The San Francisco 49ers announced they have released linebacker Milo Eifler on Monday afternoon after signing linebacker Larry Worth to a 3-year deal.

Worth spent his collegiate career at Jacksonville State and Arkansas, where he started 21 times across 47 games. In 2025, Worth started 11 games and had 64 tackles. Worth led all Razorbacks at Arkansas’s Pro Day with a 37.5″ vertical jump. He also had a broad jump of 11-foot-2 inches, which would have tied first-round pick Sonny Styles for the furthest jump at the NFL Combine. He ran a 4.66 40-yard dash at 226 pounds.

The San Francisco 49ers made two of the biggest acquisitions in the NFL this offseason during free agency. They signed wide receiver Mike Evans and then traded for defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa two days later.

Just like that, the 49ers addressed two of their biggest weaknesses during the first window of free agency. Today’s question asks which of those two will have a bigger impact in 2026.

While it’s a question that seems obvious on the surface, availability has to be factored in here. Evans played eight games last season. He missed three the season before, and two more in...

The San Francisco 49ers roster is looking set after an eventful 2026 NFL Draft, where they made several trades and had one of the more polarizing draft classes in the NFL.

That came after a quality free agency, where San Francisco addressed depth at wide receiver, linebacker, cornerback, and offensive line, rounding out their roster after relying more on younger players in 2025.

Still, there are players expected to step up into bigger roles for the 49ers, as San Francisco looks to push back into contender status this season.

Who are some of the breakout candidates for the 49ers this...

The San Francisco 49ers made the playoffs in 2025, were among the best teams in the strongest conference and division, but still felt like they were a tier below the Seahawks and the Rams.

The gap is primarily due to the rosters. The 49ers’ top-heavy approach didn’t work out last year because their stars went down with injury. It’s why adding depth and laying the foundation in this draft was so critical for the Niners.

An aggressive offseason put San Francisco back in the catbird seat of the NFC. My early prediction is that they’ll battle the Rams, Lions, and...

The San Francisco 49ers have received quite a bit of criticism for their 2026 NFL Draft, notably for taking several players higher than the consensus boards have them.

After the draft, general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan were quite confident in their process, pointing out their own consensus board within the organization, as they justified their draft process.

Some of the most notable picks were wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling, whom the 49ers took at No. 33 despite evaluators primarily projecting him as a late second-round pick, and running back Kaelon Black, whom the 49ers took at No....

Don’t be shocked that San Francisco 49ers fourth-round pick offensive tackle Carver Willis may be kept far away from the position in the pros. He isn’t. He’s known since college.

“Any talks about the NFL have never involved tackle,” Willis said when meeting with the media during the 49ers’ rookie minicamp. “Ever. Even with coaches in college, it just hasn’t involved left tackle.”

The moment his name was called in the 2026 NFL Draft, Willis was speculated as a possible candidate for the 49ers’ left guard spot.

This means Willis’ future involves the inside. Maybe at center, or maybe he’s...

Five Major Takeaways from 49ers Rookie Minicamp
“You can tell he played left tackle for six years in college. He’s built like a left tackle, which means he carries his weight effortlessly. In fact, he wears no. 74 — Joe Staley’s old number — and even moves a bit like him.

Willis is moving to guard because he has short arms. But he already looks like a better athlete than Connor Colby, who started six games at left guard as a rookie last season. I wouldn’t be surprised if Willis beats out Colby for that job this year.”

Maybe the NFL did learn from the mistake that was the Fail Mary.

The NFL and the NFL Referees Association have reached a seven-year collective bargaining agreement. The deal dodges a work stoppage and ends the anticipation dread of replacement refs getting their second crack at the pro leagues.

Based on the media reports, the deal includes increased access to officials in the offseason, a bench of officials, and a new formal training program. All of this is way better than the small college officials getting a four-day training camp if the NFL couldn’t secure the new CBA.

The wait is over. Well, it is for Jauan Jennings, who signed a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings for $8 million, with a chance to hit $13 million in incentives.

There will not be a compensatory pick going to the San Francisco 49ers for this. For two reasons pointed out by Jason Hurley. The first is that this signing comes after the April 27 deadline. That really should be the end of the discussion there. Once the NFL Draft begins, any unrestricted free agent who is signed with a team is not factored into the NFL’s compensatory pick formula....

The date for the NFL schedule release has been set, and the league has turned it into an event. May 14th is the day fans will find out when their team will face their opponent list. As far as the San Francisco 49ers go, they already have two international games, including the season opener in Australia against the Los Angeles Rams. Fans eagerly await the schedule to buy tickets and plan trips to cheer on their favorite team.

The schedule release is a big deal, not only for travel plans but also for teams to see how their opponents are...

The San Francisco 49ers announced that they’ve signed six of their rookie draft picks on Friday afternoon: De’Zhaun Stribling
Kaelon Black
Carver Willis
Ephesians Prysock
Enrique Cruz Jr.

That means the rookie defensive linemen, Romello Height and Gracen Halton, remain unsigned. With rookie minicamp underway, each rookie from the draft class was assigned a number:

Stribling: 15
Height: 94
Black: 26
Halton: 93
Willis: 74
Prysock: 41
Dugger: 53
Cruz: 69

Each rookie signed to a four-year deal.

Stribling gets Jauan Jennings’ old number, while Halton will take over for the jersey Kalia Davis previously wore. If Dugger gives the...

This time last year, we asked how you felt about the job John Lynch was doing as the general manager of the San Francisco 49ers.

Lynch took over a roster that was arguably the worst in the NFL back in 2017. Lynch had an opportunity to draft two potential franchise quarterbacks that year, but, like every other team in the top-10, passed in favor of another position. The Niners felt like they could wait on a quarterback in 2017. They selected one in the third round.

The 49ers netted an extra third-round pick in 2017 thanks to a trade. They...
