The San Francisco 49ers have a big offseason ahead of them, as they’ll have money to spend in free agency and don’t have too many major pending free agents, unlike last offseason. When it comes to needs for the 49ers, you can make an argument to add at several positions. But some of the more […]
Earlier in the week, ESPN’s Adam Schefter posted on Twitter, “With teams considering the upcoming free-agent and draft classes to be subpar, there could be an uptick in trade activity this offseason.” Popular names in the free agent class include 32-year-old Trey Hendrickson, 33-year-old Mike Evans, 33-year-old All-Pro Kevin Byard, and the rights to overpay […]
It was fun while it lasted. ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted on Friday morning that the NFL informed all 32 teams in a memo that it prevailed in its grievance against the NFLPA and its “team report cards.” An arbitrator determined that the NFLPA’s conduct violated the CBA and ordered it to stop making public any […]
CJ West would be forgiven for feeling satisfied with his efforts in his rookie season with the 49ers. As a fourth-round pick, West was a consistent feature on the 49er defensive line in 2025 as San Francisco embraced its youth on defense, and he made obvious strides as his role became increasingly prominent over the […]

The San Francisco 49ers had one of the deepest draft classes in the NFL last offseason, taking 11 players in the 2025 NFL Draft, as they looked to get younger and add depth at key positions. Defense was the name of the game early, as the 49ers took defensive players with their first five picks […]
It was an eventful season for the San Francisco 49ers’ tight ends. George Kittle looked well on his way to another All-Pro year after four catches, a couple of first downs, and a touchdown against the eventual Super Bowl champions in the opening quarter of the season.

When you read that the San Francisco 49ers can create over $43 million in cap space with simple restructures, which is just turning salaries or roster bonuses into signing bonuses that can stretch over the lifetime of a player’s current contract, you’re probably thinking the team is in business and will be able to have […]
The San Francisco 49ers need to upgrade at wide receiver this offseason. An easy argument could be made that multiple upgrades are necessary.

As we get deeper into the offseason and talk about the San Francisco 49ers’ team needs, we’d be remiss if we ignored the draft picks that didn’t work out.

Teams will drive themselves crazy attempting to replicate the Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl run.

The San Francisco 49ers won 12 games in the regular season, […]
The San Francisco 49ers bringing Deebo Samuel back a year after he requested a trade would feel like a “vibes” move. The San Francisco 49ers bringing in Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs this offseason would feel like a move to address some of the issues the offense had in 2025. The 49ers need […]
During the weekend of the Super Bowl, there were clips of former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel hanging out with Trent Williams.

The San Francisco 49ers had another solid season, winning 13 games for the fourth time under head coach Kyle Shanahan, and advanced to the divisional round before being bounced by the eventual Super Bowl Champions, the Seattle Seahawks.

The San Francisco 49ers have plenty of moving parts on offense during 2025. Trent Williams began the season playing next to Ben Bartch, but that only lasted a game and nine snaps.
