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.

49ers 90-in-90: When can we expect George Kittle to return to form?
George Kittle is 32. George Kittle remains one of the most valuable players in the NFL at 32. The San Francisco 49ers were a completely different team with No. 85 on and off the field in 2025.

Why the 49ers run defense should improve in 2026
The San Francisco 49ers made a few improvements to the roster this offseason, as they used their cap space to sign wide receiver Mike Evans and linebacker Dre Greenlaw, while trading for defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa. Evans should instantly improve San Francisco’s wide receiver core, which didn’t have a receiver top 650 yards last season. […]
Which returning player has the most to gain for the 49ers during training camp?
The San Francisco 49ers are on “summer break.” They’ll return for training camp in about a month and a half.

Why 2026 season could be make-or-break for 49ers defensive starter
While recent 49ers drafts have unearthed plenty of promising talents, as yet no player from their three classes prior to the 2026 crop has established themselves as a clear foundational building block. Most of the 2023 class is no longer on the roster, and there’s a decent chance the 2026 season could be Ji’Ayir Brown’s […]

George Kittle is at the World Cup, and he noticed something.

The San Francisco 49ers are still trying to get healthy.

George Kittle saves us the trouble of a “fire Shanahan” debate
If it weren’t for Brandon Aiyuk, a topic of discussion might be whether San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan is on the hot seat. Again.

49ers 90-in-90: Is Mac Jones the best backup QB in the NFL?
When a team’s franchise quarterback goes down with an injury and misses multiple games, it usually spells doom for that team and their season.
