49ers stock up, stock down: Who is poised for a jump in Year 2?
Over the past few offseasons, the San Francisco 49ers have looked to rely more on younger players, as they’ve let a number of veterans walk in free agency while making 19 selections in the NFL Draft the last two years. Now, the 49ers are still quite an older team, rostering several starters who will be […]
The 49ers’ breakout candidate in 2026 is also their secret weapon on defense
ESPN’s Benjamin Solak went through breakout candidates for each team. For the San Francisco 49ers, he chose second-year cornerback Upton Stout: The 49ers’ defense was young, raw and outmatched for much of last season, so it can be tough to find the diamond in the rough. But that diamond is Stout, a third-rounder who started […]
Will the 49ers finish the season with a top-12 defense?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year, we ask questions of the most plugged-in Niners fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. The San Francisco 49ers’ best seasons under Kyle Shanahan have come behind dominant defenses, with 2023 […]
NFL evaluator reveals where 49ers’ Nick Bosa is still the best in the league
Nick Bosa endured familiar injury frustration in 2025 that prevented him from adding to his already comprehensive resume as one of the best pass rushers of his era. Understandably, a campaign in which he suffered a torn ACL in Week 3 dropped 49ers defensive end Bosa down the pecking order in the annual rankings of […]
49ers News: The entire 2026 rookie class is officially signed
Mac Jones on 49ers choosing Lance over him, why he was meant to join Shanahan“And I felt like I had really good interviews,” Jones said. “Kyle really liked what I was doing on Zoom. My Zoom setup was incredible. I had the whiteboard and all the right s–t. I’m like, I’m gonna do this right. […]
The 49ers have signed their entire rookie class
One day after signing edge rusher Romello Height, the San Francisco 49ers have signed fourth-round pick Gracen Halton to his four-year rookie deal on Tuesday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Halton, 22, stands 6’2, 293 pounds, and was taken with the No. 107 pick of the 2026 NFL Draft earlier this offseason. He had 84 […]
Which Kyle Shanahan-led 49ers team deserved a Super Bowl win?
Look, I promise I’m not trying to pick at an old wound or wounds. Under Kyle Shanahan, the San Francisco 49ers have won plenty of regular-season games and big playoff games. Unfortunately, the ultimate prize has eluded them. Many factors contribute to a Super Bowl win, including luck, believe it or not. The NFL playoff […]
49ers 90-in-90: Jordan Watkins reminds us of a pair of former Kyle Shanahan receivers
There’s always excitement around rookie wide receivers. That’s true for De’Zhaun Stribling this season, and it was true for Jordan Watkins last year. There’s a running joke about young wideouts on the San Francisco 49ers falling into Kyle Shanahan’s doghouse early in their careers. Shanahan explained why we didn’t see much of Watkins as a […]
49ers News: 11 days until Romello Height reports for training camp
49ers sign 3rd-round pick Romello Height to 4-yr, $7.3M deal“According to OverTheCap, Height’s four-year deal is worth approximately $7.33 million. It includes a signing bonus of about $1.79 million and carries a 2026 salary-cap hit of roughly $1.33 million.” NFL executives say 49ers’ Christian McCaffrey has ‘declined some’“You can’t mention McCaffrey without bringing up the […]
49ers announce they’ve signed rookie Romello Height to a four-year deal
The San Francisco 49ers announced the signing of rookie Romello Height to a four-year deal. Height, the first of two third-round picks, still participated during OTAs despite not being under contract. There was never a worry that he’d hold out into training camp. Per the CBA’s rookie wage scale, Height’s four-year deal totals $7.29 million. […]
ESPN believes the 49ers’ starting lineup is outside of the top 10 in the NFL
ESPN reviewed each team’s starting lineups on both sides of the ball to determine which team had the strongest roster in the NFL. They named the biggest strength, the weakness, the X-factor, and the non-starter to know. The San Francisco 49ers’ win total is among the highest in the NFL once again, suggesting this team […]
49ers fans are convinced who RB2 is behind Christian McCaffrey
Last week, we asked fans which player would have more yards from scrimmage on the San Francisco 49ers behind Christian McCaffrey. It’s our weekly survey question brought to you by FanDuel Sportsbook. They were the last two draft picks at the position: Kaelon Black and Jordan James. The results were not close, which was mildly […]
NFL executives say 49ers’ Christian McCaffrey has ‘declined some’
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler publishes an annual positional rankings list in which he talks to coaches and executives from around the league. They did running backs on Monday, so San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey was inevitably going to be on the list. The only question was where he’d be ranked. Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, […]
49ers News: Another Monday, another week, another former 49ers WR crashout
49ers Sunday Mailbag: Could McCaffrey and Bosa be Gone by Next Season?“I expect Raheem Morris will call more blitzes than Robert Saleh did last year, which means the 49ers should record more sacks but also give up more big plays than they did in 2025. Under Saleh, the 49ers defense was conservative to the max. […]
What was the best 49ers’ win in the last five years?
