Two Former 49ers Could Return to the Team in Free Agency
One position the San Francisco 49ers should be targeting in free agency is the defensive line. The 49ers finished dead last in sacks (20) this past season. Of course, losing Nick Bosa played a significant role in that, but it proved that the 49ers need depth. They don't need a renowned player, although that's certainly welcomed, just someone who can rotate and give them some impactful snaps. Trey Hendrickson is surely on most fans' wishlists.
Why DE Keion White Perfectly Fits What the 49ers Want
Reinforcement has arrived. The San Francisco 49ers are acquiring defensive end Keion White from the New England Patriots in exchange for a 2026 sixth and seventh-round pick. White is a former 2023 second-round pick of the Patriots who has struggled to find a role under the new regime this season. Acquiring him is a necessary move for the 49ers to make. The pass rush has been completely abysmal since Nick Bosa tore his ACL. It was at its worst this past Sunday against the Houston Texans.
One Rookie has a Good Chance to be the Steal of the 49ers Draft Class
One critical aspect of the NFL draft that teams need to follow is drafting value picks. These are the players who end up becoming steals for a team's draft class. For the San Francisco 49ers, one rookie who potentially can be a steal is nickel cornerback Upton Stout. The 49ers have excellent value with Stout, as he's a solid player who has become a starter. However, there is another 49ers rookie who has a good chance to be an even better steal of their 2025 draft class.
One Area the 49ers Have a Clear Advantage Over the Cardinals
A chance at opening the 2025 season with a 3-0 record is on the horizon for the San Francisco 49ers. They'll have the opportunity to do that in front of their fans in their home opener in Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals. Defeating the Cardinals won't be easy. Despite not being a playoff-caliber team since 2021, the 49ers have their fits with the Cardinals. Part of that is the struggle with containing Kyler Murray as a rusher.
49ers Supply Encouraging Injury Update on Brock Purdy
So you're saying there's a chance? The San Francisco 49ers supplied an encouraging injury update on Brock Purdy on Wednesday. Kyle Shanahan revealed at his press conference that Purdy will be a limited participant in practice. That means his toe and shoulder injuries are healing well. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been out there practicing on Wednesday. As a result, Purdy has a chance to play in Week 3. However, that does not necessarily mean he will start.
The 49ers’ Five Most Exciting Games on the 2025 Schedule
How Brock Purdy Can Solve the 49ers' Issue with Brandon Aiyuk One of the reasons to believe the San Francisco 49ers will be successful in 2025 is because of their weak schedule. A lot of their opponents should make for fairly easy outings for them. However, that also means a lot of matchups won't be too exciting. Still, there are some matchups that will significantly move the needle. Here are the 49ers' five most exciting games on the 2025 schedule.
Mykel Williams on 49ers Extending Brock Purdy: “Thank god”
Excitement erupted when the San Francisco 49ers finalized a contract extension with Brock Purdy. What was thought to be a long and rigorous process that would inevitably affect training camp ended up being completed in a prompt and drama-free manner. The fact that the 49ers extended him and avoided all that makes it easy for excitement to arise. But no one on the 49ers was probably more excited about Purdy's extension than first-round pick Mykel Williams.
