As Brock Purdy enjoyed an MVP caliber season for the San Francisco 49ers in 2023, it was very difficult to poke holes in his game. The most common critique

If a certain Clemson cornerback falls to No. 31, that’d be difficult to pass up.

The San Francisco 49ers signed former New Orleans Saints cornerback Isaac Yiadom to a one-year contract worth up to $3 million. Yiadom’s signing bonus was $1.375 million, which doesn’t scream “starter” money.

Yiadom’s numbers with the Saints were surprisingly impressive. On his first targeted pass of the season, he batted a pass into the arms of his teammate,...

San Francisco 49ers happy to play the waiting game in addressing lingering need after free agency

Free agency is, for all intents and purposes, in the books, but there is one position where there are still a host of big names on the open market. The market for many players at the safety position has been largely non-existent, with players such as former All-Pro Justin Simmons and three-time Pro Bowler Quandre Diggs still without a team.

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

The 49ers owner tried to put a positive spin on the team’s season ending in a Super Bowl loss.

The San Francisco 49ers made the Super Bowl for the second time in five years this past season, but fell short once again to the Kansas City Chiefs, losing in overtime 25-22 to send them packing without any hardware at the end of the year.

It was a depressing finish for the 49ers, who had come so close to achieving their goals, but blew another 10-point lead,...

York says the market will tell the 49ers what to pay Brock Purdy

One reason why it makes little sense for the San Francisco 49ers to trade wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is because of the chemistry he has with quarterback Brock Purdy. That duo was one of the most efficient and explosive in the NFL during the 2023 regular season.

The Niners will need to pay Aiyuk at some point this offseason. They’re a year away from paying their quarterback. The 49ers...

The 49ers were one of the picks. But this list may not instill confidence.

The San Francisco 49ers own the No. 31 selection in the 2024 NFL Draft. They could trade up if a prospect they covet falls in the draft — likely due to a run on a specific position, namely, quarterback. There’s also the possibility of the Niners trading out of the first round if a team makes an offer they cannot refuse.