Every year around this time, I ask you what was the best victory the San Francisco 49ers had over the last five years. Last year, what many thought was the best win—the 2019 New Orleans Saints game — got bumped out of the five-year window. Regardless, I considered the NFC Championship Game in the 2023-2024 […]
Brock Purdy goes No. 10 on PFF’s 2026 quarterback rankings
While the majority of us can wonder just what’s going on with Brandon Aiyuk, let’s get a more divided argument going back into these parts: Brock Purdy. Pro Football Focus released its quarterback rankings for 2026. Obviously, we can already divide on specifically how PFF ranks players. They said their analysts put this together, asking […]
Brandon Aiyuk on Instagram: “Y’all need to abort the mission”
Brandon Aiyuk’s once cryptic posts on Instagram are more and more obvious—and less cryptic—by the day. The soon-to-be-former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver has continued his campaign, or at this point, plea, to get the 49ers to release him. Before we get to our main event, we’ll highlight some of the other things brought up […]
49ers News: Happy Fourth y’all!
Insider: If a QB goes down, the first call could be to the 49ers“If a starting quarterback goes down, you would have to believe that their first call is to the San Francisco 49ers for Mac Jones,” Palmer said this week. “You would have to think that would be the first call that they make. […]
The 3 defensive players under the most pressure for the 49ers in 2026
For the 49ers to improve on their run to the divisional round of the playoffs last season and truly contend for the Super Bowl in 2026, there needs to be a stark improvement on defense. Under Robert Saleh last season, the defense was able to close out games with key stops but, with injuries removing […]
49ers News: Need more George Kittle rookie hazing stories
49ers’ George Kittle shares hilarious ‘welcome to the NFL’ restroom story featuring Joe Staley“It’s one of those older, college bar vibes,” Kittle said. “So, the bathroom, it’s exactly what you think it looks like—like a rusty door that doesn’t really close, all that stuff. So, I’m peeing in the toilet in the stall, and there’s […]
Why the 49ers need another rotational pass rusher
The San Francisco 49ers’ pass rush was abysmal in 2025. Injuries ravaged the defensive line, unfortunately, which led to Clelin Ferrell and Bryce Huff tying with four sacks, leading the team in sacks, and the team finished with fewer sacks than Myles Garrett. It feels like a joke to type those words out, but it […]
NFL exec on 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk: ‘I couldn’t bring him into my locker room’
Not to jinx it, but it’s been a few days since we’ve seen San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk post on social media. There’s no telling what’s going through Aiyuk’s brain when he’s posting these videos and taking shots at the organization. What he’s failing to realize is that it’s costing him millions and […]
49ers could get even more money back from Brandon Aiyuk after latest antics
The San Francisco 49ers situation with disgruntled wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has continued throughout the offseason, with the wideout making several statements on social media against his current team as he remains under contract. Things have been downhill between the two sides after Aiyuk signed a major four-year extension back in the 2024 offseason. The […]
Who was the 49ers’ most underrated free-agent addition?
The San Francisco 49ers are expecting big things from Mike Evans this season. He’ll be Brock Purdy’s go-to target and open things up for everyone else on offense. He should allow George Kittle to take his time returning from an Achilles injury, as well as make life easier on Ricky Pearsall. That’s expected. Several other […]
49ers News: Levi’s has been blessed
49ers could recoup up to $18.4 million from Brandon Aiyuk“Not only will the 49ers not have to pay him another penny, whereas if he had just shown up, the 49ers would have been on the hook for $27 million for this year, it also enables the 49ers to get a lot of money back,” Maiocco […]
