#49ers GM John Lynch said the team hired an independent scientist to investigate the electrical substation. The scientist found what Lynch called a "big nothing burger." Lynch adds that no free agents or their reps even so much as asked about the substation during FA.


Good tool for 49ers with Mike Evans deal: Not Likely To Be Earned (NLTBE) incentives — any stat which wasn't met last season qualifies. Since Evans had only 368 receiving yards, most incentives would be NLTBE and therefore wouldn't count vs 2026 salary cap. Great way to make $14m APY expandable to $20m APY — protects team but simultaneously gives Evans upside

From Upton Stout’s early season struggles, to playing his best football of the season over the past month: “I feel like when playing nickel, you need reps. You gotta go through it to grow through it. That’s probably one of the biggest things. I knew it wasn’t just going to be peaches and cream and flowers and blossoms at the start of it. I knew I was going to have to take some bullets and I knew I was going to have to take some hits in the paint just so I can get better at it. I knew I wasn’t going to be like that for a long time. I just had to just keep going throughout all the trials and tribulations. And I knew at the end of the day, I would be on the rise.” via: @NBCS49ers
