D.J. Humphries appeared in two games for the Kansas City Chiefs last year. Before that, he had been with the Arizona Cardinals since 2015. Now, Humphries lands back in the NFC West.

The San Francisco 49ers signed veteran offensive tackle, former first-round pick, and long-time NFC West player D.J. Humphries, per his agency.

Humphries appeared in two games last season with the Kansas City Chiefs. He signed with Kansas City later on in the year but suffered a hamstring injury against the Los Angeles Chargers. He did not play again until a meaningless game in Week 18.

Humphries was drafted...

The Niners signed Kittle to a massive contract extension on Tuesday.

The San Francisco 49ers signed tight end George Kittle to a record-breaking four-year, $76.1 million extension on Tuesday that includes $40 million guaranteed.

Kittle, heading into his age-32 season, is arguably the league’s best tight end and seemingly wanted to be compensated as such. His four-year, $76.1 million deal narrowly eclipses the four-year, $76 million deal that Arizona Cardinals star tight end Trey McBride signed earlier this offseason.

There was initially worry that a contract dispute between Kittle and the 49ers would come about this offseason, as The Athletic’s...

Both were from Indiana. CJ West and Kurtis Rourke could surprise in the NFL, according to Group of 5 coaches

A couple of weeks ago, ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg reached out to college coaches to find sleeper picks in the NFL Draft. Those players were considered to be drafted outside of the first two rounds and closer to the end of Day 2 and throughout Day 3. These prospects were the types who fill out the top rosters in the league, with the potential to make a big impact in the playoffs down the line.

For this exercise, Rittenberg said he...

The 49ers will receive comp picks in the fourth and fifth rounds, thanks to Aaron Banks, Charvarius Ward, and Dre Greenlaw

Now that the 2025 NFL Draft is over, compensatory picks for the 2026 NFL Draft have been designated. Per Over the Cap, the San Franciscio 49ers were awarded three comp picks in next year’s draft:

• 4th round - Aaron Banks
• 4th round - Charvarius Ward
• 5th round - Talanoa Hufanga

Each of the other signings was canceled because the players lost. Jaylon Moore's leaving was canceled out by Mac Jones. Dre Greenlaw’s deal canceled out the...

The 49ers improved in the draft, but was it enough to move up the NFL power rankings?

With the dust settled on the NFL draft, the San Francisco 49ers are looking to finalize their 53-man roster with their new draftees. After addressing the defense, specifically the run defense, the 49ers improved before a single snap in the 2025 NFL season. The vibes are even higher after the 49ers extended George Kittle to the highest-paid contract for a tight end in the NFL.

The question is: Did the 49ers' draft class move the team up the post-draft NFL power rankings?

The 49ers got a haul of players in their 2025 NFL Draft class.

The San Francisco 49ers didn’t make one move in the 2025 NFL Draft, making all 11 of their picks for a deep draft class that included seven Day 3 picks.

San Francisco doubled up at several positions and targeted key needs, but there were still varying grades on how the 49ers fared in the draft.

After grading all of the team’s Day 1 and Day 2 picks, let’s finish things off with a full grading of the Day 3 picks.

**DT C.J. West, Round 4, Pick 113:...

The 49ers have typically let contract negotiations drag close to the season, but they have avoided doing that this time with George Kittle.

The 49ers are used to playing the waiting game with major contract extensions and allowing them to drag perilously close to the start of the regular season.

But they have broken with tradition with All-Pro tight end George Kittle, signing him to a four-year extension worth $76.4 million. The deal was first reported by Will Compton and Taylor Lewin of the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast.

The deal sees Kittle once again become the highest-paid tight end...

49ers post-NFL Draft depth chart: How many rookies could reasonably start Week 1? (paywall)

“We’re predicting that veterans Elliott and Givens are the Week 1 starters, though it would be of little surprise if Collins or West — or both — are in the starting mix. Body-wise, Collins is reminiscent of 2020 first-round pick Javon Kinlaw but without the knee issue that plagued Kinlaw early in his career. West is like one-time 49er D.J. Jones. Anderson, meanwhile, is part of the group that stuck around the team...

The 49ers didn’t use another pick on a kicker in the 2025 NFL Draft, but they will get a look at some potential competition for Jake Moody.

Kyle Shanahan said at the owners’ meetings that the 49ers would bring in veteran competition for kicker Jake Moody following his disappointing 2024 season. However, there will be a player present at rookie minicamp with designs on convincing them to make him the man to put pressure on their 2023 third-round pick.

Moody was picked by the 49ers after a career at Michigan that saw him win the Lou Groza Award for the...

With seven selections, the 49ers rounded out their draft class. How did they do?

The San Francisco 49ers finished the NFL draft on Saturday with seven selections on day three. Mykel Williams, Alfred Collins, Nick Martin, and Upton Stout rounded out the 49ers’ first two days through three rounds.

How did the 49ers do with their other seven selections?

Pro Football Focus was unkind to the 49ers’ draft, with a grade of D for the class.

But what did PFF think of the 49ers’ third day?

Each day three pick fell into a range from below average to elite.

We look at a few different names, including a former Robert Saleh and Gus Bradley safety

During his post-draft press conference, general manager John Lynch said, “We’ll see. We’re always looking to improve our team,” when asked about potentially adding somebody as a free agent now that free agents aren’t counted against teams’ compensatory formula.

The San Francisco 49ers drafted two drafted “inside” players and signed Jason Pinnock, Siran Neal, and Richie Grant in free agency. Those off-season investments make sense in light of a report over the weekend indicating that Malik Mustapha may miss the start of the 2025...

The Niners draft class is not being well received

Draft analysts everywhere are grading every team and evaluating their performance from a value perspective now that the 2025 NFL Draft is behind us. We compiled this for the San Francisco 49ers' draft class last year, and there was only one analyst who gave San Francisco an A grade. Everyone else was not as high on the ‘24 class, and the 49ers ended up being ranked 25th.

One year later, we can all agree that the 49ers did not have one of the worst draft classes. Many would argue the opposite....
