By now you’ve heard every take under the sun when it comes to DeVondre Campbell’s cowardly exit from a forgettable 49ers tenure that didn’t even last a full season. The outrage on Friday morning at least partially overshadowed the latest chapter of a hellish 2024 49ers campaign. Tim Ryan weighed in on Monday morning after […]

Two weeks ago, the 49ers traveled north from Los Angeles in a stunned daze after coughing up what had looked like a sure win against the Rams. San Francisco said all the right things in the days following. Coaches and players assured fans that they’d learn from it, and that while these things happen, they […]

As for the 49ers, we turn to noted NFL fan and legendary documentarian Marty DiBergi, who once said: Enough of the off-season yakking. Whattya say. Let’s boogie. (Kids, you can look up Marty DiBergi later. Suffice to say, we hope the 49ers win total ‘goes to eleven’.) Point being, I spent the last six weeks […]

It’s been nearly seven months since the 49ers trudged off the field in Las Vegas, licking their latest fresh wound as the Chiefs danced with their third Lombardi. On Monday night, San Francisco’s season opener will end an off-season that was objectively the shortest of any team besides KC, but one that in many ways […]

At long last, we now know that the 49ers roster will be full strength in terms of its vital late summer holdouts. Trent Williams and Brandon Aiyuk are in Santa Clara and on the field, and they’re both a lot richer from the process. Everyone seems happy, and thus the collective focus has been shifted […]

After a summer that consistently featured no news, the last five days has been full of breaking news for the 49ers. Too much breaking news, in fact.  The Brandon Aiyuk months-long stalemate came to an official end on Thursday, as he inked a four-year $120 Million contract extension. $76 Million of that is guaranteed. On […]

In the exhaustive Brandon Aiyuk contract negotiation saga, any wrinkle in the stalemate has the potential to become headline news. Greg Papa kicked off his afternoon show with John Lund on Wednesday by predicting that the 49ers star wide receiver may practice this afternoon as the team prepares for its week one matchup against the […]

Negative on the Niners? PHOTO: KYLE TERADA Your Jock Blog author was accused of such saltiness today by a few of our loyal listeners. How so? Perhaps because I dared muse that the absence of Brandon Aiyuk, the injuries to Ricky Pearsall, the memories of a gashed run defense from last January and the all-around […]

Preseason football rarely satisfies the appetites of football hungry fans late in the summer. The stakes are obviously near zero for established players. Few even play, especially not for teams who make annual postseason pilgrimages that naturally shorten the off-season. But storylines persist, nevertheless. Brock Purdy played without most of his fellow offensive starters, the […]

2020 was a miserable season for 49er fans for a multitude of reasons. The pain of losing a Super Bowl the team should have won was still fresh when the world shut down due to Covid. A virtual draft and super shortened offseason later, a promising 2020 season soon melted into an injury riddled trudge […]

For as good as the current runner up 49ers are, they have issues.

Brandon Aiyuk’s contract saga has soured like a glass of milk in the warm Santa Clara sun. A once innocent back and forth, routine for the Kyle Shanahan 49ers nearly every summer, has quickly devolved into a nasty cold war with both sides entrenched in their stances. It’s been six months since the Niners endured […]
