49ers offensive roster breakdown: 1 question for every position heading into OTAs
Barring a post-June 1 A.J. Brown to the AFC East kind of move, the San Francisco 49ers roster heading into the summer is set. Today, we’ll go through the Niners’ roster, position by position, and identify the biggest question as OTAs kick off in a week. Let’s get right into it. Quarterbacks The lingering Mac […]
Which 49ers draft pick will start the most games in 2026?
It wouldn’t be surprising if we get to the middle of the season and multiple members from the San Francisco 49ers’ rookie class have carved out a role in their first year. De’Zhaun Stribling is predicted to fill the Jauan Jennings void, although I believe he’s closer to the mold and production of Deebo Samuel. […]

49ers’ Brock Purdy reveals expectations for rookie De’Zhaun Stribling“Stribling’s a guy that has a lot of raw talent,” Purdy said. “And just throwing routes on air and stuff to him, and getting a feel for how he moves, and his speed, he’s a guy that, once we obviously get him in the playbook a lot, […]

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford enters 2026 having just turned 38. He was set to have a base salary of $16 million, with a $12 million signing bonus.

49ers news: Mike Evans has brought ‘good pressure’ into locker room
The San Francisco 49ers made a number of key acquisitions this offseason, as they look to build off their playoff appearance last year and launch back into contender status. The biggest of them all? Wide receiver Mike Evans, who signed a three-year deal with the 49ers in free agency. Evans and the 49ers aligned on […]
49ers 90-in-90: Is Christian Kirk adding a new dimension to the 49ers passing game?
The 49ers spent money this free agency looking to replace Jauan Jennings and Brandon Aiyuk while adding valuable experience in depth to a room needing both. After a disappointing loss in Seattle in the divisional round, the 49ers’ wide receiver group needed speed and players who can shake free from man-to-man coverage independent of Kyle […]
Using the 49ers’ recent history to determine 3 potential outcomes for this season
Under the “football is a game of inches” mantra is a picture of Kyle Shanahan leaning against a Gatorade cooler in the San Francisco 49ers locker room. You cannot tell Shanahan’s story without Emmanuel Sanders, MetLife Stadium, blockbuster trades for future Hall of Famers, or a Google search of “Can you still play with a […]
49ers’ 2024 draft class entering a make-or-break year
While there has been a lot of scrutiny around some of the decisions the 49ers made in the 2026 NFL Draft, the reality is that few of their crop of rookies are going to be under pressure to have a substantial impact off the bat. San Francisco will hope that De’Zhaun Stribling and defensive linemen […]
49ers News: 16 more Thursdays until 49ers-Rams in Australia
49ers’ top scout dishes on Romello Height, Kaelon Black and team’s draft class (paywall)“John Lynch wasn’t just being descriptive when he said the 49ers had a high “hair on fire grade” for Height, whom they took early in the third round.

What are the 5 most exciting games on the 49ers schedule?
The San Francisco 49ers got their schedule release last week, and it is littered with high-profile games from start to finish.

NFL Insider on 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk: ‘Does he want to play NFL football?’
Today is May 20th, 2026, and the San Francisco 49ers and star receiver Brandon Aiyuk are no closer to a resolution. The bizarre timeline from holdout to a lucrative extension to where we are now is truly something. Speculation has run rampant about which side is to blame, what the circumstances are surrounding the 49ers’ […]
Why 49ers’ UDFA Mikail Kamara is a popular pick to make the roster
SB Nation’s Doug Farrar wrote an article about 9 undrafted free agents that could make Week 1 rosters. National champion Mikail Kamara, a defensive lineman from the Indiana Hoosiers, was listed for the San Francisco 49ers: Speaking of defensive lines that are figuring out their EDGE situation, the 49ers are hoping that the combination of […]
49ers DT Osa Odighizuwa: ‘I haven’t scratched the surface of the player that I am’
Osa Odighizuwa could end up being the San Francisco 49ers’ best offseason acquisition. The 49ers traded a third-round pick to select a third-rounder from the 2021 NFL Draft who has lived near the top of the NFL in interior pressures. Odighizuwa joined former 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman on his podcast to discuss why he joined […]
49ers 90-in-90: Nick Bosa returns from a serious knee injury for the 2nd time this decade
The San Francisco 49ers needed the best version of Nick Bosa in 2025 to compete defensively. The team was comfortable with the number of veterans leaving because they still had their superstar pass rusher. The season began like a typical Bosa year. He had three tackles for loss, a sack, and a forced fumble to […]
49ers News: One week until OTAs
The 49ers’ 38,000-mile travel schedule and Kyle Shanahan’s big WR decisions: Mailbag (paywall)“My guess is they’ll go to Colorado Springs right after the Cowboys game (as they did in 2022, before their last trip to Mexico City). It’s only a two-hour flight and, in conjunction with the flight to Mexico City, would shave a whole […]
Which 49ers player is their best kept secret?
The San Francisco 49ers roster has been among the deepest in the NFL for years. While the names at the top headline the roster, such as Christian McCaffrey, Trent Williams, and others, the roster continues to have hidden gems and players waiting to break out. Whether it is an UDFA or a late-round pick, the […]
How unfavorable is the 49ers schedule?

NFL Insider explains how Kyle Shanahan on John Lynch ‘stablized’ the 49ers
Opinions aren’t split about the San Francisco 49ers brass. In fact, 71% of our poll voters believed John Lynch was the right man for the job. This was after Lynch and Kyle Shanahan caught flak, as they tend to do around NFL Draft time, for selecting a couple of players higher than what was expected […]
49ers named ‘perfect’ fit for 2 top remaining free agents
The San Francisco 49ers are looking like one of the more complete rosters in the NFL following free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft, as they’ve addressed quite a few holes without losing much talent overall.

49ers News: George Kittle, Thunder fan?
49ers named ideal landing spot for two remaining NFL free agents“The veteran has a physical inside presence, using his power to displace defensive tackles,” Bowen wrote. “And he has the movement ability to pull on gap schemes, which fits into Kyle Shanahan’s system. “Zeitler also uses his strong base in protection, ranking 37th out of […]
49ers news: Is Kyle Shanahan “pass happy” as a playcaller?
The San Francisco 49ers offense is a top-efficient group led by head coach and playcaller Kyle Shanahan. 2023 was a banner season for the offense as the team put up a ton of points and yardage on its way to a Super Bowl berth. Last season, Shanahan and the offense impressed; despite the massive injuries, […]

49ers 90-in-90: Do the numbers match the eye test for Deommodore Lenoir?
Deommodore Lenoir played over 1,000 snaps on the perimeter at cornerback last season. He was primarily a nickel in 2024, while splitting time at both spots in 2023. It hadn’t been since 2022 that Lenoir had all but exclusively played on the outside for the San Francisco 49ers. That was back when Lenoir was a […]
How many division wins will the 49ers finish with in 2026?
When the San Francisco 49ers have been at their best, it’s because they dominated the NFC West. Despite a season full of injuries to their best players in 2026, the 49ers managed to go 4-2 in the division.

49ers News: One week closer
Could 49ers’ Week 1 be one of the better prime-time games of the year?“With the game in Australia and it being the first week, something tells me it might be a bit of a mixed bag. Will it be good? Probably. The No. 3 prime-time game of the year? I doubt it. I’m expecting a […]
