When it comes to offseason needs for the San Francisco 49ers, wide receiver is near or atop that list, with the team potentially needing to replace two starters this offseason. Jauan Jennings, a seventh-round pick back in 2020, is a free agent and could command a hefty salary on the open market after recording over […]
The San Francisco 49ers are fully in offseason mode, with the NFL Combine starting up this week and free agency soon to follow. After a 13-win year that included a playoff win, the 49ers are in a good spot to grow this offseason, having the resources to spend in free agency, while also having seven […]
Yesterday, the Brewers finally picked up their first Cactus League win behind Tyler Black’s six (!!) RBIs. They’ll be looking to make it two straight in today’s matchup with the San Francisco Giants, who haven’t lost a game yet this spring. Carlos Rodriguez, who appeared in four games last year, will be on the mound […]
Mike Tomlin shocked many when he stepped down as the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach on Jan. 13 after 19 seasons with the team. The Steelers moved quickly by hiring Mike McCarthy, but the impact that Tomlin had on the league will last for years to come. At the 2026 NFL Combine, Behind the Steel Curtain […]
As we talk about the San Francisco 49ers contract situation with left tackle Trent Williams, it only makes sense to discuss potential options at the end of the first round, or if they trade out to acquire more picks—or trade up if there’s a player they covet—to be the potential heir to their future Hall […]
The San Francisco 49ers have been consistent this offseason in saying that they want Mac Jones back in 2026. A month ago, Kyle Shanahan said he’d be “very surprised” if Jones weren’t on the team this upcoming season. Every time either Shanahan or John Lynch speaks on the subject, it feels like the team is […]
*In an effort to make the nomination voting easier for everyone, I will comment, “NOMINATIONS”, and you may reply to that with your picks and upvote the player you’d like to see on the next nominee list. Taking the 18th spot on our annual Community Prospect List is speedy and powerful outfielder Junior Perez. Always one […]
There is no doubt, the Las Vegas Raiders will look to add to the wide-receiver position this offseason. Clearly, new head coach Klint Kubiak will have a role identifying some targets. While it won’t be a surprise, at all, if Kubiak, who was the Seattle Seahawks’ offensive coordinator in 2025, helps pursue Seahawks’ wide receiver […]
Another year, another 49ers contract dispute. And for the second time in three years, there is an impasse involving arguably the most important player on the San Francisco offense, All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams. Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the 49ers are struggling to find a “contractual solution” to address the fact that Williams is set […]
Happy Wednesday, A’s fans. There is no Athletics baseball today, as the team has a day off to right the ship and regroup. The A’s have been outscored 33-4 through their first four spring games — all losses by sizable margins. Last season, the A’s offense was one of the best in the league, yet […]
In the event of a miracle and my plane doesn’t crash, I will touch down in Arizona March 13th ready to conduct a few interviews on the 14th. Hopefully by then the A’s will have put a win on the board. Many considerations go into who I sit down with. Some players might not even […]
Some fans choose their team, and some fans are chosen by their team. Which was it for you? Today, we want to hear your story from you: How you became a fan of the 49ers. When did you first become a fan? Were you born into it? Was there a specific game or season that […]
When the San Francisco Giants somewhat surprisingly signed second baseman Luis Arráez, I wrote a newser about it. It got nearly 900 comments. The next day, I asked the community how they felt about the signing. It got over 1,100 comments. My takeaway is that Giants fans love to talk about Luis Arráez. So let’s […]
49ers, Trent Williams locked in contract dispute that reportedly could end in his release (paywall)“The 49ers have little financial incentive to part with Williams. The 49ers would earn $4.69 million in salary cap space by releasing Williams, but such a move would trigger a $34.15 million dead-money charge. In addition, the 49ers don’t have a […]
The Athletics continued their terrible start to spring training, losing 10-0 to the Milwaukee Brewers. This afternoon, the Brewers took an early lead and never looked back on their way to the blowout victory. The A’s offense, full of regulars for the game’s first six innings, was once again asleep as the team only got […]
The Brewers and Athletics both entered Tuesday’s game seeking their first Cactus League win but it was the Brewers who were able to get it in very convincing fashion. Tyler Black was the star of the show today, getting things started by following a single from Blake Perkins with a two-run homer down the right […]
The San Francisco Giants didn’t bring a lot of regulars to Tempe on Tuesday. Their entire star-studded infield was given a day to explore Scottsdale’s thriving restaurant scene, and perhaps try to relive the magic of the Waste Management Open at one of the city’s many notable golf courses. The crew that made the six-mile […]
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Tuesday afternoon that the San Francisco 49ers and left tackle Trent Williams are struggling to find a contract solution that could potentially lead to Williams’ release this offseason. The timing comes as the NFL Combine is underway, and that’s generally when we hear about free agency rumors like this one. […]
The San Francisco 49ers are welcoming back an old friend to the front office. No, it’s not Trent Baalke. Former Minnesota Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah will be back in the fold as a personnel executive, according to general manager John Lynch. Adofo-Mensah has been in the building and around; the 49ers are just waiting […]
Free agency is just a couple of weeks away, and there could be an unexpected name joining the group: San Francisco 49ers star left tackle Trent Williams. Williams has been a bookend left tackle in San Francisco for the past six seasons, earning five Pro Bowl honors, three First-Team All-Pro selections, and one Second-Team All-Pro […]
ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. released his latest mock draft, and the San Francisco 49ers invested in the offensive line for the first time in the first round since Mike McGlinchey. It’s something we can expect to be popular in every mock draft cycle, but it’s 49ers offensive line coach Chris Foerster who is on record […]
Following three straight disappointing performances to open spring training, the Athletics will host the Milwaukee Brewers this afternoon, each team looking for their first Cactus League victory. Right-handed pitcher Mason Barnett will start today for the A’s. The A’s acquired Barnett from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for reliever Lucas Erceg at the 2024 […]
San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch takes the podium at 5:30 PM EST in Indianapolis at the NFL Scouting Combine to address media members. Coming off a very successful 12-win season, especially considering the injury circumstances, Lynch should have a sizable crowd and will have to answer some difficult questions. What are some of […]
The Cactus Crew still hasn’t been able to get their first win of spring training after losing a late lead against the Padres on Monday. Today they’ll be traveling again to face the not-Oakland-not-Las-Vegas-but-not-Sacramento Athletics. Lefty Rob Zastryzny will get the start today for the Brewers. Righty Mason Barnett is the scheduled starter for the […]
Following a 12-win season and a Wild Card round victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, the San Francisco 49ers find themselves in an arms race with the Los Angeles Rams and Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. Seattle may lose a piece or two, but it has shown how quickly it can retool in the draft, and […]
