  • Jed York explains 49ers roster exodus influenced by Brock Purdy contract, confident both sides come to deal
    Apr 2 2025

    At the 2025 NFL Annual Meeting, 49ers CEO Jed York revealed their offseason free-agency approach heavily was influenced by the decision as an organization to pay quarterback Brock Purdy. The 49ers dialed back their spending this offseason in preparation for the largest contract in franchise history, an investment York said the organization's brass is aligned with. Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss York's comments, his first publicly since their offseason departures, and weigh what number Purdy and the organization might land on in addition to when. Also, Matt and Jennifer review coach Kyle Shanahan's explanation on Kyle Juszczyk's offseason contract carousel as well as his belief i n the current iteration of the 49ers' offensive line and bringing in camp competition for kicker Jake Moody.

  • GM John Lynch provides updates on Brandon Aiyuk, Brock Purdy from 2025 NFL Annual League Meeting
    Mar 31 2025

    The 49ers' offseason rolls along this week from the 2025 NFL Annual League Meeting in Palm Beach, Fla. Team owners, executives, head coaches and other league personnel gather at this summit to discuss and vote upon important topics for the 2025 season. Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan caught up with 49ers general manager John Lynch during a scrum of local reporters for an update on San Francisco's offseason plans. Among the topics discussed were updates on Brandon Aiyuk's health and trade interest as well as Brock Purdy's impending contract extension. Matt and Jennifer discuss how the 49ers have executed their plans thus far and provide insight on how those efforts are perceived around the league. The pressure to pull off their offseason reboot seems welcomed by the front office, and the looming 2025 NFL Draft largely is where that effort will be evaluated both in the short and long term.

  • Why the 49ers must strike gold with their 2025 NFL Draft class
    Mar 25 2025

    With the 2025 NFL Draft now a month away and the number of roster losses vastly outweighing the gains, the 49ers now are more reliant than ever on the success of their rookies.

The duo also discuss which players on both lines of scrimmage make sense for the 49ers in the first round and beyond?
