Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers and QBs
On Jan. 29, 1995, the San Francisco 49ers became the first team in NFL history to win five Super Bowl titles, beating the San Diego Chargers, 49-26, in Super Bowl XXIX. Wow, has it been 30 years since the 49ers last hoisted the Vince Lombardi Trophy?
In Round 1, the 49ers select LSU offensive tackle Will Campbell, who might be the best OT in the class. A glut of talent at other positions allows Campbell to slide all the way to them at the No. 11 overall pick.
According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, Texas A&M defensive lineman Shemar Turner exited the Senior Bowl because of complications from a stress fracture he suffered before the 2024. Rapoport reported Turner had a rod inserted in his leg that never fully healed.
Nick Bosa still is a good player. He's just not as good as the 49ers thought he'd be when they gave him a five-year, $170 million contract extension.
Day one of Senior Bowl practices is in the books and, unsurprisingly, the members of the San Francisco 49ers' contingent were very interested spectators during Tuesday's sessions. General manager John Lynch was in attendance along with directors of player personnel Tariq Ahmad and RJ Gillen as the 49ers continue their preparations for a draft in which they are expected to have 10 selections,
Joe Flacco will be a free agent when the new league year starts on March 12 and the 49ers are expected to be interested in signing him according to NFL insider Tony Pauline.
Three players drafted in 2022 by the 49ers — ahead of Purdy with the last pick — are headed to the Super Bowl, albeit on the Eagles’ practice squad: running back Ty Davis-Price (third round), wide receiver Danny Gray (third round) and cornerback Tariq Castro-Fields (sixth round).
While Boyer's addition can be a fresh start for Jake Moody, it would behoove the San Francisco 49ers to add competition to the room.
One way or another, the 49ers are bound to make at least one trade in the 2025 NFL offseason. Even if the intention is to clear future cap space, Lynch needs to net significant assets in return if he hopes to return his team to title contention.
Saleh, who was fired in October as the New York Jets head coach five games into his fourth season, generated interest on the head-coaching front and was seen as one of the frontrunners for the Jacksonville Jaguars job. He also interviewed with the Las Vegas Raiders and Dallas Cowboys.
Veteran quarterback Joe Flacco intends to play in 2025, marking his 18th NFL season. The 40-year-old signal-caller spent his first 11 seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, who selected him in the first round of the 2008 NFL Draft.
