@Coach_Yac Wow. Predicting specific injuries. Class.

Eric Branch has some interesting predictions for the 49ers this season: • The 49ers over-reliance on aging 30-something players due to their series of lackluster recent drafts will catch up to them (and those NFL-record travel miles won’t help): They will finish 9-8, miss the playoffs and finish in third place in the NFC West behind the Rams and Seahawks • The Brandon Aiyuk saga will somehow get more bizarre — and the former All-Pro wide receiver won’t play in the NFL in 2026 • Best value draft pick: Guard Carver Willis. The fourth-round pick will win the training-camp battle with Robert Jones for the starting left-guard opening. DT Gracen Halton, a fellow fourth-rounder, will be a close runner-up • Kittle will make his season debut in Week 2 after suffering a torn Achilles in January • Purdy will miss two starts with a sprained AC joint. His season stats: 3,772 yards, 25 TDs, 11 INTs, completing 68.1% of his passes • The story that will be written during the season? The lack of impact from the Niners’ 11-man 2025 draft class • Notable players who won’t make the 53-man roster: WR Demarcus Robinson, LB Nick Martin, RB Isaac Guerendo, CB Darrell Luter Jr. and DE Sam Okuayinonu • WR De’Zhaun Stribling will have 36 catches for 458 yards and 3 TDs this season • McCaffrey, Pearsall, Evans, Trent Williams and Bosa will combine to miss at least 25 games • Best free-agent signing: Evans. That bargain three-year contract he signed makes it easy for the 49ers to part ways after 2026. They won’t spend a second considering his release • Worst free-agent signing: Linebacker Dre Greenlaw. His reunion after one season away is a feel-good story. His recent injury history? Bad news via: @Eric_Branch

@LombardiHimself Wow the UFL and soon to be NFL mvps on the same team! A joke but Brock has the potential

The 49ers will work out QB Jack Plummer, who is Brock Purdy's age and who went to HS in the same town (Gilbert, Arizona) as Purdy. Plummer went to Gilbert HS; Purdy went to Perry so the two obviously know each other. The 6-4 Plummer is the reigning UFL MVP; could help SF work out potential signees and could thrust himself into the QB mix this offseason

@JavierVeg_ Cowing can be the returner. And play wr.

Robinson or Cowing. I’d welcome Deebo back.

@Coach_Yac I see cowing being slotted as the returner to make room

The 49ers WR room: Mike Evans Ricky Pearsall De'Zhaun Stribling Christian Kirk Jordan Watkins Demarcus Robinson Jacob Cowing I’m seeing a lot of people pounding the table to sign Deebo Samuel. I get it, I was doing this months ago. But who are you removing in order to sign him? Keep in mind, teams carry 5 or 6 receivers on the active 53-man roster during the season

@MikeFinn49 Vet minimum with a lot of incentives.

This is the only version of Deebo I'd be willing to see on the roster again. It's chip on your shoulder Deebo or stay away.

@Coach_Yac Yes. But his skills and ability shouldn’t be questioned when healthy. When you going on with @sportslarryk ? The public wants it.

@keith_falcone He was banged up in TC before

No days off for Ricky Pearsall

@Graham_SFN Who does he bump? I see Evans, Kirk, pearsall, stribling, Watkins and cowing as locks. I figured Robinson would get cut. Cowing be the returner and Deebo 6th wr?

Honestly I had no interest in the return of Deebo until I checked in on what he has been doing this offseason He looks like he’s in pre-contract shape and I’m sure this has been a humbling experience for him not being on a roster A hungry, motivated Deebo is a hard Deebo to stop I’d be down to run it back

@TylerCLaRocca He’s 100% better than Goff, Hurts, Maye, Prescott, and there’s a lot of others up for discussions. SI clowns. G Cohn works for them.

Good spot

@LombardiHimself Ethan Pocic (age 31 blew Achilles in Dec) was cleared a few days ago after the same injury, why can’t Kittle make it back by sept?

George Kittle and Kyle Juszczyk posted a video from their three-day Stem Cell Institute treatment in Panama. Both have been going there for years. If Kittle can make a miraculous return by Week 1, maybe these guys will also deserve a bit of credit

Looks like if 31 year old can do, so can Kittle. Thoughts @JL_Chapman @sportslarryk

@Coach_Yac First block he made in two years

Luke Farrell is gearing up for training camp He’s on the second year of his three-year $15.7M deal with the 49ers

@JNay_LSS @AlSacco49 No doubt Purdy is better than Goff and Maye.

@AlSacco49 I have Purdy above Darnold. However I do think there is a majore argument for Darnold above Purdy. Based on back to back good seasons with different teams and a ring.

I think QB rankings are mostly subjective & I view Purdy around 10ish. But having Darnold & Williams ahead of him is crazy to me. Williams is talented but, for example, hasn’t showed the accuracy yet to be a top 10 QB imo For Purdy though, has to clean up the TO worthy throws

@JNay_LSS I have him 7-10 with a possibility to be league mvp if he tops out.

So the league essentially has Brock 14... sobering

@Coach_Yac 6-10 are interchangeable and he’s at least that good

Brock Purdy was NOT voted as a Top-10 QB by NFL coaches, executives and scouts Brock was listed under honorable mentions An NFC executive said: “He’s got two superpowers. Layering the ball and short-area quickness to stay alive. He’s elite in those two areas.” Thoughts? 🤔

@Coach_Yac At least post some on field work. In whatever helmet you want.

Brandon Aiyuk’s latest IG story…

@gkittle46 @JL_Chapman And MetLife!

Also this grass looks great on Sofi’s field… wonder if we could get that all season

USA USA USA

@thewaynebreezie SB of course.

Good morning, Faithful ☕️ If you could guarantee ONE thing for the 49ers in 2026... 🔘 Brock Purdy MVP season 🔘 Nick Bosa DPOY 🔘 Christian McCaffrey 2,000 total yards 🔘 Super Bowl appearance Which one are you taking? #FTTB

@Coach_Yac @JasonLaCanfora @49erswebzone If only Jason was ever right……once.

The 49ers are among a handful of teams that could trade for Steelers pass-rusher Alex Highsmith Highsmith had 9.5 sacks and 44 pressures last season for Pittsburgh per: @JasonLaCanfora | h/t: @49erswebzone

@TylerCLaRocca Dude you’re a clown. Last time I talk to you

He leads the NFL in TWP at 20+ yards… is that the stat he’s talking about him leading? LOL
