NFL insiders hear so much information about team interests leading up to the NFL Draft, making it challenging to discern fact from fiction—or smoke screens.
No one projected the San Francisco 49ers taking a wide receiver in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft. Offensive line flooded most of the mock drafts with some cornerback mocks sprinkled in.
The 49ers didn’t wait for rookie minicamp to assign jersey numbers to their 2024 draft picks and undrafted free agent additions. NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco posted on Twitter which jersey number each 49ers first-year player will rock when they first take the field for their offseason work.
The San Francisco 49ers selected wide receiver Jacob Cowing in the fourth round of the draft, adding him to a wideout group that includes Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel, Jauan Jennings, and first-round pick Ricky Pearsall.
The 49ers’ selection of wide receiver Ricky Pearsall in Round 1 of the 2024 draft made plenty of waves regarding the future of San Francisco’s receiving corps.
The most consistent wide receiver in the playoffs was Jauan Jennings. While Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk struggled to beat press-man coverage, Jennings didn't.
The 49ers could extend Deommodore Lenoir's contract right now if they wanted to. But doing do would be expensive, plus so much of their future salary cap space is allocated for Brandon Aiyuk and Brock Purdy.
Will it be the team friendly deal or will he reset the market? Enjoy it, San Francisco 49ers fans. This year we got slapped with the Brandon Aiyuk “will they or won’t they” trade drama, guest starring Deebo Samuel with a cameo from Jauan Jennings.
It's not uncommon for a player to be frustrated with his lack of playing time. The San Francisco 49ers have their share of players who complained, usually after leaving the team, about how they were underused or weren't given the opportunities to showcase their skills.
Arguably the last thing any fan of the San Francisco 49ers wants to hear from a new player is praise of anything connected with the Seattle Seahawks. But after being selected in the fourth round by the Niners, Arizona wide receiver Jacob Cowing was full of praise for one of a veteran Seahawks All-Pro.
The 49ers need a linebacker to replace Dre Greenlaw while he recovers from a torn Achilles. They signed De'Vondre Campbell, but he's also 31 -- his career is almost over.
It's no secret that Brock Purdy is likely to get a lot more expensive for the San Francisco 49ers in 2025. Assuming Purdy continues to perform to the same standard he produced in a spectacular 2023 season, the San Francisco 49ers quarterback will receive a contract extension to make him one of the highest-paid players in the NFL.
Former San Francisco 49ers WR Willie Snead just wants a chance, something he feels his old team never offered.
Kyle Shanahan was satisfied with the group of players that the San Francisco 49ers drafted this year. Of course, any and every head coach believes that at the time.
The 49ers had the highest-rated quarterback in the league by a wide margin last season, and yet they attempted the fewest passes of any team in the NFL.
So far, the 49ers' 2023 draft class looks abysmal. Their first pick was safety Ji'Ayir Brown, whom they traded up to get in Round 3. He looks good. Other than him, the 49ers have a bunch of disappointments and question marks.
Former GM Scot McCloughan is widely considered the architect of the San Francisco 49ers roster that Jim Harbaugh took to three straight NFC Championships and one Super Bowl.

The former 49ers signal-caller had major praise for the team's current quarterback.
