Mykel Williams led NFL in statistic that illustrates his importance to 2026 49ers
The 49ers knew the 2025 NFL Draft would be a hugely important one for the future of their team and particularly their defense. San Francisco focused heavily on that side of the ball last year, spending each of the franchise’s first five picks on defense and using six selections in total on that unit. Though […]

Gus Bradley gets a DC job with Robert Saleh
Gus Bradley is becoming a defensive coordinator this offseason. Only it’s not with the San Francisco 49ers. The Tennessee Titans are hiring Bradley to become their next defensive coordinator under recently-hired head coach Robert Saleh, according to Albert Breer. Bradley and Saleh were together on the 49ers staff this past season, and Bradley was in […]
Is it time for the 49ers to draft George Kittle’s replacement?
The San Francisco 49ers have a lot of opportunity to bolster their roster this offseason, as they’ll have ample cap space to make moves if desired, while also holding seven projected draft picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. While the 49ers do have a couple of holes to address (pass rush among them), it could […]
Should the 49ers move on from Bryce Huff this offseason?
The San Francisco 49ers ended up trading a fifth-round pick for Bryce Huff to the Philadelphia Eagles. While Huff remains under contract for another season, he, like many others on the Niners defense, has zero ties to new defensive coordinator Raheem Morris. The 49ers wanted Huff to complement Nick Bosa and take the pass rush […]
Raheem Morris primer: What to expect from the 49ers defense and how each position is impacted
When the San Francisco 49ers interviewed only three candidates for the defensive coordinator job, it felt like the two minority candidates were nothing more than a formality before hiring Gus Bradley. We will see if Bradley heads elsewhere after the 49ers hired Raheem Morris to replace Robert Saleh as their defensive coordinator. There was speculation […]
Former 49ers DB coach Daniel Bullocks is headed to Green Bay
When you went to the San Francisco 49ers team page at any point during the past week, you noticed there were two things that were different. Robert Saleh wasn’t on there anymore. That made sense, as Saleh had accepted a head coaching position in the AFC. But defensive backs coach Daniel Bullocks was nowhere to […]
Could key Falcons free agent follow Raheem Morris to the 49ers?
At some point this week, Raheem Morris will officially be announced as the 49ers’ defensive coordinator. After accepting the opportunity to once again work with old friend Kyle Shanahan, Morris will be tasked with elevating a young defense that still has plenty of issues back towards the top of the NFL. Despite plenty of flashes […]

49ers go offensive line in NFL.com mock draft
The San Francisco 49ers obviously have needs in the 2026 season, but none more so than both offensive and defensive lines. We’ve wondered if this would be the year they take an offensive tackle in the first round, and this latest mock draft from NFL.com’s Eric Edholm addresses the inevitable moment in the (hopefully distant) […]
Golden Nuggets: Welcome to the 49ers, Raheem!
49ers set to hire Raheem Morris as DC, reuniting him with Kyle Shanahan (paywall)“On the heels of Robert Saleh, a disciple to a wide 9 and 4-3 defensive scheme, Morris does not present the most seamless transition. The last time he called defensive plays was in a 3-4 defense as Rams defensive coordinator from 2021-23. Los […]
Kyle Shanahan bringing in old friend to fill 49ers’ defensive coordinator spot
The 49ers have settled on their replacement for Robert Saleh and, despite plenty of talk about them staying in-house for his successor, they have decided against going with the continuity of Gus Bradley.

Golden Nuggets: One more week of this for 49ers fans
49ers Insider Drops Strong Message on Browns DC Jim Schwartz “[Schwartz] is a guy who obviously Kyle Shanahan respects a lot,” Lee Chan said in her YouTube video published on Jan. 30. “I don’t know that he’s the best fit for the 49ers and how they’re built defensively. 49ers are built to rush from the […]
Report: NFL Projects 2026 salary cap as high as $305.7 million
All that’s left is the Super Bowl, and then football, the greatest sport, ends. That means the second-greatest sport begins: Waiting for football to start. And part of waiting is anticipating the 2026 salary cap. The San Francisco 49ers could be a lot more active in 2026 free agency. For 2025, they tried to address […]
Eddie DeBartolo on going 31 years without a championship: “I wouldn’t”
Over on the feed, you may have seen a snippet from former San Francisco 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo on the team’s 31-year drought to a Lombardi Trophy. When asked how frustrating it would be as an owner to go 31 years without a championship, DeBartolo said it as succinctly as possible: “I wouldn’t.” Obviously, this […]

49ers FB Kyle Juszczyk says substation talk has been a thing in the locker room ‘for years’
It wouldn’t be a week of dialogue without somebody from the San Francisco 49ers sharing their thoughts about the substation and how it relates to injuries, would it? In an interview with Front Office Sports, 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk was asked about the electric facility next door to the team’s practice facility, to which Juszczyk […]
49ers Draft profile: EDGE Zion Young
Well, it’s draft season. So, not profiling multiple defensive linemen would be a mistake for the San Francisco 49ers’ projections. Toss in how unproductive the pass rush was last season, and we could be looking at two or three more defensive linemen added to the fold for whoever the 49ers choose for defensive coordinator. Nick […]
What was the 49ers biggest regret from the 2025 offseason?

It goes without saying […]
One projection has 49ers WR Jauan Jennings making more than Deebo Samuel in free agency
One of the biggest questions this offseason surrounding the San Francisco 49ers is whether they try to re-sign wide receiver Jauan Jennings. Spotrac’s market projection of $22 million for Jennings is a sign that the Niners will look elsewhere. If you were of the mindset that Jennings wouldn’t receive that much on the open market, […]
Golden Nuggets: Raheem Morris, also an intriguing option for the 49ers
Source: 49ers interview three candidates for defensive coordinator position“Morris previously worked with Shanahan in Washington and Atlanta.

49ers should replicate Packers’ approach in addressing key roster issue
The 49ers face a number of dilemmas this offseason, with the situation at the wide receiver position chief among them. Once a clear strong point of their roster, the 49ers’ receiving corps is a shadow of what it once was. Brandon Aiyuk has played his last snap as a 49er and the same could soon […]
49ers Draft Profile: Why Indiana WR Elijah Sarratt is a good fit
The San Francisco 49ers need to add to their wide receiver room with the departure of Brandon Aiyuk and potentially Jauan Jennings, and there are concerns over Ricky Pearsall’s durability to last a full season in the NFL. To begin the season in Seattle, Marquez Valdez-Scantling and Russell Gage took meaningful snaps at receiver. In […]
Fred Warner says he would’ve played in NFC Championship Game if 49ers made it
The San Francisco 49ers got to see star linebacker Fred Warner back on the practice field before the season was over, as his practice window was opened ahead of their divisional round matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.
