“According to OverTheCap, Height’s four-year deal is worth approximately $7.33 million. It includes a signing bonus of about $1.79 million and carries a 2026 salary-cap hit of roughly $1.33 million.”

NFL executives say 49ers’ Christian McCaffrey has ‘declined some’
“You can’t mention McCaffrey without bringing up the 49ers’ yards before contact stat. Kyle Shanahan has hinted at it, but a “less is more” year would make plenty of sense after a heavy workload last year.”

The San Francisco 49ers announced the signing of rookie Romello Height to a four-year deal. Height, the first of two third-round picks, still participated during OTAs despite not being under contract. There was never a worry that he’d hold out into training camp.

Per the CBA’s rookie wage scale, Height’s four-year deal totals $7.29 million. Here’s a breakdown by year:

2026 – $1.325m
2027 – $1.65m
2028 – $1.98m
2028 – $2.31m

Height, 25, is the epitome of college football players since the transfer rules changed. He played at Auburn early in his career. He transferred to USC in 2023,...

ESPN reviewed each team’s starting lineups on both sides of the ball to determine which team had the strongest roster in the NFL. They named the biggest strength, the weakness, the X-factor, and the non-starter to know.

The San Francisco 49ers’ win total is among the highest in the NFL once again, suggesting this team has one of the better rosters in the NFL. They are set in premium positions like quarterback, wide receiver, edge rusher, and tackle. The secondary and depth leave enough to be desired to raise questions, and a top-heavy roster makes them tough to pick against....

Last week, we asked fans which player would have more yards from scrimmage on the San Francisco 49ers behind Christian McCaffrey. It’s our weekly survey question brought to you by FanDuel Sportsbook. They were the last two draft picks at the position: Kaelon Black and Jordan James.

The results were not close, which was mildly surprising. We’re all guessing about the potential roles. James seems like McCaffrey’s backup as a runner with more of an every-down factor, while Black comes off as the change-of-pace, speedy, home-run back.

According to the votes, Black is going to beat out James in the...

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler publishes an annual positional rankings list in which he talks to coaches and executives from around the league. They did running backs on Monday, so San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey was inevitably going to be on the list. The only question was where he’d be ranked.

Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Saquon Barkley were the top three backs. McCaffrey, who was ranked fifth last year, was fourth this year. One person even voted him as high as No. 1:

Highest ranking: 1 | Lowest ranking: Unranked
Age: 30 | Last year’s ranking: 5...

Every year around this time, I ask you what was the best victory the San Francisco 49ers had over the last five years. Last year, what many thought was the best win—the 2019 New Orleans Saints game — got bumped out of the five-year window. Regardless, I considered the NFC Championship Game in the 2023-2024 NFC Season the best. The 49ers came back in an epic fashion to beat the Detroit Lions and go on to the Super Bowl.

There wasn’t much in the 2024 season we could cover, but for 2025, we have some contenders that can unseat that...

While the majority of us can wonder just what’s going on with Brandon Aiyuk, let’s get a more divided argument going back into these parts: Brock Purdy.

Pro Football Focus released its quarterback rankings for 2026. Obviously, we can already divide on specifically how PFF ranks players. They said their analysts put this together, asking one question: Which quarterback would they want leading their team in 2026?

Their answer, putting Purdy at 10th, behind:

No. 6 Jordan Love (Green Bay Packers)

No. 7 Justin Herbert (Los Angeles Chargers)

No. 8 Dak Prescott (Dallas Cowboys)

No. 9 Drake Maye (New England...

Brandon Aiyuk’s once cryptic posts on Instagram are more and more obvious—and less cryptic—by the day.

The soon-to-be-former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver has continued his campaign, or at this point, plea, to get the 49ers to release him. Before we get to our main event, we’ll highlight some of the other things brought up this week. Please note that keeping up with the timeline of Aiyuk’s Instagram posts is a job all of its own, but I think I found most of the notable ones. First is another video posted about him joining the Washington Commanders and his “mood”:...

For the 49ers to improve on their run to the divisional round of the playoffs last season and truly contend for the Super Bowl in 2026, there needs to be a stark improvement on defense.

Under Robert Saleh last season, the defense was able to close out games with key stops but, with injuries removing defensive cornerstones from the equation, the overall performance was sub-par.

Indeed, the 49er defense finished the season 24th in EPA per play allowed, and a dismal 3oth in success rate.

In other words, the 49ers regularly gave up explosive players and, more often than not,...

49ers’ George Kittle shares hilarious ‘welcome to the NFL’ restroom story featuring Joe Staley
“It’s one of those older, college bar vibes,” Kittle said. “So, the bathroom, it’s exactly what you think it looks like—like a rusty door that doesn’t really close, all that stuff. So, I’m peeing in the toilet in the stall, and there’s another rookie in there, in the other stall, and I just hear the door gets kicked open. And Joe Staley just goes, ‘One of you guys got to move! I got to go!'”

“He literally just takes the door off into my stall, and...

The San Francisco 49ers’ pass rush was abysmal in 2025. Injuries ravaged the defensive line, unfortunately, which led to Clelin Ferrell and Bryce Huff tying with four sacks, leading the team in sacks, and the team finished with fewer sacks than Myles Garrett. It feels like a joke to type those words out, but it is correct. There is little doubt the pass rush will be far more productive in 2026, simply because it is almost impossible to be worse.

Nick Bosa is back. The team traded for Osa Odighizuwa. Mykel Williams is off an injury, and the 49ers are...

Not to jinx it, but it’s been a few days since we’ve seen San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk post on social media. There’s no telling what’s going through Aiyuk’s brain when he’s posting these videos and taking shots at the organization.

What he’s failing to realize is that it’s costing him millions and his chances of playing in the league again. NFL Insider Jason La Canfora has compiled quotes from executives around the league. Unsurprisingly, the people in a position to pay Aiyuk are souring on the receiver.

La Canfora said, “NFL front offices at this point have...
