It was an impressive year for the 49ers, all things considered, as they found […]
The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks will be playing in Santa Clara in two weeks for the Super Bowl. The San Francisco 49ers entered the 2025 season with one of the highest-projected win totals in the NFL. They reached that mark, yet despite all of the injuries, it felt like the team overachieved. The […]
Just over a week on from the end of an impressive 2025 season in which they exceeded most people’s expectations, the 49ers will have quickly internally turned their attention to planning for the 2026 campaign. With college All-Star games taking place this week, those preparations are set to step up as the Niners take steps […]
The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots are off to the Super Bowl. In a league where teams are chasing the next great thing, whether it’s a scheme, coach, or player, the league will attempt to emulate Seattle and New England’s success to some capacity this offseason.

NFL insider predicts 49ers could trade Mac Jones to this NFC team“”Everybody, Minnesota would be a fun idea,” Breer responded. “The Vikings will bring in competition for J.J. McCarthy, but may have to do it on a budget.” Source: 49ers gave Robert Saleh permission to hire assistant coach Greg Scruggs“The 49ers gave permission to new Tennessee […]
The two best teams in the NFL all season meet in the NFC Championship to represent the conference in the Super Bowl.

NFL analyst predicts 49ers “will go for a defensive overhaul”“One of the most interesting predictions came from Solak, who wrote, “The 49ers will go for a defensive overhaul. Expect the 49ers to pursue John Franklin-Myers, an old pal of Saleh from his Jets days, and Trey Hendrickson, who makes sense on a one-year deal. They could swing […]
Wide receiver or edge rusher? Which do you think is more needed? It’s pretty obvious the San Francisco 49ers will need to do something with their wide receiver group. Regardless of whether they can get Jauan Jennings back, Ricky Pearsall missed a lot of time in 2025. Let’s not forget Kendrick Bourne is a free […]
We’re back with a mailbag for what I call “Exit Week.” This is the week the 49ers coaching staff meets with the players one last time, gives a few words of advice, and then shifts to planning for the 2026 team. Most of my thoughts are on optimism. The 49ers have a lot of work […]
Legendary 49ers QB, Bay Area native John Brodie dies at 90, team announces“Brodie played his entire 17-year NFL career with the 49ers after being the No. 3 overall pick in the 1957 NFL Draft out of Stanford. He played in 201 games with the 49ers, second-most in franchise history behind only Jerry Rice. Brodie ranks […]
This is a strange time for San Francisco 49ers fans. The team qualified for the NFC playoffs, but isn’t playing in the NFC Championship game. For those unaware, the Niners under Kyle Shanahan either miss the playoffs altogether or at least play in the NFC title game. To make things worse, the two NFC teams […]
The Pro Football Writers of America announced San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey was voted the 2025 NFL Comeback Player of the Year after missing 13 games in 2024. McCaffrey led the NFL in receiving yards by a running back and had the second-most yards from scrimmage in the league in 2025. San Francisco’s […]
When San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch spoke earlier in the week, one of the questions he answered was about the team’s plan this offseason. After a long-winded answer, Lynch said, “We will have a little more flexibility this year, and we’re excited about that.” The 49ers could theoretically gain more salary cap space […]
Between DeMeco Ryans and Robert Saleh twice now, the San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator has produced three head coaching gigs in half a decade. The easy conclusion is that this is a desirable job as it’s been a springboard for multiple head coaching jobs. Any success with a team that has the brand of the […]
The 2025 season is done, and the final press conference with John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan wrapped up on Wednesday. The 49ers need another defensive coordinator for the third straight season and face tough questions about their roster and roster construction philosophy.

Brandon Aiyuk is gone. What’s next for the 49ers at wide receiver? How about some speed? (paywall) “The 49ers have speed on the roster. Cowing and Watkins both ran sub-4.4-second 40-yard dashes before their respective drafts, and Pearsall clocked 4.41 seconds before his. But none could stay on the field in 2025. Cowing suffered a […]
The San Francisco 49ers had quite the season this year, winning 13 games despite a slew of injuries, including a road playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles before bowing out. A big part of that success was backup quarterback Mac Jones, who weathered the storm when starter Brock Purdy was out, going 5-3 in eight […]
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported that the Atlanta Falcons blocked the San Francisco 49ers after requesting an interview with secondary coach Justin Hood.

Previously, he worked as a […]
The San Francisco 49ers are back into offseason mode, and one position that’s always talked about with the team at this time of the year is the defensive line. San Francisco has been known for having an elite defensive line during the Kyle Shanahan era, but it hasn’t reached that standard the last two seasons, […]
The Seattle Seahawks made the San Francisco 49ers look slow on both sides of the ball. The defense struggled to catch up to Kenneth Walker and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, while the pass catchers couldn’t run away from Seattle’s secondary. Outside of a couple of routes, that was true in the Wild Card round against the Philadelphia […]
The San Francisco 49ers took a different approach to free agency this past offseason, electing to shed veteran salaries and clear their books more, while also letting several players depart in free agency. In return, the 49ers didn’t make any major splash signing, with Luke Farrell’s three-year, $15.75 million contract being the biggest they handed […]
The San Francisco 49ers’ wide receiver play was up and down all season. For the first month of the season, Ricky Pearsall was their clear go-to threat. However, Pearsall’s PCL injury cost him a good chunk of the season, forcing him to battle through injuries, even after returning in the second half. One player who […]
