The 49ers have until next Tuesday to decide whether they’ll be buyers in the trade market

Under the Kyle Shanahan/John Lynch brain trust, the San Francisco 49ers have never been afraid to make an aggressive move prior to the trade deadline. However, despite having control of all their top picks, a middling record, and a laundry list of injuries, the Niners have yet to make any notable trade acquisitions.

And, with less than a week to go before the deadline, Lynch downplayed the team being close to any move during a radio appearance on KNBR on Wednesday.

“Nothing’s imminent right...

49ers overreactions: Is Shanahan’s play-calling limiting team?

“The New York Giants lead the NFL with 35 sacks, and all that has brought them is a 2-6 record. Could the Giants trade edge rusher Azeez Ojulari, who is on the final year of his contract? If he’s available, that would consider a good, hard look. The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday, Nov. 5.

Other outside pass-rushers with ties to the 49ers who could be available are Arden Key (Tennessee Titans) and Chase Young (New Orleans Saints). Za’Darius Smith...

The 49ers QB has unlocked a new aspect to his game that has made the offense more dangerous.

The San Francisco 49ers are entering a much-needed bye week at 4-4, coming off a 30-24 win over the Dallas Cowboys, which has placed them in a three-way tie for first place in the NFC West.

San Francisco hasn’t looked nearly as clean as they’d have liked to on both sides of the ball through the first half of the season, which has prompted some new elements to evolve.

A big part of that has been the ascension of a number of...

The 49ers have seen multiple leads erased this season. That needs to change in the second half.

The San Francisco 49ers pulled off a 30-24 victory over the Dallas Cowboys last Sunday, improving to 4-4 ahead of their bye week, which comes at a much-needed time as the team nurses a number of injuries.

It was a game where the 49ers came out slow, losing 10-6 at halftime, but exploded with a 21-point third quarter to give the team a comfortable lead heading into the final quarter.

But, as the team has done on numerous occasions this year, the 49ers...

Plus, a nose tackle who will help stop the run.

The San Francisco 49ers have been linked to the wide receiver position as we approach next week’s trade deadline. It makes sense, given Brandon Aiyuk’s season-ending injury, Jauan Jennings missing a couple of games, and Deebo Samuel being in and out of the lineup this season.

Ricky Pearsall’s recent emergence and the potential return of Christian McCaffrey take some of the sting out of losing Aiyuk. There’s still plenty of firepower on the offensive side of the ball.

But it’s the defensive side of the ball that could stand to...

History would suggest the answer is a strong “yes.”

The 49ers are 4-4 with their bye week approaching and the trade deadline approaching. A win against Dallas has to be viewed as a confidence builder, with the team getting healthier and welcoming back reinforcements. Ricky Pearsall, Malik Mustapha, Dominick Puni, and Isaac Guerendo all have stepped in at points...

“Apparently Nick Bosa don’t want no problems with a question.”

Prominent sports and culture commentator Bomani Jones released a 16-minute segment discussing San Francisco 49ers edge rusher Nick Bosa’s decision to interrupt a postgame interview with his teammates after Sunday’s victory over the Cowboys to showcase a Make America Great Again hat in support of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Jones specifically zoomed in on Bosa’s refusal to expand on his actions during his postgame media availability.

“What you mean you’re not going to talk too much about it, partner?” Jones said, responding to Bosa’s press comments. “You made that...

There’s a long way to go, but the Niners are in a good spot heading into their bye week.

The San Francisco 49ers are back in the driver’s seat halfway through the season of the NFC West.

Why the 49ers are favored to win the NFC West

The Niners are tied with the Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks in the win/loss column. The Cardinals and Seahawks have yet to play this season.

According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the 49ers are favorites to win the division, with the Cardinals having the second-best odds:

49ers (-110)
Cardinals (+290)
Seahawks (+500)
[Los Angeles...

The 49ers rookie put on a performance in a big way on Sunday.

When the San Francisco 49ers selected wide receiver Ricky Pearsall in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, many assumed that it meant the team would move on from one of their top receivers in the near future, be it Deebo Samuel, Jauan Jennings, or Brandon Aiyuk.

Well, the team re-signed Jennings to a two-year deal. Then, they restructured Samuel’s contract, making it financially difficult to move off him before his deal ends after next season. And finally, they extended Aiyuk on a four-year, $120 million...

Our condolence’s go out to the Ward family

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Charvarius Ward suffered heartbreaking news and a tragic loss on Monday. ESPN’s Adam Schefter announced Charvarius and Monique Ward’s daughter, Amani Joy, passed away.

Here’s Ward’s message from his Instagram:

“We are heartbroken that our beautiful baby girl, Amani Joy, passed away on Monday morning. She was the best blessing we could have asked for, and her joyous spirit made us smile from ear to ear. She taught us to have patience, trust, and a positive outlook on life. She showed us true strength and bravery. She overcame...

The rollercoaster of the power rankings continues for the Niners

Heading into their bye week, the 49ers sit at 4-4. Depending on your perspective, this is either a win or loss through eight weeks. On the one hand, the 49ers have kicked away winnable games and limped into their bye week at .500. On the other hand, the 49ers are still in contention for the NFC West title with reinforcements on the way, and an experienced team that has been in this position before.

But is the NFL media convinced the 49ers will flip the switch? Let’s look around the...

The Carolina Panthers are likely to be sellers, and a rental at wide receiver isn’t the worst idea for the 49ers.

With Brandon Aiyuk down for the year after tearing his ACL, MCL, and meniscus, the San Francisco 49ers are a possible buyer in the wide receiver market.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan was asked on Monday whether the team would address wide receiver at the deadline, given the injuries on the team:

“It’s not necessarily just try to address certain positions. You look at what’s available that you think can help your team get better. And if there’s anything out...
