They are at the top of the rankings and by a wide margin. Seeing that number and the disparity of the second-most dead money team adds context for why the 49ers limited cash spending this offseason. They have acted like a kid who is reckless with their allowance money. The 49ers have made a lot of poor decisions with contracts and restructures.

Christian McCaffrey was the first player from the San Francisco 49ers to grace the cover of the Madden video game. He was given that honor for the last installment: Madden 25. Unfortunately, being the cover of the video game is viewed more as a curse than an honor. It seems that a majority of the time, the player who is the cover for the famed video game ends up having a down season. For McCaffrey, his 2025 season was plagued by injuries.

It's impossible to argue that the 2021 NFL draft was a debacle for the San Francisco 49ers. They spent three first-round picks to move up to the No. 3 overall spot to select Trey Lance. He was supposed to be their franchise quarterback for the foreseeable future. He couldn't even make it to his third season with the 49ers. All of those draft picks were wasted. It is easily the worst draft selection in 49ers' history, and one of the worst in the NFL draft considering the capital.

Drafting running backs in the third round has never worked out for the San Francisco 49ers. The last one drafted was Tyrion Davis-Price in 2022. Davis-Price barely lasted two seasons with the 49ers. He didn't even make it to the end of his second season. That is how much of a wasted pick he was. Luckily for Davis-Price, he was picked up by the Philadelphia Eagles, but he was more of a depth piece and was recently cut. Now, he has found a new home with the hopes of saving his career.

It was starting to become a serious concern for the San Francisco 49ers when they were undergoing their search for a new defensive coordinator. The writing was on the wall that they wanted Robert Saleh back. However, Saleh was still interviewing for head coaching vacancies. Luckily for the 49ers, Saleh was not hired to be a head coach. He would return to the 49ers after being away for five years. The echoing sentiment from players and coaches is that it feels like Saleh never left.

Mykel Williams has only been with the San Francisco 49ers for a month since he was drafted No. 11 overall. He has barely had time to fully integrate himself with all of the coaches, let alone the whole team. And yet, he is already "tremendously" benefiting from Nick Bosa. "Learning from (Nick) Bosa. Bosa came in and helped me tremendously," said Williams to Kay Adams on the Up and Adams show. "He's a great teammate, just telling me a list of stuff about angles and timing and hands.

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.

Signing a veteran wide receiver has been a topic of discussion revolving the San Francisco 49ers lately. However, the 49ers' need at wide receiver is being overblown. Could they use a veteran? Sure, but it is unnecessary for them to sign one. Rather than signing a veteran wide receiver, the 49ers should get Jacob Cowing going to round out the position. They drafted him last year in the fourth round for a reason. The 49ers must set up Cowing for success in 2025.

It was great idea, on paper, for the San Francisco 49ers to pursue Joey Bosa in free agency. They need an adequate defensive end, so what better player than Nick Bosa's brother? The selling point to fans would've been monstrous. However, the 49ers were unsuccessful in signing Nick's brother Joey. The Buffalo Bills would swoop in with a contact offer that he couldn't pass up. At the time, it seemed like a bummer, especially if you were an advocate for the 49ers to sign him.

Positivity has been surging for the San Francisco 49ers lately. That is largely due to the contract extensions finalized with George Kittle, Brock Purdy, and Fred Warner. It means there will not be contract drama heading into training camp this year. While it is stupendous that the 49ers will finally get to focus on football in camp, the reality is that they are still a team with some questions.
