WR Davante Adams reportedly open to joining 49ers if released by Jets
“According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Adams could be interested in playing for San Francisco, among other teams. “The Jets must address the future of receiver Davante Adams, whose $38.3 million cap hit is untenable,” Fowler said. “A source told me Adams is intrigued by a return to the West Coast and would be open to potentially joining teams such as the Rams or Chargers — if he gets released. I would put the 49ers in the conversation, too. Adams grew up in Northern California.”
Additionally, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network suggested the Jets will not carry Adams at his current price. He believes Adams will want to be on the West Coast, though he did not mention any teams.”
Kittle reveals how 49ers QB Purdy improved during 2024 season
“One of my favorite things about Brock this year for improvement, he was very vocal on the field,” Kittle said. “He’s 24 years old, or 25, something like that. He got the reins when he was 22 years old and for him to be vocal on the field now ... because usually when you see a wide receiver like misses his landmark or goes too far down the field [49ers coach] Kyle Shanahan usually is the one yelling at him, the wide receiver coach is yelling at him. Now it’s Brock.”
Kittle clarified that Purdy’s vocalness isn’t reserved only for practices, as the 25-year-old signal-caller isn’t shy about correcting teammates during games. A key detail Kittle mentioned is that Purdy is able to communicate these corrections to teammates in a respectful manner.
“He does that during the game. It’s not in a disrespectful way,” Kittle said. “It’s like, ‘Hey man, you’re screwing me, so you like need to figure out so I can get you the ball in the timing of the play, because that’s coach Shanahan’s offense. It’s all timing. It’s like width, steps, all that type of stuff. And so when a receiver or tight end messes that up, he’s [Purdy] on them, and I really appreciate that about Brock.
“And it’s not in a disrespectful way, but it’s coming from like a, ‘I need you to be on your stuff so we can win football games.”
