The salary cap has been set for 2026
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 […]
49ers free agency profile: Is Dre’Mont Jones a good veteran fit?
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 […]
3 players the 49ers should look at after Day 1 of the NFL Combine on-field drills?
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, […]
49ers receive positive grades on NFLPA report card everywhere besides the obvious
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.

Golden Nuggets: News of 49ers meeting draft prospects are starting to roll in
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, […]
It’s time to talk trades for the 49ers
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 […]
The 49ers have met with 19 prospects so far during NFL Draft season
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 […]
Former 49ers second-rounder is given an 80% chance to get traded this offseason
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 […]
The 49ers offered the Jets a Day 2 pick for Jermaine Johnson at the trade deadline last year
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 […]
Recent QB trades might point to compensation for the 49ers in a Mac Jones trade
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 […]
49ers News: The NFL Combine officially kicks off today
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 […]
Lynch on WR need: ‘We’ve got some young players that we really need to come to the forefront’
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.

John Lynch identifies top need for 49ers this offseason
The San Francisco 49ers are fully in offseason mode, with the NFL Combine starting up this week and free agency soon to follow.

49ers draft: 5 options at offensive tackles in the 1st round
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 […]
49ers GM John Lynch on trading Mac Jones: It would take a ‘fairly strong’ offer
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 […]
The 49ers have no option but to find an agreement with Trent Williams
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 […]

Golden Nuggets: Would it be a 49ers offseason without a gnarly contract dispute?
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 […]

Former Vikings GM will rejoin the 49ers as a personnel executive
The San Francisco 49ers are welcoming back an old friend to the front office. No, it’s not Trent Baalke.

Adofo-Mensah has been in the building and around; the 49ers are just waiting […]
49ers struggling to amend Trent Williams contract, could lead to him becoming FA
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 […]
49ers go heavy in Mel Kiper’s latest mock draft
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.

3 burning questions for 49ers GM John Lynch at today’s press conference
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.

What is the 49ers biggest positional need this offseason?
Following a 12-win season and a Wild Card round victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, the San Francisco 49ers find themselves in an arms race with the Los Angeles Rams and Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. Seattle may lose a piece or two, but it has shown how quickly it can retool in the draft, and […]
49ers free agency profile: Why splurging on Alec Pierce isn’t a bad idea
Just two years ago, it felt like the San Francisco 49ers were set at wide receiver for the foreseeable future with Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel locked into long-term contracts. Well, the foreseeable future has already passed, and now it seems the 49ers are due for a hard reset at the position. Jauan Jennings, Kendrick […]
