Today is the day. The San Francisco 49ers and the entire NFL have their deadline to cut down their rosters to 53 players. With the season kicking off on Sunday, September 7th, the initial 53-man roster is far from concrete, but the team does have tough decisions to make. With that being said, let’s get into my final prediction for the first 53-man roster.

QB: Brock Purdy and Mac Jones

This is simple. Purdy and Jones will be the two quarterbacks kept as the 49ers crunch the numbers and sneak players on at other positions. It’s safe to assume that...

Tuesday is officially cutdown day in the NFL. Teams have a limited time to finalize their rosters. We’re keeping track of any notable names that might be able to help the San Francisco 49ers.

The New York Giants waived 2022 third-round pick Greg Dulcich. The 6’4″, 245-pound receiver caught 33 passes for 411 yards as a rookie with the Denver Broncos, but got the boot last year after Denver brought in a new coach. Dulcich did not catch a pass last season for the New York Giants.

Pass catchers will be the theme here. The Miami Dolphins waived Erik Ezukanma,...

Last year, the 49ers were a popular pick by many for a Super Bowl appearance. That didn’t exactly happen. They went 6-11, and the less said of that season, the better.

This year, the 49ers don’t have nearly as many predictions for playing football in February. They’ve retooled the roster and gotten younger, letting veterans like Dre Greenlaw walk or be traded like Deebo Samuel. The 49ers are in no way a bad team, but they are not the juggernaut they appeared to be this time a year ago. Well, on paper anyway

Brian Robinson provides 49ers better thump, more options as WR depth remains thin (paywall)
“The 49ers, in fact, hosted Robinson on a pre-draft visit in April 2022. Running backs coach Bobby Turner was recovering from knee surgery that season, and Turner’s protege, Anthony Lynn, served as Robinson’s tour guide for the visit.

Robinson noted Monday that Lynn has been the Commanders’ running backs coach for the past two seasons, which ought to make for a smooth transition in San Francisco. He said the 49ers’ verbiage is different, but the concepts are similar to what he ran with Washington.

“It’s the...

We’ve been tracking any potential waiver wire cuts, as well as potential trade requests by wide receivers, for a reason. The San Francisco 49ers need help at the position because they are thinner than ever.

So it shouldn’t come as a surprise when The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports that Amari Cooper, who recently signed with the Las Vegas Raiders, drew interest from the 49ers re-joining the Raiders.

The 49ers don’t entertain the idea of a player like Cooper without their wide receiver room decimated with injuries. It also could be a sign that players like Jordan Watkins, who is currently...

The NFL’s 53-man roster cutdown deadline is just 24 hours away, which will result in a flurry of moves across the league as teams scale down from 90 players. The San Francisco 49ers began their cuts with a first wave of players on Monday, but the majority of moves will likely come Tuesday ahead of the 1:00 p.m. deadline.

While the cutdown deadline results in quite a few subtractions, it’s also an opportunity for teams to add, either via waivers or free agency, to their active roster or the practice squad.

The 49ers have been hit hard with injuries, which...

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers recently met with the team brass and requested to be traded. The Raiders and Meyers attempted to negotiate a new contract, but couldn’t agree on terms. According to Rapoport, the Raiders have no plan to trade Meyers.

The San Francisco 49ers were interested in Meyers last year. Michael Silver, of The San Francisco Chronicle at the time, reported that the Niners inquired about Meyers’ availability:

I’ve since learned from sources inside and outside the building that the 49ers reached out to numerous other teams in attempts...

The 2025 NFL regular season draws closer by the day. With the preseason wrapped up, NFL cutdown day is the next benchmark before the games actually count. Now is the time to start targeting future props for the 2025 season.

The San Francisco 49ers have a new-look team coming off a disappointing 6-11 2024 campaign, as they’re set to take on the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field to kick off the season on September 7th.

It’s been a much different offseason for the 49ers, who elected not to splash on a marquee free agent and instead focused their efforts towards new deals for key players and the 2025 NFL Draft, where they tied for the league-high with 11 selections.

Several of those rookies, including first-round pick Mykel Williams, should play prominent roles in 2025, and the 49ers now have a...

The San Francisco 49ers announced a handful of transactions ahead of Monday’s practice. Quarterbacks Carter Bradley and Tanner Mordecai were waived/injured. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said he believed Mac Jones would be ready by Week 1. Now that the preseason is over, Brock Purdy will take the lion’s share of reps at practice.

Defensive linemen Jaylon Allen and Shakel Brown were waived, while running back Ke’Shawn Vaughn was released. Offensive tackle Isaiah Prince was placed on the Injured Reserve List.

Brown played 23 snaps in the season finale and recorded one pressure while batting a pass. It’s never easy when...

It was always strange when Jauan Jennings asked for a contract extension the year after signing one. That’s not typically how teams do business. It’s certainly not how the San Francisco 49ers operate.

He likely feels slighted after being robbed of a 1,000-yard season. Jennings’ base salary is $1.17 million in 2025. When you add his signing and option bonuses to the base salary, Jennings is guaranteed $3.27 million this year. Jennings is making Trent Sherfield and Skyy Moore money. I wouldn’t be in a rush to return, either.

If you look at it from the 49ers’ perspective, they see...

Kawakami: The 49ers could place Jauan Jennings on IR if this stalemate isn’t resolved soon (paywall)
“The mentioning of IR by the 49ers also, let’s be clear, could be a tacit threat to the Jennings camp to try to get him back on the practice field in time to be ready for Week 1.

But an IR move also could be a nervous compromise and delay tactic for this increasingly tense situation. Both sides would lose some things, but not everything.

If Jennings goes on IR this week, the 49ers would pick up a valuable extra spot for their battered...
