It may be too early to crown the winners of the 2026 NFL free agency period, but that hasn't stopped ESPN analyst Aaron Schatz from identifying several teams that have significantly improved their rosters this offseason—including the San Francisco 49ers.
For a moment, the San Francisco 49ers were beginning to run out of salary cap space after several moves made in free agency. It looked as if the 49ers were going to have to wrap up on players they wanted to sign and acquire.
The San Francisco 49ers created $17.172 million in 2026 salary cap space by restructuring the contract of star defensive end Nick Bosa. While the move provides immediate financial flexibility, it also pushes additional cap charges into future seasons.
On Saturday morning, the San Francisco 49ers announced they and Nick Bosa agreed to a contract restructure that creates an additional $17.172 million in 2026 cap space.
Most of the NFL mock drafts focus on the early rounds, but there are still many prominent college players who will hear their names called later. These are just some of the big names that could hear their names in the later rounds.
Not a ton of moves have been made by the San Francisco 49ers in free agency, but they've all been neccessary. Signing Mike Evans was huge, as it addressed a top position of need.
After a series of injuries ultimately forced him to miss nine games, thus ending his 11-year streak of 1,000+ receiving yards seasons, it was time for a change of scenery for Mike Evans.
Defensive lineman Kalia Davis was a 17-game starter for the playoff-bound 49ers in 2025, but they did not retain the restricted free agent. Davis is now joining the Browns on a one-year deal worth up to $3MM, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
There is plenty of excitement within the San Francisco 49ers organization following the signing of veteran wide receiver Mike Evans, who brings more than 13,000 career receiving yards and 108 touchdowns to the team.
NFL prospects from major programs get most of the attention, but there are numerous examples of players drafted from small schools who have become difference-makers.
According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, the Cleveland Browns are signing former San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Kalia Davis to a one-year deal worth up to $3 million.
The San Francisco 49ers made a significant addition this week with the signing of veteran wide receiver Mike Evans. However, the team also saw depth leave the position in free agency, with Kendrick Bourne and Skyy Moore departing.
According to Spotrac, the 2026 salary cap adjustments for each NFL team have been announced, and the San Francisco 49ers received the second-largest increase in the league.
Like a splash of cold water hitting the back of your neck, it was surprising to see the San Francisco 49ers land Mike Evans in free agency. Evan was the top free agent wide receiver, so he was undoubtedly going to be expensive with a handful of suitors courting him.
Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Gerald McCoy shared a heartfelt message for Mike Evans following the veteran wide receiver’s decision to sign with the San Francisco 49ers, ending a 12-year run with the franchise.
The San Francisco 49ers have officially announced the previously reported return of linebacker Dre Greenlaw, signing him to a one-year deal reportedly worth $7.5 million.
Coming off a 12–5 injury-laden season that left the San Francisco 49ers one win away from the NFC Championship game, the 49ers are going all in on the 2026-27 season.
I'll say it plainly: if Kadyn Proctor is sitting there when the San Francisco 49ers go on the clock with pick No. 27, they should seriously consider turning in the card with his name on it, regardless of whether future Hall of Famer Trent Williams is on the roster in 2026 or not.
Right after the San Francisco 49ers signed Dre Greenlaw, it was announced that edge rusher Bryce Huff is retiring. The 49ers go from strengthening one area, then get weakened in another.
The San Francisco 49ers' signing of Nate Hobbs can be viewed as mostly depth for a team that needs it in the secondary. Hobbs has 1,748 snaps in the slot, along with 973 snaps on the outside, per PFF so he can fill the role of backup slot, outside, and even starter in dime looks.
Luke Gifford will remain in San Francisco next season. The veteran linebacker and special teams ace has agreed to a new 49ers deal, Tom Pelissero, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network report.
