4/06/25 | How Many Players on the 49ers Currently are Untradeable?. The 49ers started a mini-rebuild this offseason when they traded Deebo Samuel and let eight free agents walk.

4/06/25 | Why the 49ers Should Have Started Rebuilding Last Year. John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have had a terrific run the past eight seasons with the 49ers.

In retrospect, if the 49ers had unemotionally assessed their situation after losing a second Super Bowl, they would have seen that they had the perfect opportunity to rebuild last year.
