  • 49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Expected back during training camp

    Hufanga (knee) is expected to return to the mix "sometime in training camp," according to coach Kyle Shanahan, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports. Hufanga tore his ACL during Week 11 action last season, so look for the safety to work his way back gradually once he resumes on-field activities. Prior to sustaining his injury, the 2021 fifth-rounder had recorded 52 tackles and three picks in 10 regular-season contests. Once Hufanga is fully recovered, he'll have an opportunity to reclaim his role as the 49ers' starting strong safety.

  • 49ers' Dre Greenlaw: Wants to be ready for Week 1

    Greenlaw (Achilles) is shooting to be ready for the start of the season, according to GM John Lynch, but he may need to start the season on the PUP list, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Greenlaw had surgery days after the Super Bowl to repair a torn left Achilles tendon he suffered during the game. How likely it is the Arkansas product will be ready Week 1 likely won't be known until the team arrives for training camp in late July.

  • 49ers' Charvarius Ward: Will be ready for camp

    Ward (groin) underwent core-muscle surgery in February, but he should be ready for training camp according to GM John Lynch, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Ward had previously announced the surgery via his Instagram in February, but details of what the procedure was for and recovery time were absent. His ability to be ready to take the field for camp should have him suiting up Week 1 in 2024, assuming the 27-year-old doesn't suffer any setbacks in his recovery.

    Joseph-Day signed a contract with the Titans on Tuesday, Nick Suss of The Tennessean reports. Joseph-Day closed out last season with the 49ers after previously playing with the Chargers and Rams.

  • Saints' Chase Young: In line for neck surgery

    Young is slated to undergo neck surgery that will keep him sidelined until at least training camp, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. On the heels of signing a one-year, $13 million contract with the Saints on Monday, Young now will address an injury that may stem from the stinger that he suffered back in the 2023 preseason and resulted in him being inactive for Week 1. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 Draft, he spent the first three and a half seasons of his career with Washington before landing with the 49ers at the trade deadline in October. Young has 16.5 sacks among his 100 tackles in 43 career contests.

  • Saints' Chase Young: Officially joins New Orleans

    The Saints and Young agreed to a contract Monday. According to Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com, Young's new deal will be for one year. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 Draft, Young earned Defensive Rookie of the Year honors to kick off his career, but his next two seasons were derailed by injuries, and he split 2023 between the Commanders and 49ers. With 16.5 sacks in 43 games in his first four campaigns, he'll be a part of a New Orleans pass rush that features Cameron Jordan and Carl Granderson.

  • Chase Young: Looks set to sign with New Orleans

    Young is expected to sign a contract with the Saints after visiting with the team Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Young, the No. 2 overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft and former Defensive Rookie of the Year, was acquired by the 49ers prior to last season's trade deadline. He tallied 2.5 sacks across nine regular-season games with San Francisco but was allowed to walk in free agency, where it looks like he'll get a fresh start in New Orleans. Young looks to finally be back in top form after knee issues significantly hampered him in 2021 and 2022, and it would be an ideal situation for him to pair with (and learn from) veteran defensive end Cameron Jordan with the Saints.

  • Eagles' Oren Burks: Inks deal with Eagles

    Burks signed a one-year contract worth up to $2.5 million with Philadelphia on Saturday, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports. Burks saw the most defensive work of his career with San Francisco last season, tallying 308 defensive snaps and accumulating a career-best 46 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, over 15 regular-season games. He also continued to play on special teams, which had been his primary role in the NFL prior to last year. Burks will likely provide depth at linebacker for Philadelphia in the coming campaign while adding value as a core special-teamer.

  • 49ers' Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles: Back with San Francisco

    The 49ers re-signed Flannigan-Fowles on a one-year deal Friday. Flannigan-Fowles will remain in San Francisco after spending the first four years of his career with the 49ers. The veteran linebacker has appeared in 61 games during his time in San Francisco, primarily contributing on special teams (1,100 of 1,566 career snaps on special teams). Expect Flannigan-Fowles to compete for a similar role once again this offseason.

  • 49ers' Yetur Gross-Matos: Signs with San Francisco

    The 49ers signed Gross-Matos to a two-year, $18 million contract Thursday. Gross-Matos was the 38th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft by the Panthers but never developed into a top-end pass rusher off the edge in Carolina. He registered just 13 sacks across four seasons, including a career-best 4.5 in 2023. Perhaps new Niners DC Nick Sorensen can get more out of the 26-year-old.

