49ers fans make it clear what their biggest concern is ahead of training camp
Last week, we gave San Francisco 49ers fans four options to decide what was the biggest concern for the team ahead of training camp: Health of stars, secondary talent, schedule, and a top-heavy roster. In a landslide, health of stars won the vote by 78 percent. Injuries to the top players are, at least on […]
49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk on Instagram: ‘Go Commanders’
The Brandon Aiyuk social media posts continue, and they are less cryptic this time around. The soon-to-be-former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver went to Instagram on Sunday, ending it with: “Go, Commanders.” There’s less to overanalyze with this one. This is one week after he posted on Instagram in Washington, D.C., and two weeks after […]
49ers News: Attack your Monday like Malik Mustapha attacks the ball
49ers lineman has unique franchise milestone in his sight“Players who spend at least 10 seasons with the organization earn a place on a plaque displayed inside the 49ers’ headquarters.” Hutchinson: Summer of Football: That was … easy“Anyway, Marques Sigle.

Colton McKivitz has sights set on a special place in 49er history
A few years ago not many people would have had Colton McKivitz down as a player who could etch his name into 49er history. McKivitz, a fifth-round draft pick in 2020, was waived in 2021 before being re-signed to the practice squad. He ultimately played a critical role in the 49ers making the playoffs that […]
Former NFL wide receiver thinks Mike Evans will have his best season…as long as he plays 17 games
Criticism of the San Francisco 49ers’ roster age seems to be a talking point this offseason. While they have improved and added proven stars, those stars may be in the twilight of their careers. One of those players is Mike Evans, and whether that was a good signing or bad depends on who you ask. […]
49ers News: The longest day of the year (aka every day without Niner football)
49ers urged to reward key defensive starter with another contract extension“The club has rising personnel costs with new deals set to kick in next year, but if the front office feels generous with $71.7 million in cap space, it could give Lenoir an extension before he starts a new season without guaranteed money on his […]
What is the 49ers’ biggest X-factor for 2026?
What is that one player on the San Francisco 49ers who is their X factor? The player who makes a huge difference, whether they are starting or not. It’s hard to answer that question, since the 49ers were collectively injured yet still made the playoffs in 2025. To put the onus on one player is […]
49ers News: A magnificent weekend for a big beautiful trade, ideally a lineman
Yinon’s take:They need more firepower on both sides of the line and should do what it takes to make that happen. Look at Seattle. Look at the Rams!! I’m bullish on every other position on the offense, we deserve to see the Purdy-to-Evans connection blossom without worrying about unretired Aaron Donald ruining our lives. I […]
49ers among two teams that are ‘nuclear hot’ for Maxx Crosby
Hondo Carpenter, who covers the Las Vegas Raiders for Sports Illustrated, linked the San Francisco 49ers to star pass rusher Maxx Crosby: I am telling you there is a lot of interest in Maxx Crosby. Two teams, specifically, nuclear hot — the Eagles and the 49ers. I still believe there are two, maybe as many […]
49ers News: A smidge over a month until we see the rookie linemen hit each other
What’s next for 49ers QB Mac Jones after not being traded?“At the end of last season, Jones told ESPN he felt like he “got the train back on the tracks.” The mission now is finding a way to keep it from derailing. Jones jokes that he’s not an engineer, but he has given plenty of […]
NFL insider reveals Washington is not going to ‘press’ for 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk
As the world turns with Brandon Aiyuk and the San Francisco 49ers, another report from an NFL insider revealed the belief that the Washington Commanders will not look to trade for the controversial receiver. A trade for Aiyuk has always felt unlikely due to the contract number, commitment, and the confidence in Aiyuk’s commitment to […]
Who will be the 49ers top free agents in 2027?
The San Francisco 49ers were in a great position this offseason, as they didn’t have many major impending free agents, which allowed them to focus on adding pieces in free agency. San Francisco’s biggest loss this offseason was wideout Jauan Jennings, who ended up signing a one-year deal worth $8 million with the Minnesota Vikings. […]
What’s the worst decision the 49ers made this offseason?
The San Francisco 49ers can claim that this offseason was a win. The team added Mike Evans and Osa Odighizuwa. That alone made it a successful offseason. Those weren’t the only veterans added who should make an impact. One of the three veteran offensive linemen is expected to play a role in 2026. Dre Greenlaw […]
How many games on the 49ers’ schedule do they have the quarterback advantage in?
We are living in a quarterback league. Well, unless you’re the Seattle Seahawks and can provide the type of infrastructure for a season around your quarterback, where he doesn’t have nearly as much on his plate as the rest of the league. But for everybody else, if you don’t have a playmaker under center, good […]
49ers News: A bit over a month until we see Jordan James practice with pads on
Which 49ers rookies impressed in OTAs, and which UDFA might make the team? Mailbag“So I don’t feel nearly as insightful about the spring season as I have in previous years. Having said that, it was interesting to see Jaden Dugger line up as the strongside linebacker. He got that opportunity because the regular strongside ‘backer, […]

The San Francisco 49ers have never been afraid to make a major splash in the trade market under Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch, be it for a star or in the draft. Some have worked out, while others have set the team back, leading to where we are in 2026. With the offseason in full […]
Why Mike Evans must come up big in 2026 for the 49ers
At various points in 2025, the San Francisco 49ers offense was carried by Brock Purdy, Kyle Shanahan, and Christian McCaffrey. Injuries took a toll on both sides of the ball, but there were times when Mac Jones was throwing the football to Jake Tonges, Demarcus Robinson, and Kendrick Bourne. The constants were Shanahan and McCaffrey. […]
Who is the 49ers’ most important role player?

49ers 90-in-90: How many touchdowns does Brock Purdy throw for in 2026?
Last season was frustrating for Brock Purdy. For a brief moment, some fans wondered whether the San Francisco 49ers were better off with Mac Jones under center.

What was your favorite Aldon Smith moment with the 49ers?
According to TMZ, the last time former star pass rusher Aldon Smith was spotted was feeding the homeless. That was hours before his sudden death.
