• 49ers star debrief: Injury derails an excellent season for veteran safety Antoine Bethea

  29-01-2016 23:30
  
  The 49ers were bad in 2015. They would have been so much worse if not for Antoine Bethea. It's probably safe to say that few expected Donte Whitner to have as much success as he did when he joined the San Francisco 49ers in 2011. He was aging and had seemingly hit his ceiling, but he wound up making his first and second Pro Bowls with the franchise, and parlayed that into a lucrative free agent deal with the Cleveland Browns in 2014.
  Expectations, from there, were fairly low, as they were before

• Will we see extensions for the 49ers 2013 draft class this offseason?

  29-01-2016 22:20
  
  The San Francisco 49ers have had a mixed bag of success from a handful of players from their 2013 draft class. They are eligible for contract extensions this offseason. Will anybody get a deal done? The San Francisco 49ers have a decision to make this offseason with regard to Eric Reid's fifth year option, but the 2013 draft class has a few other decisions to be made. A year removed from the disastrous 2012 class, the 49ers actually have six of their 2013 picks still on the roster. There ha

• NFL Draft prospect Jaylon Smith could be ready for Week 1

  29-01-2016 21:10
  
  The San Francisco 49ers have needs all along the linebacker position, and there has been some discussion that Notre Dame linebacker Jaylon Smith could be on the team's radar. That potentially seemed to change, at least as a first round option, when Smith suffered a brutal knee injury in the Fiesta Bowl. He entered the draft anyway, and that could prove to be a wise decision.
  Bleacher Report's Matt Miller is reporting that Smith's injury was an ACL and LCL injury, with no nerve dam

  Super Bowl 50 is taking place at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, but San Francisco is doing plenty of its own promotion for the game. The NFL has been working with the city to come up with all sorts of promotions. Super Bowl City is launching in the Embarcadero (hope you're not getting mail delivered there!), and the league put together ten Super Bowl 50 statues to place around the city.

• 49ers free agents 2016: Projecting a contract for Ian Williams

  Ian Williams is due for a pay-day following a strong 2015 season. We take a look at a potential contract for Williams as he gets ready for free agency. The San Francisco 49ers have a handful of notable free agents set to hit the market in March. In recent years, when they have extended their own players, it has frequently come prior to free agency. That does not bode well for these players, but the market will dictate what will happen. Over the next week, I will be taking a look at four of these

• Throwback Thursday: A.J. Jenkins revisited

  There's been some speculation on the San Francisco 49ers drafting a wide receiver in the first round. Going off nickbradley's fanpost, such a prospect could be Laquon Treadwell. Obviously, this has brought back memories of the notorious 2012 A.J. Jenkins pick, a pick that wound up being a letdown. Jenkins' first year in San Francisco, yielded him only 3 games with 37 offensive snaps.
  Contrary to popular belief, the Jenkins pick on draft day wasn't near as bad as one might be led to believe.
