Trent Williams is now under contract until his age-40 season. Sat down at his locker in 2023 for probably my favourite ever interview and discussed his aim of playing into his 40s and his initial doubts about returning to his best after his health scare.

TJ Parker at 27 should at least be a conversation for the 49ers.

Yep, there’s a balance to be struck. They got demolished against the run down the stretch when Collins and West were off the field but need pass rush juice. Need to add guys who can do both.

Based purely on his measurements and his 10-yard and how he’s moving out there, Chris McClellan is a DT the 49ers should be very interested in.

This version of the San Francisco 49ers, battered and bruised but with so much heart, deserved a playoff win. What a stunning coaching job by Kyle Shanahan and Robert Saleh.

That third-and-17 is your ballgame. That cannot happen.

Remarkably, this is still just a one-possession game.

Falcons. Essentially shut down Bijan on the ground.

Not necessarily against the run. Has had some good weeks. This is not one of them.

Unfortunately I fear you’re right!

If this is the 49er run defense tonight then it’s a wrap.

The NFL doing this 250th anniversary stuff after America invaded another sovereign nation on a whim.

The level of self-parody is off the charts.

I’m sorry, but how is a game for the *one seed in the NFC* not Sunday Night Football?

Kyle Shanahan Coach of the Year. Argue with a wall.

Brock Purdy threw a pick on the first play of the game and since then has balled out on every drive. Love his cornerback brain lol.

The 49ers don’t have George Kittle or Trent Williams and are just absolutely gashing the Bears on the ground.

#49ers 94 rushing yards in the first quarter is more than they have had for an entire game in 8 of their 15 contests.

49ers’ win over the Colts was a near-perfect illustration of their playoff formula The 49ers produced a performance they will likely need to repeat in the playoffs if they are to contend to win it all.

The #49ers blowout of the Colts wasn’t perfect, but it was a near-perfect illustration of what they’ll need to do to win in the playoffs.

The 49ers were ninth in EPA per play *before* this masterclass against the Colts.

Imagine being a starting WR actively trying to leave Kyle Shanahan.

Skyy Moore emerging as crucial weapon for 49ers amid special teams resurgence The 49ers’ trade for Skyy Moore didn’t receive a lot of praise, but it now looks a very savvy move.

The Skyy Moore trade is turning out to be one of the best #49ers moves of the offseason.

He’s in rarefied air among 49er return men and receiving huge plaudits from his coach and his teammates.

The 49ers’ 2025 season is officially a success The 49ers will end the 2025 season with a winning record, an achievement that is bigger than it usually would be.

The 49ers will officially end the season with a winning record whatever happens from here after their 26-8 victory over the Browns.

After everything they've been through, that's reason enough to consider their 2025 season a success.

49ers’ blowout of Cardinals was the kind of win they’ve wanted all season The 49ers finally excelled in several areas that had been problems for them for most of 2025 as they crushed Arizona.

You don’t get extra points for style, but, for these banged-up, grind-it-out #49ers, Sunday’s win over the Cardinals was the kind of victory that had eluded them all season long.

Christian McCaffrey pays Brock Purdy ‘huge compliment’ as he surpasses Patrick Mahomes Brock Purdy made history on his 49ers return as he received praise from two key weapons.

It all looked very, very easy for Brock Purdy yesterday as the 49ers blew out the Cardinals.

Arizona's ineptitude helped, but Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle still had huge praise for their returning QB.

ESPN really helping their brand having this guy be the star

One 49ers trade is looking increasingly astute ahead of stretch run The 49ers’ decision to send a sixth-round pick to the Commanders for Brian Robinson Jr. is paying off.

The 49ers raised some eyebrows by not making a trade on deadline day, but one deal they made in the offseason is looking increasingly astute and important.

49ers’ offense receives reminder of lack of room for error in Week 10 loss The 49ers’ offense was impressive against the Rams, but paid the price for a handful of key errors in a 42-26 defeat.

There was a lot to like from the #49ers offense on Sunday, but the loss was a reminder of their limited room for error down the stretch.

49ers see their ‘best free agent signing’ come up huge in Week 7 George Kittle highlighted the role of the 49ers’ most important offseason addition in their 5-2 start.

The 49ers’ win over Falcons came thanks to a masterclass from their best free agent signing

The 2025 season continues to be a remarkable coaching job from Kyle Shanahan and his 49ers staff.

5-2 amid relentless setbacks. Shanahan has to be the Coach of the Year front runner.
