49ers land Jack Jones on terms after visit

Free-agent cornerback Jack Jones has agreed to terms with the San Francisco 49ers after his visit, returning to the NFL after starting all 17 games for the Dolphins last season (980 snaps) with 77 tackles, an interception, six pass breakups and two forced fumbles. A 2022 Patriots fourth‑round pick, Jones has appeared in 59 games with 38 starts in his career, including stints with the Raiders and Dolphins, and has 136 tackles, seven interceptions and four interception-return TDs across his NFL tenure.

49ers add starting-caliber cornerback Jack Jones on a one-year pact

The San Francisco 49ers signed cornerback Jack Jones to a one-year deal. Jones started all 17 games for the Dolphins last season and logged heavy snap counts in two seasons between the Dolphins and Raiders, adding veteran depth to San Francisco’s cornerback room. Despite being undersized at 5’10” and 171 lbs, he’s been deployed primarily as the field corner with occasional slot/dime duties, and he has produced 18 pass breakups and four interceptions across 2023–24.

49ers bolster edge rush with Cam Sample as draft nears

The San Francisco 49ers signed veteran edge rusher Cam Sample to a one-year deal to bolster depth ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. Sample, a 2021 Bengals fourth‑round pick who missed 2024 with a torn Achilles, posted 12 pressures in 2025 and has experience as both an edge and interior rusher. The move follows the decision not to re-sign Yetur Gross-Matos, giving San Francisco a durable, versatile piece to spell starters and support a developing rotation on passing downs as they head into the 17-game season.

Raiders Lead the Free-Agent Makeover, Top the Five-Team Improvement List

Sports Illustrated ranks the five NFL teams that improved the most in free agency this offseason, placing the Las Vegas Raiders at No. 1 for a cohesive coaching alignment and impactful signings (including Linderbaum and strengthened edge/linebacker depth) that could lift their competitiveness; No. 2 the San Francisco 49ers, boosted by Mike Evans and interior pass-rush upgrade Odighizuwa; No. 3 the Denver Broncos, with Jaylen Waddle adding explosiveness and a stronger offense and defense; No. 4 the Los Angeles Rams, rebuilding the cornerback room around Watson and McDuffie; and No. 5 the Houston Texans, adding Braden Smith, Wyatt Teller, David Montgomery and Reed Blankenship to stabilize the O-line and defense. The piece frames these moves as a potential catalyst for better results and schedules this coming season.

Aiyuk's 49ers Future Hangs in the Balance as Mixed Signals Surface

Brandon Aiyuk’s long-term future with the 49ers remains unresolved after NFL owners meetings yielded mixed signals: Shanahan suggested there’s no rush to move on and that the situation will eventually be resolved, while York indicated there’s room for a potential reunion if Aiyuk can get healthy and perform. The relationship has been strained by contract issues and off-field controversy, and San Francisco has begun preparing for life without him, though a final decision has not been made.

Shanahan questions value of opening 2026 NFL season in Australia

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said there’s not much benefit to starting the 2026 NFL season in Melbourne, despite the league’s international slate, with San Francisco opening as the away team in Australia and later facing a Mexico City game as a home contest; he noted there are eight international games that year and the 49ers have two of them, adding the schedule is imposed and there’s rarely a bye after Melbourne.

49ers skip Trent Williams option as cap hit rises, extension talks loom

The 49ers did not exercise a $10 million option bonus for Trent Williams, raising his 2025 cap hit from about $38 million to over $47 million. The team plans to rework his deal before the NFL Draft, with an extension expected to save roughly $16.8 million in cap space for 2026 (about $15.7 million via restructuring) and push Williams toward a higher guarantees tier once a new contract is reached.

49ers forgo Trent Williams option bonus, pursue new contract ahead of draft

The 49ers will not exercise the $10 million option bonus for left tackle Trent Williams, which would push his 2026 cap to about $47 million and leave no guaranteed money in the final year of his deal. With negotiations stalled, San Francisco intends to rework Williams’s contract and keep him through the April draft, though the terms could change if no agreement is reached.

Licht: Bucs offered more to Evans, but he chose a new chapter with the 49ers

Jason Licht said Tampa Bay’s initial offer to Mike Evans was significantly higher than the 49ers’ deal, but Evans wanted a fresh chapter after last season’s playoff miss. Licht cited Evans’ competitiveness, a crowded Bucs receiving room, and the addition of Emeka Egbuka as factors in the decision, and emphasized the team did all it could to keep him. Evans signed a three-year, $42.4 million contract with $14.3 million guaranteed with San Francisco.

Bucs Offered Evans More, But He Chose SF for a New Challenge

The Buccaneers offered Mike Evans a significantly higher contract than the 49ers, but Evans opted for a new chapter with San Francisco on a three-year, $42.5 million deal. Licht said Evans was the best offensive player TB has had, and noted the crowded Tampa WR room and Evans’ desire for a fresh challenge as factors in the move, with SF providing a clearer No. 1 role.
