Who is the best player under 25 for the 49ers?
The San Francisco 49ers boast one of the most top-heavy rosters in the NFL. At the same time, the cornerstone players are all over 30, with a few exceptions. The experience of the roster is invaluable. The team has been battle-tested, but the draft from last year and drafts moving forward will dictate the direction […]
Is Kyle Shanahan now the 3rd best coach in the NFC West?
For years, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan has been lauded as one of the best coaches in the NFL. But there have been two accomplishments that have eluded him: A Super Bowl and a Coach of the Year Award. Shanahan and the 49ers have been regular playoff contenders throughout his tenure, making four […]
2 undrafted free agents who can make the 49ers roster
On Monday, we discussed a couple of potential surprise cuts on the San Francisco 49ers. I went in-depth with Rob Lowder on the same topic. Where I had Demarcus Robinson falling victim to a numbers game, he believes the same could be true for wide receiver Christian Kirk. Today we’ll spin it to surprise makes. […]
One NFL exec ranked 49ers LB Fred Warner 5th in ESPN’s positional rankings
The San Francisco 49ers defense lost their star player, Nick Bosa, after a few games, and the pass rush never recovered. That unit fell off a cliff once Fred Warner dislocated his ankle. That Tampa Bay Buccaneers game is a perfect example of the respect Warner commands. Baker Mayfield didn’t think about throwing the ball […]
49ers News These Aaron Donald rumors are unideal :
49ers may not like Adam Schefter’s latest Aaron Donald update“He told the team that he wanted to go there, work out, see how he felt, see how he reacted, see everything that went along with being back in pads, on the football field, and seeing how it made him feel,” Schefter said. “Now, I don’t […]
2 surprise cut candidates for the 49ers ahead of training camp
The San Francisco 49ers report to training camp on July 25. We’re under a month away from a joint practice against the Tennessee Titans. Before you know it, the final cut-down date of August 30 will be here. With cut-down day under a month and a half away, we were thinking of potential surprise cuts […]
49ers fans are overwhelmingly confident in the defense heading into 2026
San Francisco 49ers fans are overwhelmingly confident that the defense will turn the corner after the previous two seasons and revert to what we saw during their deep playoff runs in 2022 and 2023. Any advanced stat you point to does not paint the 49ers defense in a positive light. That’s to be expected when […]
49ers roster preview: Wesley Grimes makes sense as a practice squad stash
The San Francisco 49ers’ undrafted rookie class featured a pair of wideouts who couldn’t be any different. You wouldn’t know Will Pauling was a professional athlete if he were walking down the street. He’s listed at 5’9″, 183 pounds. Wesley Grimes looks the part, 6’2″, 193 pounds. On a roster with Ricky Pearsall, Jordan Watkins, […]
Brock Purdy misses out on top-10 QBs list despite two ‘elite’ superpowers
Despite his consistent success since taking the reins of the 49er offense, Brock Purdy still isn’t viewed inside the league as one of the best quarterbacks in the game. That’s at least according to the latest ranking of the top-10 players at the most important position, compiled for ESPN by Jeremy Fowler through a poll […]
49ers News: Rookies reporting this week
Kyle Juszczyk raves about 49ers rookie ahead of training camp“I’ve been so impressed by Kaelon Black,” Juszczyk said. “He No. 1 is a ball of muscle. This guy is absolutely jacked and he’s explosive. That’s really what has stood out to me is how twitchy and explosive he gets through that hole….Been really impressed with […]
49ers minority owner Vinod Khosla issued an important stipulation after Seahawks’ purchase
Vinod Khosla, the co-founder of Sun Microsystems back in the 1980s, and the Khosla family agreed to purchase the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday for a reported record-setting $9.623 billion. Khosla is also the minority owner of the San Francisco 49ers. However, that’s no longer the case after Saturday. According to a memo the NFL issued, […]
Kyle Juszczyk on George Kittle: “I really do think there is a chance he’s ready for Week 1”
Would George Kittle be ready for training camp? Probably not. But as far as his readiness for Week 1 goes, Kyle Juszczyk is pretty hopeful. The San Francisco 49ers fullback met with Matt Maiocco at the American Century Championship golf tournament in South Lake Tahoe to discuss the rookies and Juszczyk’s appearance at Kittle’s Tight […]
