There've been Moneyball vibes to this 49ers offseason — but boosted by big-market drawing power. Cost-efficient signings, with the headliner (Mike Evans) coming thanks to the pull of 49ers' A-list stars (Purdy, Kittle), Shanahan + team culture (13 wins despite mass injury event)

The 49ers have added 7 outside players... Osa Odighizuwa Mike Evans Nate Hobbs Christian Kirk Brett Toth Vederian Lowe Corliss Waitman ... at a combined 2026 salary-cap hit of $33.3 million. For comparison, Maxx Crosby alone accounts for a $35.8 million cap hit with LV

@IsMyHawkOut @BayAreaTrev Who said that, he’s our best cb very worth it for his price point he’s just not played where his best skillset because we don’t have a bigger framed cb.

@hypersane24 @TheHitMan1776 @Emilio2763 No he got shit kicked he wasn’t trained to fight just to kill

@TheHitMan1776 @Emilio2763 So you kiIIed a kid in High School or what?

@TheHitMan1776 @Emilio2763 Now your dad is proud you have a Twitter account named the hit man oh how far you’ve came son
English
@Emilio2763 My dad was a 30 year Marine.
He taught my brothers and I to fight and defend ourselves.
What we didn’t realize until we were older was that he taught us deadly combat defense.
Basically how to kill your opponent in one or two moves.
I realized it in a fight I had high school.

@nickwalt @TomPelissero Cap if they told him he could go to Seattle or LA he’s on that flight tomorrow

"Maxx doesn't want to go anywhere."
NFL insider @TomPelissero's current reporting on the #Raiders situation is, "My understanding is when teams have been checking on this, they have been told the same thing that (Maxx Crosby) told everyone from Mark Davis to John Spytek to Klint Kubiak to Rob Leonard, which is Maxx wants to be a Raider. Maxx is no longer trying to get out of Las Vegas...
There are teams right now that would trade for Maxx Crosby. It could happen tomorrow. But Maxx is no longer of the mindset that he wants out. Maxx is of the opposite mindset which is, he is now a Raider again. He is going to do everything he can to be a part of the Raiders. Does that change? I don't get that sense."

@LombardiHimself Incoming Dave Lombardi tweet during the draft about how smart Lynch and Shannahan are for fooling everyone into thinking they wanted a WR….but just end up drafting another first round bust
English
Add Denzel Boston to KC Concepcion and Omar Cooper Jr. The top-30 receiver visits are piling up.
Laughing at how many were so sure the 49ers would no longer be interested in drafting a WR early after they signed Christian Kirk to a 1-year deal 🤣

@LombardiHimself One teams old and washed with mediocre coaching the other is young full of talent and with a coach who gets the most out of every player

You fundamentally misidentify the 49ers' biggest problems when they lost to Seattle — they were a lack of separation + defensive injury depletion.
2025 49ers' O-line was good enough to beat the Seahawks — and for the 49ers to statistically dominate them. That actually happened
805 County 🏈@HemiHorsepower
@LombardiHimself None of this suggests closing the gap on a 41-6 dismantling by the Seahawks. Would’ve rather had Biotonio.

Veteran guard Robert Jones is signing with the 49ers, sources tell The Insiders.
Jones played in 49 games (30 starts) for the Dolphins before signing with Dallas, where he missed last season because of a neck injury. He’s healthy now and headed to San Francisco.

highest paid ever can only get his lil 20 yards #lol

Jaxon Smith-Njigba vs. Deommodore Lenoir was an ultimate all-bark, no-bite matchup over 3 games between the 49ers and Seahawks this past season... JSN when Lenoir was covering him: 3 targets, 1 catch, 4 yards. Would actually be cool to see more head-to-head between these two
English
@49ersSportsTalk They could take 8 steps back and still be top 2 in the div with how bad the cards and niners are
English
The #Seahawks lost key pieces, paid JSN top WR $, paid Charles Cross top OT $, and now must pay Devon Witherspoon top CB $…
All with just 4 picks in the 2026 draft.
They were dominant in 2025—but 2026 could be a step back 👀

42 M’s a year for a guy that shys away from every team’s CB1 lmaooo
Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter
ESPN Sources: Offensive Player of the Year and Super-Bowl champion Jaxon Smith-Njigba reached agreement with the Seattle Seahawks on a four-year, $168.6 million contract extension that now makes him the highest-paid WR in NFL history. The deal averages $42.15 million per year, and includes over $120 million guaranteed, both setting records for any wide receiver. The deal was confirmed by @WINSportsGroup.

@LombardiHimself Not only do you look like the 3rd brother of beavis and butt head you’re the dumbest of the 3

The Seahawks did throw when they were down to the 49ers and lost last season
CJ (SUPER BOWL LX CHAMPS)@Cjswrld_2
@LombardiHimself why would we throw up 41-6
English
@LombardiHimself 41 on your head in a playoff game and for half the price you can have lenoir making business decisions after talking tough
English
Speaking of corners like Deommodore Lenoir, the Rams clearly traded for Trent McDuffie in large part to contest JSN.
LA needed a top corner — but that's a piece the 49ers already had at less than half the price the Rams got McDuffie (if the two first-rounders are factored in)... numbers from past 2 seasons:

Imagine what a bargain Brandon Aiyuk’s contract would’ve become by now had there simply been normalcy…
