John Lynch, Kyle Shanahan discuss 49ers’ 53-man roster
“San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch spoke to reporters on Wednesday, the day after the team reduced its roster to 53 players. Here’s everything they shared.”
49ers claim DT Jordan Jefferson off waivers from Jaguars
“The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Jefferson (6-3, 316) in the fourth round (116th overall) of the 2024 NFL Draft. As a rookie in the 2024 season, he appeared in eight games for the Jaguars, logging 12 total tackles, one sack, and one pass defensed.”
49ers add Marquez Valdes-Scantling, per source. Is Kendrick Bourne next? (paywall)
“Valdes-Scantling also has a background in the 49ers’ offense and should be able to get up to speed quickly. He spent his first four seasons with the Green Bay Packers, who run an offense similar to San Francisco’s. He also spent the last 10 months — first with the Saints, then the Seattle Seahawks — under offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, a disciple of Kyle Shanahan.”
49ers will sign former UFL MVP Adrian Martinez to practice squad as third QB
“Martinez completed 30 of 51 pass attempts for 352 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions during the preseason this summer. He gained 26 yards on three rushing attempts.”
John Lynch states 49ers will not honor Jauan Jennings’ prior trade request
““He asked for it, and we’ve moved on,” Lynch said of Jennings’ trade request. “We’re not doing that, so we’re moving forward.”
Insider: 49ers have ‘high interest’ in signing Kendrick Bourne (paywall)
“Such as: What if promising second-year cornerback Renardo Green can’t adequately replace All-Pro cornerback Charvarius Ward? What if unproven third-year linebacker Dee Winters can’t come close to filling Dre Greenlaw’s cleats? What if rookie safety Marques Sigle doesn’t evoke any memories of All-Pro Talanoa Hufanga? And what if the three rookie defensive linemen who were drafted in the first four rounds just aren’t ready to assume major first-year roles?
The 49ers have been scrambling to plug their many leaks. Last week, they traded for Moore and running back Brian Robinson, after dealing for pass rusher Bryce Huff in June. On Wednesday, they signed wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling. And they have interest in signing Kendrick Bourne to continue addressing their depth-starved wide receiver corps.“
