Breaking down the incentives in 49ers’ WR Deebo Samuel’s contract
Spotrac has an in-depth breakdown of Deebo Samuel’s contract and every incentive the San Francisco 49ers gave him.

The Rams will fly into Australia the day before playing the 49ers
We’re still a little over a month away from the San Francisco 49ers’ season opener against the Los Angeles Rams. If you’ve been away all summer, the game won’t be played in California. Instead, it’ll be the first-ever game in Australia. The way that each team is handling the travel schedule is vastly different. According […]
49ers rookie Jaden Dugger… the pass rusher?
Injuries have forced the San Francisco 49ers’ hand. Rookie Jaden Dugger, a collegiate safety turned linebacker—he was all-conference at both positions —is now practicing with the defensive linemen. That’s what the battle of attrition has already done for the coaching staff. Dugger went from practicing with the off-ball linebackers to doing the same individual drills […]

Ji’Ayir Brown says the previous 49ers schemes didn’t want football players. Raheem Morris does
Steve Wilks, Nick Sorensen, Robert Saleh. One of those names is not like the others, though all three were the San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinators each of the last three years. Wilks and Sorensen were fired after one year while Saleh left in the offseason to become head coach of the Tennessee Titans. That should […]

49ers fans believe we’ll see George Kittle playing before Mykel Williams
George Kittle continues to progress from his January surgery that repaired a torn right Achilles tendon. The San Francisco 49ers are kind of caught in limbo with what to do with Kittle, as it sounds like there is uncertainty whether Kittle will be ready for Week 1. And while he’s currently on the Active/PUP List, […]
49ers WR Mike Evans’ quad strain believed to be ‘not too serious’
The hits keep coming for the San Francisco 49ers. Wide receiver Mike Evans isn’t practicing on Monday due to a quad strain.

3 questions for the 49ers at running back
Running back was a revolving door for the San Francisco 49ers in the first few years of the Kyle Shanahan era. But that all changed when the 49ers acquired Christian McCaffrey in the 2022 season. Now, it’s hard for any running back not named McCaffrey to get consistent carries, and for good reason, with McCaffrey […]
49ers News: Welcome to the Bay, Khalil Herbert
49ers sign RB Khalil Herbert and former Colts 6th-round edge rusher; waive Eli Apple“Herbert played sparingly in 2025 with the Jets. The 28-year-old was once viewed as a promising, big-play threat. He entered the NFL with 4.48 speed, but injuries have since zapped some of that explosive ability. Herbert will likely spell Kaelon Black and […]

The Golden Fool’s Mailbag: Mykel Williams/George Kittle return, 49ers injuries, Kyle Shanahan
Remember these? We’re digging back into the mailbag to answer your questions. The one answering them probably is the least insightful person on this site, but hey, we have fun doing it, right? So far, foot is in my mouth for De’Zhaun Stribling. I was very lukewarm on the pick initially and now I think […]
49ers News: More injuries. Checks calendar. Yup, it’s August alright
49ers’ Deebo Samuel arrives in ‘really good shape,’ makes waves in first practice (paywall)“The 49ers practiced without top pick De’Zhaun Stribling, who’s dealing with hamstring tightness.

Adam Schefter: 49ers, Deebo Samuel have been talking for weeks
With Ricky Pearsall’s 2026 uncertain, the 49ers needed to prepare for the worst, and Deebo Samuel being signed Thursday was that preparation. According to Adam Schefter, it wasn’t so much of a knee-jerk reaction to Pearsall’s PCL injury as it may appear. Appearing on the Pat McAfee show, Schefter broke down what led to Samuel’s […]
Ricky Pearsall waiting to have surgery on PCL wasn’t avoidance; it was medically sound
Ricky Pearsall is currently out of the San Francisco 49ers’ training camp with a PCL injury, and initial reports say he might be out for much longer than that. While it did give us the return of Deebo Samuel to fill the wide receiver spot in an extended Pearsall absence, it’s rather concerning for Pearsall, […]
