DJ Moore trade helps put perspective on any 49ers potential WR trade
The assumption is that the San Francisco 49ers will swing for a wide receiver this offseason. How big that swing will be might be determined by the market. The 49ers could use a first-round pick on a wide receiver for the second time in three years. After the Chicago Bears just traded DJ Moore to […]
The 49ers were once again among the five-most injured teams in 2025
When you can’t explain something that has consistently been an issue, you grasp at straws—like an electrical substation. Anybody following the San Francisco 49ers can’t pinpoint the root cause of the injuries that were once again a problem in 2025. The annual adjusted games lost article is out. In a surprise to nobody, the 49ers […]
What should the 49ers address in free agency vs. the draft?
The San Francisco 49ers are in a prime position to upgrade their roster this offseason, having ample cap space and draft capital to make a push in 2026. Now, they will need to get their affairs in order (namely an extension for Trent Williams), but there should be cap space to make several moves in […]
3 under the radar Wide Receiver additions for the 49ers in free agency
The legal tampering period begins in five days as free agency in the NFL kicks off. The San Francisco 49ers are in a complete remodel of their wide receiver room. The top three options in 2023 (Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and Jauan Jennings) could all be in different uniforms, leaving Ricky Pearsall as the de […]
Golden Nuggets: Congrats and good luck to new 49ers TE coach, Cameron Clemmons
Dueling 49ers mock drafts: Who drafted better? (Paywall)“Barrows: Cashius Howell, edge, Texas A&M: Yeah, yeah, I know — he has short arms. Howell’s levers measured just 30 1/4 inches at the combine, meaning he’d have the stubbiest arms of any Round 1 edge defender this century if the 49ers took him here. His arms weren’t […]
49ers hire from within to replace TEs coach that left for Seahawks OC job
The San Francisco 49ers lost one of their longtime assistants earlier this offseason when the Seattle Seahawks hired tight ends coach Brian Fleury to be their next offensive coordinator. Fleury was hired by the 49ers in 2019 after working with the Miami Dolphins, initially starting as a defensive quality control coach. He had previous experience […]
49ers have perfect opportunity for Mac Jones trade that makes sense
The 49ers know how valuable Mac Jones was last season, and all the reports to this point have insisted they do not intend to trade their backup quarterback. San Francisco’s reluctance to part with a player whom they smartly signed to a two-year contract last offseason is understandable, but the reality is that, save for […]
49ers listed as a team to ‘keep an eye on’ for Mike Evans
The rumor mill is churning after the NFL Combine. We’re under a week away from finding out who the San Francisco 49ers covet in free agency. According to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, the Niners are a potential landing spot for free agent wide receiver Mike Evans, who has “a real chance he will take […]
Rams’ trade with the Chiefs widens the talent gap between the 49ers
The Los Angeles Rams and the Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to a deal in which the Rams receive cornerback Trent McDuffie, while the Chiefs receive the No. 29 pick in this year’s draft, as well as the Rams’ fifth- and sixth-round picks. Additionally, the Chiefs sent a 2027 third-round pick to the Rams. McDuffie […]
There’s been ‘no progress’ in the past week with the 49ers and Trent Williams
NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo provided an update about Trent Williams contract and whether the San Francisco 49ers have made any progress within the past week: From my understanding, there’s been no progress from the past week when the 49ers talked about the optimism that they would get a new deal with Williams to remain with […]
The 49ers have met with a pass rusher consistently mocked in the 1st round
The least surprising thing come the NFL Draft would be for the San Francisco 49ers to select another pass rusher in the 1st round. When general manager John Lynch spoke at the NFL Combine, he was pretty blunt in saying it was an area where the 49ers would address: “I think you always want to […]
Golden Nuggets: Greenard emerges as an intriguing trade target for the 49ers
49ers linked to Vikings pass rusher Jonathan Greenard amid trade report “A lot of the 49ers’ inability to generate pass rush last year was the byproduct of Nick Bosa missing most of the year after he tore his ACL,” DeArdo wrote. “But even with Bosa slated to make a full recovery, it would still make sense […]
Another top pass rusher could be available this offseason via trade
