to keep the running list of players the team has met with at this week’s event and at previous All-Star Games. Plus, there is the Pro Bowl circuit in March; the 49ers […]
Statistically, San Francisco 49ers cornerback Renardo Green is on the leaderboard page for completion percentage allowed, yards per target, and finished 11th in pass breakups in 2025. For a second-year player, that’s about as good as you could ask for someone selected at the end of the second round. But something was off this past […]
When ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted that the New York Jets and Tennessee Titans agreed to a trade on Thursday morning for pass rusher Jermaine Johnson, the first thought was, “I wonder how hard Robert Saleh pushed for Johnson during the 2025 trade deadline.” Sure enough, Connor Hughes, who covers the Jets, tweeted that the San […]
San Francisco 49ers GM John Lynch reiterated the organization’s stance on backup quarterback Mac Jones, who will draw interest around the league following his impressive 2025 season. “We’re really happy with what he gives us,” Lynch said, while saying it would take a considerable offer to pry the former New England and Jacksonville quarterback from […]
What we learned from John Lynch at NFL combine: Brandon Aiyuk’s status, Mac Jones’ future (paywall)“So far, there’s been no discussion, though Lynch noted he’s been swamped with competition committee meetings during the day and prospect interviews in the evening. (Lynch was the last official from any team to take the podium Tuesday.) “Really, where […]
When it comes to offseason needs for the San Francisco 49ers, wide receiver is near or atop that list, with the team potentially needing to replace two starters this offseason. Jauan Jennings, a seventh-round pick back in 2020, is a free agent and could command a hefty salary on the open market after recording over […]
The San Francisco 49ers are fully in offseason mode, with the NFL Combine starting up this week and free agency soon to follow. After a 13-win year that included a playoff win, the 49ers are in a good spot to grow this offseason, having the resources to spend in free agency, while also having seven […]
As we talk about the San Francisco 49ers contract situation with left tackle Trent Williams, it only makes sense to discuss potential options at the end of the first round, or if they trade out to acquire more picks—or trade up if there’s a player they covet—to be the potential heir to their future Hall […]
The San Francisco 49ers have been consistent this offseason in saying that they want Mac Jones back in 2026. A month ago, Kyle Shanahan said he’d be “very surprised” if Jones weren’t on the team this upcoming season. Every time either Shanahan or John Lynch speaks on the subject, it feels like the team is […]
Another year, another 49ers contract dispute. And for the second time in three years, there is an impasse involving arguably the most important player on the San Francisco offense, All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams. Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the 49ers are struggling to find a “contractual solution” to address the fact that Williams is set […]
Some fans choose their team, and some fans are chosen by their team. Which was it for you? Today, we want to hear your story from you: How you became a fan of the 49ers. When did you first become a fan? Were you born into it? Was there a specific game or season that […]
49ers, Trent Williams locked in contract dispute that reportedly could end in his release (paywall)“The 49ers have little financial incentive to part with Williams. The 49ers would earn $4.69 million in salary cap space by releasing Williams, but such a move would trigger a $34.15 million dead-money charge. In addition, the 49ers don’t have a […]
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Tuesday afternoon that the San Francisco 49ers and left tackle Trent Williams are struggling to find a contract solution that could potentially lead to Williams’ release this offseason. The timing comes as the NFL Combine is underway, and that’s generally when we hear about free agency rumors like this one. […]
The San Francisco 49ers are welcoming back an old friend to the front office. No, it’s not Trent Baalke. Former Minnesota Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah will be back in the fold as a personnel executive, according to general manager John Lynch. Adofo-Mensah has been in the building and around; the 49ers are just waiting […]
Free agency is just a couple of weeks away, and there could be an unexpected name joining the group: San Francisco 49ers star left tackle Trent Williams. Williams has been a bookend left tackle in San Francisco for the past six seasons, earning five Pro Bowl honors, three First-Team All-Pro selections, and one Second-Team All-Pro […]
ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. released his latest mock draft, and the San Francisco 49ers invested in the offensive line for the first time in the first round since Mike McGlinchey. It’s something we can expect to be popular in every mock draft cycle, but it’s 49ers offensive line coach Chris Foerster who is on record […]
San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch takes the podium at 5:30 PM EST in Indianapolis at the NFL Scouting Combine to address media members. Coming off a very successful 12-win season, especially considering the injury circumstances, Lynch should have a sizable crowd and will have to answer some difficult questions. What are some of […]
