Mac Jones has easy example to follow toward career resurrection with the 49ers

1 week ago | ninernoise.com | Brad Berreman

Once upon a time, as is well known, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan really coveted quarterback Mac Jones going into the 2021 NFL Draft. Of course it didn't go that way, or work out well, as Trey Lance was ultimately the pick at No. 3 overall.
49ers' most viable remaining trade asset isn't really a trade asset at all

1 week ago | ninernoise.com | Brad Berreman

The San Francisco 49ers turned their roster younger offseason, taking on plenty of dead money in the process. Several departed veterans have been replaced by draft picks, and other young players are lined up for bigger roles this season. The Niners have made a noteworthy addition as the calendar flipped to June, acquiring edge rusher Bryce Huff from the Philadelphia Eagles for a Day 3 pick in 2026.
Wild 49ers trade proposal for Tyreek Hill would excite precisely no one

1 week ago | ninernoise.com | Brad Berreman

All offseason, trade rumors around Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill have been invited and dismissed in back-and-forth fashion. Now that June 1 has passed, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk has laid out how a trade is more palatable for Miami:"For now, Hill has $28.296 million in unallocated bonus money that will hit the cap. A pre-June 1 trade means all of it lands in 2025.
3 San Francisco 49ers players who are playing for a contract in 2025

In a nice change of previous pace, the San Francisco 49ers took care of a lot of notable contract business before OTAs this offseason. Tight end George Kittle and linebacker Fred Warner joined quarterback Brock Purdy in getting notable multi-year deals. That leaves a situation where the biggest-name Niners are under contract for multiple years, then there are a lot of younger players who are not yet in line for their next contract.
Veteran punter reveals seemingly imminent signing with the 49ers

The kicking game was a underappreciated reason for the San Francisco 49ers struggles last season, as kicker Jake Moody struggled with accuracy while punter Mitch Wishnowski missed eight games and was not particularly good when he was healthy. Greg Joseph has been added as expected competition for Moody, but as the next phase of OTAs gets rolling a presumably healthy (?) Wishnowski has faced no competition for punting duties.
Rookie who'll be critical cog in 49ers' defensive resurgence finally gets some buzz

2 weeks ago | ninernoise.com | Brad Berreman

A disappointing 2024 season led to an offseason of change for the San Francisco 49ers, particularly on the defensive side of the ball as veteran talent departed and their first five picks in April's draft were used to restock the cupboard. There's a solid argument that the 49ers' defense, around core players Fred Warner and Nick Bosa, needed a youth-driven overhaul.
George Kittle's fantasy football value proves age is merely a number

3 weeks ago | ninernoise.com | Brad Berreman

The San Francisco 49ers have atypically taken care of a lot of contract business already this offseason. The run of recent new deals started with making George Kittle the highest-paid tight end by annual average value with a four-year, $76.4 million deal. Kittle is entering his age-32 season, but he is arguably the best all-around tight end in the NFL and he's showing no real signs of slowing down.
Fresh analysis fortifies risk-reward of Christian McCaffrey as a fantasy asset

3 weeks ago | ninernoise.com | Brad Berreman

In four of the last seven seasons, All-Pro Christian McCaffrey has finished as a top-three fantasy running back, regardless of scoring format, with two finishes as the RB1 (2019 and 2023, by a big margin each time). In the other three seasons during that stretch, 2020, 2021 and 2024, he has played a total of 14 games. McCaffrey was the clear No. 1 overall pick in fantasy football drafts last year.
Analytics clearly show Brock Purdy should not be called a 'system quarterback'

3 weeks ago | ninernoise.com | Brad Berreman

As he has risen from being "Mr. Irrelevant" to recently getting a big contract, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy continues to be brushed off as a product of head coach Kyle Shanahan's system. NFL Network's Kyle Brandt went all the way with a bit about it, complete with a "Bot Purdy" Halloween costume, during the 2023 season. After the announcement of his new contract, Purdy appeared on 95.7 The Game's "Willard and Dibs" Thursday.
49ers' 'best-kept secret' has been called to prove he should be no secret all

3 weeks ago | ninernoise.com | Brad Berreman

While Deebo Samuel was admittedly overweight and others (Brandon Aiyuk, Ricky Pearsall) missed time, a new hero emerged in the San Francisco 49ers' wide receiver corps last season. Jauan Jennings had a breakthrough 2024 season, leading the 49ers with 113 targets as he more than doubled his previous career-bests in receptions and receiving yards with 77 and 975 respectively.