With the NFL franchise deadline coming and going today, there were several key players who will hit the open market this offseason, including Cincinnati Bengals star pass rusher Trey Hendrickson. Other notable free agents that didn’t receive the franchise tag included Baltimore Ravens center Tyler Linderbaum, Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Odafe Oweh, Indianapolis Colts […]
Why Year 3 for Ricky Pearsall is so critical for the 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers’ wide receiver room is going to look drastically different in 2026. Jauan Jennings and Brandon Aiyuk are departing, with Deebo Samuel leaving this past offseason after signing with Washington. The top three wide receivers from 2023 will be in different uniforms. Surely the 49ers expected one or two to depart, but […]
49ers double down on offense in post-NFL Combine 2-round mock draft
Now that the NFL Combine has passed, the athletic testing can confirm any priors or show whether a prospect stood out in a positive or negative way. That can be a tool to go back and see what you missed. The San Francisco 49ers have several needs to address in the coming months. In ESPN’s […]
49ers re-sign 40-year-old long snapper Jon Weeks to a one-year extension
The San Francisco 49ers announced they have re-signed long-snapper Jon Weeks to a one-year extension. Weeks appeared in all 17 games last season with the Niners, where he was named a Pro Bowler for the second time in his career. That’s one third of the special teams trio. Kicker Eddy Pineiro is an unrestricted free […]
Applying 49ers DC Raheem Morris’s draft history to the DTs from the NFL Combine
This defensive tackle class in the upcoming NFL Draft isn’t short on options if the San Francisco 49ers are looking for a pass-rushing alternative to what’s already on the roster. The recent news that the team didn’t place a tender on Kalia Davis is a sign that defensive coordinator Raheem Morris’s voice will be heard […]
49ers free agency profile: Is Joel Bitonio the stopgap answer at left guard?
Until the Trent Williams situation has a resolution, the San Francisco 49ers’ biggest need along the offensive line is at left guard. The left guard spot was a revolving door in 2025 due to health and skill issues after Aaron Banks left for not-so-green pastures in Green Bay last offseason. Since Banks left, these players […]
John Lynch’s previous comments on Bryce Lance come into focus after stunning Combine
Next month will mark half a decade since the 49ers made the defining draft mistake of the Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch era. The decision to trade three first-round picks to move up from 12th to third in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft and select quarterback Trey Lance proved a gigantic misstep, […]
Golden Nuggets: It wouldn’t be a 49ers offseason without rampant trade speculation
49ers reportedly moving on from DT Kalia Davis “According to Jordan Schultz, the 49ers do not plan to place a tender on the restricted free agent, allowing him to hit the open market.” Report: 49ers in play for Maxx Crosby; Mac Jones trade market cools “The San Francisco 49ers are seemingly one of a dozen […]
The 49ers won’t place a tender on Kalia Davis, allowing him to become an unrestricted free agent
According to Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports, the San Francisco 49ers will not place a tender on Kalia Davis, allowing the would-be restricted free agent to become an unrestricted free agent. From the personnel side of things, the 49ers should be thrilled they were able to get 17 starts this past season from the 42nd […]
49ers exit interviews, LB: Is the answer next to Fred Warner on the roster?
The San Francisco 49ers came into the year hoping Dee Winters could hold up after an injury-plagued 2024. Winters couldn’t stay off the injury report, and, despite working his way into the rotation at various points earlier in the year, didn’t see the field fully until a certain linebacker called it quits. After 2024, imagine […]
The 49ers could promote from within after losing Brian Fleury to the Seahawks
The San Francisco 49ers will need to replace Brian Fleury, who will now call plays for the Seattle Seahawks. Fleury had served as the tight end coach and run game coordinator for the Niners.

Rams, not 49ers, are among 7 teams listed in the Maxx Crosby sweepstakes
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer said in his Monday morning column, “I’d lean toward a Maxx Crosby trade happening, and maybe this week.” As far as compensation, Breer said it’s unlikely the Las Vegas Raiders receive the haul they got for Khalil Mack eight years ago, what the Dallas Cowboys got for Micah Parsons last year, […]
