49ers | Brock Purdy's deal has no-trade protection Mon May 19, 10:16 AM
Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy received a no-trade clause for the duration of his five-year deal.
Link to story 49ers | Monster extension for Brock Purdy Sat May 17, 12:07 AM
San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy agreed to terms on a five-year contract extension with the 49ers Friday, May 16, worth $265 million. The deal includes $181 million in guaranteed money, and Purdy will receive $165.05 million in the first three years of the extension.
| Footballguys view: For Purdy, "Mr. Irrelevant" as the last pick in the 2022 NFL draft, the new contract will go down as one of the biggest raises in NFL history. Under the terms of his rookie deal, he was set to count just $5.365 million against the cap in 2025. The new deal should come as no surprise. Since he took over as the starter for an injured Garoppolo in Week 13 of 2022, including playoffs, the Niners are 27-15 in games Purday started. In that time, he ranks third in the NFL in passing yards (9,452), first in yards per attempt (8.9) and seventh in touchdown passes (64). In 2024, playing missing key members of his supporting cast, including Christian McCaffrey (Achilles, knee), Brandon Aiyuk (knee), Trent Williams (ankle), tight end George Kittle (hamstring), and receiver Deebo Samuel (calf, illness, ribs) for varying amounts of time, Purdy finished as fantasy's QB13. He sits at QB14 on the 2025 Footballguys Projections. Investors could do worse for their QB2 this year. |

Link to story 49ers | Gabe Davis set to visit Mon May 12, 05:08 PM
Free-agent WR Gabe Davis (Jaguars) is scheduled to meet with the San Francisco 49ers in the near future, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: The Jaguars officially released Davis with a failed physical designation after he tore his meniscus in November, but he is expected to be ready to go for Week 1. As Profootballtalk.com notes, the 26-year-old Davis was a 2020 fourth-round pick of the Bills who played four seasons in Buffalo before signing in Jacksonville last season. He was a solid member of the Bills' receiving corps for four years but had his least productive season with the Jaguars. If he's healthy and in the right offense, he could be a solid contributor to some other team's passing game, and the 49ers may be that team. |

Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Any running back added to the 49ers roster will attract out attention. James can turn short passes into long gains with speed and quickness. We'll watch him in camp as he works to earn a roster spot behind starting RB Christian McCaffrey. |
49ers | San Francisco adds three to roster Fri May 9, 04:02 PM

Free-agent TE Ross Dwelley (Falcons) signed a one-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers on Friday, May 2. Financial terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Dwelley spent six seasons with the 49ers before signing with Atlanta last year. He appeared in every game for the Falcons last season and caught one pass for five yards in 105 offensive snaps. He also had one tackle on special teams. In his first 49ers stint, Dwelley had 44 catches for 518 yards and five touchdowns. George Kittle, Luke Farrell, Brayden Willis, Jake Tonges, and Mason Pline are the other 49ers tight ends on the 90-man roster. |

49ers | Unidentified team expressed interest in George Kittle Sat May 3, 09:54 AM
An unidentified NFL team expressed interest in trading for San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle approximately one week before he agreed to terms on a four-year, $76.4 million contract extension, according to a source. The 49ers were reportedly offered a second-round 2025 draft pick in exchange for Kittle.
| Footballguys view: This story has been out there for a bit after the draft. The team decided the second-round pick (if the reports are true) that was offered was not enough. While some reported an extension wasn't close, the truth was the 49ers didn't want to let him go. That's why he signed an extension and didn't get dealt. He's a top-tier fantasy tight end, and Kittle could be an even larger part of the offense with Deebo Samuel playing for the Commanders this year. |

49ers | San Francisco turned down George Kittle trade offer Fri May 2, 01:58 PM
San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $76.4 million earlier this week, but not before an unnamed team offered the 49ers a second-round draft pick during the 2025 NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: A second-round pick would have been a good deal for both sides, but the 49ers wanted to keep Kittle around as a key piece for their offense. Entering his age-32 season, with his new deal Kittle is under contract through 2029. Last year, Kittle finished with 78 catches for 1,106 yards and eight touchdowns. That was good for the best tight end mark in standard-scoring leagues, and Kittle has been a top-3 fantasy tight end in ever season but two in his pro career. |

Link to story 49ers | George Kittle gets paid Tue Apr 29, 09:15 AM
San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle agreed to a four-year, $76.4 million extension Tuesday, April 29. The deal includes $40 million guaranteed and makes him the highest-paid tight end in the league.
| Footballguys view: Kittle caught 78 passes and posted 1,106 yards and eight touchdowns. More importantly, for our purposes, while he was third in total fantasy points at the position behind Brock Bowers and Trey McBride, Kittle was first in points per game, with 15.8. This kind of finish is not new. Since his breakout in 2018, Kittle has been a top-five fantasy TE in six seasons where he played at least 14 games. With Deebo Samuel Sr. now a Washington Commander and with Brandon Aiyuk coming off a torn ACL, Kittle, currently TE3 on our 2025 projections, will continue to play a prominent role in the Niners' passing attack. |
