The Niners could be in the mix for a recently released cornerback.

Another big name hit free agency on Monday, as the Green Bay Packers released former All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander after seven seasons with the team.

Of course, whenever a big-name player hits free agency, they’re naturally tied to the San Francisco 49ers, so let’s evaluate the fit and how realistic an actual move can be.

The 49ers lost top cornerback Charvarius Ward to free agency this offseason, as the Pro Bowler signed a three-year, $54 million deal with the Indianapolis Colts. However, that move was heavily expected after...

The 49ers quarterback will look to have a bounce-back season after getting his extension.

The biggest storyline this offseason for the San Francisco 49ers was extending quarterback Brock Purdy on a five-year, $265 million deal that includes $181 million in guaranteed money.

Purdy, coming off his third season in the NFL and his second as a full-time starter, was expected to garner a long-term extension this offseason, but the money and duration were question marks throughout the process.

Ultimately, the 49ers and Purdy settled on a deal that will average $53 million per season, which ranks seventh in the NFL....

49ers’ Kris Kocurek goes deep on Bryce Huff, Mykel Williams and revamped D-line (paywall)

“The first day, I would say, was good. But we explained to him that good’s not good enough. We need him to be elite in certain categories. And getting to the football with effort is one category that Mykel needs to be elite at. And I challenged him after the first day. I’m not saying that it was bad. But it wasn’t quite exactly what we wanted. And I thought that in the...

Breaking down the 90 players on the 49ers’ offseason roster in 90 posts (over 90 or so days). Today is rookie DT CJ West

We’re finally kicking off our 90-in-90 series for 2025. We’ll do things a little differently this year by bouncing around based on jersey numbers. We’ll go back and forth from the highest number to the lowest. So, today, we’ll start with No. 99, and tomorrow will be No. 0, and so on.

The San Francisco 49ers drafted nose tackle CJ West in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. The depth along the defensive line...

The 49ers still have a few questions to answer on offense.

The offseason shenanigans are over for the San Francisco 49ers, who managed to extend three stars to long-term extensions: quarterback Brock Purdy, tight end George Kittle, and linebacker Fred Warner.

Now, it’s all about business with mandatory minicamp around the corner this week, which will be the last update before a 40-day break prior to training camp.

The 49ers have much of their team set as they look to cut down to 53 players, but there are still a few questions on both sides of the ball as the...

Injuries cost the 49ers in the red zone last season. They can’t afford to come away with so few touchdowns in 2025.

We are in the dog days of the offseason of the NFL. The San Francisco 49ers have a couple of mandatory minicamp practices this week, but after that, we won’t hear from anybody for a month and a half.

The Niners are in a position to bounce back from a 6-win season thanks to a last-place schedule. However, they still have to go out and reconnect with their roots. Today, we’ll look at how they can do that...

Former Packers CB Jaire Alexander suffered a PCL injury that caused him to miss the second half of the season. Some playoff team will take a flyer on him. Should it be the 49ers?

After attempting to trade him at various points over the past calendar year, the Green Bay Packers are releasing former first-round pick and 2-time All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander.

The injury-riddled Alexander has never lacked talent. He was an All-Pro as recently as 2022 — the last time he started double-digit games in a season. However, Alexander has played seven games or fewer in three of the...

49ers relish Navy SEALs’ visit, workout as they seek new bond this offseason (paywall)

“Kittle found it “absolutely crazy” to hear stories such as SEALs cramming into “little clear fishing boats that were supposed to hold like 200 pounds, (they) had five guys packed in them, fully packed and are going up a river in the middle of a day, and (they) somehow came back from that.”

Shanahan estimated this was the third time in his nine years that the 49ers have signaled for the SEALs to...

Brock Purdy was Kyle Shanahan’s only challenger in our weekly Reacts poll for the 49ers

During this week’s FanDuel Sportsbook SB Nation’s Reacts survey, we asked San Francisco 49ers fans which person in the organization had the most to prove in 2025. The options were head coach Kyle Shanahan, quarterback Brock Purdy, defensive coordinator Robert Saleh, and general manager John Lynch.

According to our poll, Shanahan was the runaway answer:

As is the case with any head coach, Shanahan takes the brunt of the blame whenever things go wrong on the 49ers.

Despite San Francisco being one year removed from...

The 49ers’ next contract negotiation could be with Jauan Jennings, and the recent extension for Rashod Bateman may be what they have in mind for the wideout.

The 49ers are done with their significant business in terms of contract extensions after quickly moving to get George Kittle, Brock Purdy and Fred Warner tied to long-term deals.

Though Trent Williams and Kyle Juszczyk are set to be free agents in 2027 — with both potential candidates for retirement following the 2026 season — the 49ers don’t have a prospective contract saga with a star player on the horizon.

However, they do...

19 dropped passes in 2024—up from 9 in 2023. A 2 percent rate now goes to 4.2 percent. Still far from the chaos the 49ers lived through in the Jimmy Garoppolo era.

One thing about Brock Purdy that has doubled in the wrong direction: his drop rate.

Around these parts, we praised how efficient Purdy looked as the 49ers’ quarterback. Especially compared to the near-comical drop rates that plagued the team before he took over. In 2023, Purdy had just nine dropped passes. That’s a huge step up, considering where the 49ers had been:

2018: 27
2019: 28
2020: 34...

Chris Conley has called it a career and will not be an option in 2025.

NFL wide receiver Chris Conley, who spent his last three years with the San Francisco 49ers, has announced his retirement. The announcement comes from Conley’s agent, Jonathan Perzley (per Ian Rapoport).

Following the end of the 2024 season, Conley was an unrestricted free agent. While no reports linked the 49ers to a new deal with Conley, Brandon Aiyuk’s injury may have kept the door slightly open for his possible return.

With players like Ricky Pearsall, Jauan Jennings, and others vying for roster spots, the team’s...
