The 49ers could add depth to their wide receiver room this week. Free agent wide receiver Gabe Davis is visiting the 49ers today according to reports. Davis recently was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars just one year after signing a lucrative multi-year extension.
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.
Two wide receivers stood out during Friday afternoon's rookie minicamp session — the only one open to the media — and neither was one of the San Francisco 49ers' drafted pass catchers, Jordan Watkins or Junior Bergen.
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. In the third round, they addressed another defensive need by selecting Oklahoma State linebacker Nick Martin, who could help fill the void left by Dre Greenlaw's departure to the Denver Broncos.
Former Tennessee Vols wide receiver Jauan Jennings put up the best numbers of his career in 2024, catching 77 passes for 975 yards and six touchdowns while
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.
The 49ers signed Brandon Aiyuk to a big contract before the 2024 season and they had Deebo Samuel in the middle of his own sizable extension, but neither one wound up being the team's leading receiver at the end of the year.
There are indelible images of certain athletes in specific uniforms. Barry Sanders wearing the Honolulu blue and silver of the Detroit Lions, for example.
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 are coming off a miserable 6-11 season and they didn't do much the past couple months to improve their roster in the short term. So what's the biggest reason for optimism heading into 2025?
When the 49ers first hired Robert Saleh in 2017, no one really knew who he was. He came from the Jacksonville Jaguars, who stunk. He was their linebackers coach.
The 49ers special teams arguably were the worst in the NFL last season. They did nothing well. They stunk at kicking. They stunk at punting. They stunk at returning.
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.
This was surprising. Robert Saleh gave his first press conference this week since being hired as the 49ers defensive coordinator for the second time, and he was asked if it feels like the first time he was hired back in 2017.
The 49ers made lots of moves this offseason, but did they actually improve? They traded Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders, and that was addition by subtraction to use a terrible cliche.
Rookie minicamp was a bit of a letdown this year. The 49ers' 11 draft picks all showed up, but only one of them actually participated in 7-on-7 team drills, and that was running back Jordan James.
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.
With their final pick in Round 7, the 49ers drafted a return specialist from Montana. His name is Junior Bergen and he was prolific in college as a wide receiver and as a returner.
The San Francisco 49ers are entering the upcoming season with a redefined identity, and wide receiver Jauan Jennings is at the center of the transformation.
The San Francisco 49ers earned the worst free agency grades in the NFL this offseason as the team failed to add impact players to the roster despite losing a number of key contributors.
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.
