    This podcast is my GO TO for 49er news and the standard at which I compare all my sports podcasts too.

    Jennifer Lee Chan is such a refreshing voice in sports media. Fantastic reporter and speaker. Plus, as an Asian American it is wonderful to hear a woman Asian voice in sports... more

    The more I hear from this buffoon, the more I roll my eyes. Matt M. needs to quit; I have no idea how Jennifer can stand him. She’s the only one saving the podcast with her genuine charisma and knowledgeable commentary.

    Update: Matt is still a clown…. Jennifer still gives him the benefit of the doubt but she needs to move on to better things or get rid of Matt. Matt still spinning narratives with zero football IQ. Hope 2026 gives Matty boy some intelligence and patience to think before you sp... more

Q: Fred, how many pro camps is this for you?
This is our fourth Bay Area pro camp, and the turnout continues to surprise year after year, with a mix of veterans and younger players showing up, including some girls getting involved in football participation.
Trent Williams, 49ers agree to $50M extension before 2026 NFL Draft
Q: How does Brock Purdy view Williams' return?
Purdy sees Williams as a cornerstone protector on his blind side, enabling him to work with new receivers like Mike Evans and the rest of the offense with greater confidence and stability.
Trent Williams, 49ers agree to $50M extension before 2026 NFL Draft
Q: What does the Williams extension mean for their draft approach?
It relieves the immediate cap pressure at left tackle, allowing the 49ers to focus on the best player available in the early rounds rather than rigidly chasing a left tackle, which could shift their approach to targeting an edge rusher at 27 and a guard later on.