  • Jaguars' Arik Armstead: Landing in Jacksonville

    The Jaguars are slated to sign Armstead (knee), Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Armstead, whose deal is reportedly for three years and $51 million, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, immediately becomes a linchpin of Jacksonville's defensive front, fixing a huge need for the team along the interior of the defensive line. The 30-year-old is recovering from surgery undergone to address a torn meniscus, which he played through during the 49ers' postseason run.

  • 49ers' Kevin Givens: Staying in San Fran another year

  • Arik Armstead: Release made official

    Armstead (knee) was released by the 49ers on Wednesday. Releasing Armstead will save the team $18 million in cap space in 2024. The 49ers were interested in retaining the veteran defensive tackle, but they will go their separate ways after failing to agree on a restructured deal. Armstead is recovering from surgery on a torn meniscus through which he played during the postseason, but he's expected to have a robust market in free agency nonetheless. San Francisco agreed to a trade for Texans defensive tackle Maliek Collins to help fill the hole created by Armstead's departure.

  • 49ers' Maliek Collins: Traded from Houston to SF

    Collins is slated to be traded from the Texans to the 49ers in exchange for a seventh-round draft pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Javon Hargrave dealt with a torn ligament in his thumb down the stretch, and the 49ers are expected to release Arik Armstead (knee); therefore, the addition of Collins solves San Francisco's need for a defensive tackle. Collins started 16 games for the Texans in 2023 and set a new career high in tackles (41) while tying his previous best mark with 5.0 sacks.

  • 49ers' George Odum: Signing extension

    Odum is set to sign a two-year contract extension, which could be worth up to $10 million, with the 49ers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Odum had one year left on his three-year contract signed in 2022, but he'll now be slated to stay in San Fransisco for at least the next three seasons. The 30-year-old has been a standout on special teams, earning All-Pro honors in 2020, and should continue in that role in 2024.

  • 49ers' Javon Kinlaw: Set to join jets

    Kinlaw agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the Jets on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Kinlaw was drafted by the 49ers in 2020 and has spent four years there. He finished the 2023 campaign with 25 tackles (13 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and three passes defensed across 17 games as a depth interior lineman. He will play a similar role in New York while he works to earn reps behind Quinton Jefferson (groin) and Quinnen Williams.

  • 49ers' Arik Armstead: Set to be released by San Francisco

    The 49ers are expected to release Armstead (knee) in the coming days, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports. Armstead is entering the final year of his five-year, $85 million deal and carries a 2024 cap hit of greater than $28.3 million, third-highest on the 49ers. By designating Armstead as a post-June 1 cut, the Niners would clear over $18 million in cap space, leaving behind $10.3 million in dead money. The 30-year-old missed five more games in 2023 after missing eight the previous season. He has just 14.5 sacks since recording 10.0 in 2019.

  • Jets' Isaiah Oliver: Headed to Big Apple

    Oliver signed a one-year contract with the Jets on Sunday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Oliver was a mainstay in Atlanta's secondary over the first five seasons of his career. He then signed with the 49ers as a free agent in March 2023, going on to tally 67 tackles and one interception while appearing in all 17 regular-season games, including six starts. Oliver was then released by San Francisco on Feb. 23, allowing him to sign with a new team before the start of the new league year Wednesday.

  • 49ers' Isaiah Oliver: Let go by San Francisco

    The 49ers released Oliver on Friday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Oliver just had a fairly successful season as a rotational cornerback in his first year with San Francisco, but it seems as if the team has now decided to part ways with the 27-year-old. He was able to post 67 total tackles, two pass deflections and one interception while appearing in all 20 of the 49ers' contests (including playoffs). This move creates $2.4 million in cap space but also leads to an approximate $1.5 million dead cap charge, per Nicholas McGee of AtoZ Sports Nashville.

  • 49ers' Charvarius Ward: Undergoes surgey

    Ward underwent successful surgery for an unknown injury after the Super Bowl, according to David Lombardi of The Athletic. Ward announced the news via his Instagram, according to Lombardi, but he did not disclose what kind of procedure he underwent or why. It's also unclear if the 27-year-old will be available at the beginning of any of San Francisco's offseason programs. However, it is likely safe to assume he played at least part of the season while dealing with the injury, making it likely the injury wasn't significant enough for Ward to need significant time to recover.
