Just last week, offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak said the 49ers still see Mac Jones as a starting NFL quarterback. Well, the 49ers don't currently need a starting quarterback -- they still have Brock Purdy -- but the Saints certainly need one.
A major piece the San Francisco 49ers were sad to see go in free agency was defensive back Charvarius Ward, who signed a new contract with the Indianapolis Colts.
If Trent Williams doesn't retire this offseason, will the 49ers trade him after June 1? Hear me out. The 49ers gave Trent Williams a new contract last offseason when they were making one final Super Bowl push.

Wide receiver Jordan Watkins was considered the 49ers' biggest reach of the draft this year. He was projected to get picked in Round 6 or 7, and yet the 49ers took him at the end of Round 4.

The 49ers first OTA practice of the offseason will be Tuesday, May 27. Will they extend Brock Purdy's contract by then? Purdy is in line to become the highest-paid quarterback in franchise history -- he reportedly wants more than $50 million per season.
The San Francisco 49ers are exploring potential upgrades to their receiving corps, and recently released wide receiver Gabe Davis is reportedly visiting the team as a possible addition.
The San Francisco 49ers used their first two draft selections to reinforce the defensive line, aiming to build a dominant front for years to come.

It's no secret that the 49ers are counting on lots of rookies to start and make an impact in 2025. The 49ers could start as many five rookies Week 1 if things go according to plan.
Just a couple years ago, the 49ers had arguably the top pass-catching group in the NFL. Now, Deebo Samuel is a Washington Commander and Brandon Aiyuk is recovering from a torn ACL, MCL and meniscus.

It's hard to know what to make of the 49ers. Last season, they were 6-11, but they had tons of injuries. This year, they have the easiest schedule in the league on paper, which means their record should be much better than 6-11 if they stay healthy.

The 49ers had a bold strategy this offseason: Let all of their defensive free agents leave and replace them with rookies and second-year players. As a result, the 49ers defense might take a step backward before it takes two forward.
NFL insider Tom Pelissero doesn't believe a contract extension between the San Francisco 49ers and quarterback Brock Purdy is imminent, but he's confident a deal will get done this offseason.
Ed McCaffrey is still a big believer in the San Francisco 49ers. The former Pro Bowl wide receiver won a Super Bowl with the 49ers during the 1994 season and his son, Christian McCaffrey, is currently one of their biggest stars.
Sometimes an NFL team has to admit that they made a mistake when they picked a certain player in a draft, and that is exactly what the San Francisco 49ers just did.
