Latest news and updates about the 49ers
Omar Cooper Jr., WR, Indiana The 49ers are just about as well run of an organization as you’ll find in the NFL under Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch. They draft well (generally), make shrewd moves in free agency, and reward their players in a sustainable way. Their offensive scheme is often at the forefront of […]

NFL teams are going through various exercises ahead of the NFL Draft. The goal is to prepare yourself for any potential unexpected scenario while you’re on the clock.

There’s a handful of names, like Mike Evans, Christian Kirk, Osa Odighizuwa, Robert Jones, and Brett Toth, all without numbers. As long as he’s been in the public eye, Mike Evans has worn the same number. Since 2012, when […]
The San Francisco 49ers are hosting Oklahoma defender Kendal Daniels for a visit, per NFL Insider Aaron Wilson. Daniels is 6’5, 242 pounds.

The San Francisco 49ers did not re-sign punter Thomas Morstead this offseason. Instead, they elected to add former Pittsburgh Steelers punter Corliss Waitman.

NFL Insider Aaron Wilson reported that special teams coordinator Brant Boyer met virtually with former Syracuse punter Jack Stonehouse on […]
Each draft season, 49ers fans scream about investing in the offensive line with valuable draft capital.

The highest draft picks for linemen have been tackle Mike McGlinchey, guard Aaron […]

The 2026 NFL Draft is inching closer and closer, and all eyes are on what the San Francisco 49ers will do at No. 27. Having a late first-round pick in a draft that isn’t considered very top-heavy has led to a lot of speculation on who the 49ers could consider with their first selection. The […]

The San Francisco 49ers are penciled in to select an edge rusher, or add one via trade, at some point during draft weekend. When you’re picking at the tail end of the first round, the odds of you landing an impact player on the EDGE are slim. That’s not an opinion. That’s based on history. […]

Williams’ current deal has a base salary of $32.2 million in 2026. There are no remaining guarantees, which is why Williams is seeking […]
The upcoming NFL Draft is expected to have more trades due to the lack of depth. It makes sense for a team like the San Francisco 49ers to potentially move up, whether that’s if a prospect falls in the first round or if they feel like they need to jump into the third round. There […]