49ers News: Shout out Trent Taylor
49ers WR retires after seven-year NFL career“He also carved out a role as a punt returner, fielding 112 returns for 1,051 yards. His best statistical season came right out of the gate. As a rookie in 2017, Taylor hauled in 43 receptions for 430 yards and two touchdowns, establishing himself as a reliable slot option […]
2026 may be a breakout year for Dominick Puni
Strange, but it felt like Dominick Puni broke out in his rookie year in 2024. Unfortunately, his 2025 saw a bit of a regression after a solid 2024 campaign. Blame it on a PCL injury in August, but that was just his first month. Could the San Francisco 49ers’ right guard be poised for a breakout? It […]
Recapping Brandon Aiyuk’s activity over the last few days
Brandon Aiyuk has been busy this week doing Brandon Aiyuk things. The soon-to-be-former San Francisco 49ers wide unfollowed the quarterback he wanted to play with, explained himself, and told us social media is never stopping for him. Let’s dissect this. Jayden Daniels To discuss where Aiyuk is now, we need to go back a week. […]
49ers News: 60 days until the season opener
Jerry Rice talks 49ers: Mike Evans addition, De’Zhaun Stribling, 2026 expectations“Just throw it up,” Rice said. “Throw it up because he’s got that big frame. He’s going to be able to go up and attack the football. So, once you’re in the end zone, just throw that thing up, like ‘Alley-Oop’ (R.C. Owens) back in […]
Where could the 49ers add to their roster in training camp?
After having one of the oldest rosters in the NFL in 2024, the San Francisco 49ers made it a goal to get younger last offseason, allowing several veteran free agents to walk, while looking to the draft for their replacements. As a result, the 49ers had a ton of rookies play last season, while still […]
Why ‘There’s no logical reason to expect the 49ers’ injury plague to extend into a third year’
FTN Fantasy released its chapters for each team. As you might expect, the topic of injuries dominated the San Francisco 49ers. The Niners were once again in the top five in adjusted games lost in 2025. The 115 games lost were an improvement from the 141.2 in 2024. FTN admitted their metrics couldn’t explain what […]
49ers’ George Kittle drops a spot in annual tight end rankings
The San Francisco 49ers received “additional votes” for cornerback (Deommodore Lenoir) and defensive tackle (Osa Odighizuwa), but neither cracked the top 10 in ESPN’s positional rankings. On Friday, tight end was the position of choice. So it was a matter of how high George Kittle would be ranked, not where. For the second year in […]
49ers News: Former All-Pro believes the Niners don’t have confidence in drafting OL
The 49ers announced their training camp dates and made tickets available for those interested. The ticket prices are linked below. Also, in today’s links, you’ll read about Andrew Whitworth’s comments about drafting offensive linemen, Mac Jones reflecting on the 2021 NFL Draft, something about Brandon Aiyuk because it’s a day that ends in “Y,” a […]
49ers 90-in-90: Vederian Lowe should provide peace of mind
When the San Francisco 49ers didn’t have Trent Williams in the lineup, they defaulted to Austen Pleasants. The same Pleasants who appeared in a pair of meaningless games for the Niners at the end of the 2024 season, once they were eliminated from the playoffs, would be tasked with starting against a pair of playoff […]
PFT shares the window when a potential 49ers’ QB Mac Jones trade would take place
Where there’s smoke, there is fire. And for as much as the San Francisco 49ers brass wants to tell us they would like to keep Mac Jones around as Brock Purdy’s backup, the NFL landscape will likely dictate whether that happens. Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk discussed when the potential window for a trade […]
3 surprising stats about the 49ers from 2025
The 2025 season had everything for the San Francisco 49ers: injuries, thrilling victories, and a playoff win. With injuries to cornerstone players like Nick Bosa, Fred Warner, and George Kittle, the path to victories was made difficult, but the team still finished with 13 wins. It’s safe to say there were plenty of surprises in […]
49ers News: Two months until Australia
K.J. Wright never planned to be a coach. Now, could he be the next DeMeco Ryans? (Paywall)“Norton said if there was an 8 p.m. team meeting the night before a game, Wright would show up at 6 p.m. On practice days, coach and protege would arrive at the facility at 6 a.m. The goal, Norton […]
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 […]
