Klay Kubiak: Jauan Jennings sees himself as a dominant player
The 49ers signed Brandon Aiyuk to a big contract before the 2024 season and they had Deebo Samuel in the middle of his own sizable extension, but neither one wound up being the team's leading receiver at the end of the year. Jauan Jennings moved into that position with Aiyuk sidelined by a torn ACL and Samuel slipping from his previous level of production. Samuel is now in Washington and Aiyuk continues to work his way back to health, which means Jennings is still in his new spot in the pecking order and offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak said the wideout's mindset is to stay there regardless of who else is around. Advertisement "Yeah, I think, if you ask Jauan, he says 'I'm number one,'" Kubiak said, via "And that's his mindset, and that's why we love Jauan. That's how he sees himself. He sees himself as a dominant player. I think you guys all saw last year when he got more chances, he played really, really well. So really fired up about Jauan." Jennings had 78 catches for 963 yards and seven touchdowns in his first three seasons and then posted 77 catches for 975 yards and six scores last year, so it was a big lead forward for a wideout the 49ers will need to continue producing at a high level for their offense to catch fire in 2025.

Brock Purdy: 49ers were tired last season
As the 49ers' 2024 season wound down, defensive end Nick Bosa tried to find a bright side to missing the playoffs. Bosa said he was looking forward to having a full offseason after seeing the previous three truncated by the team's deep postseason runs. They made it to at least the NFC title game each year and Bosa said it was "definitely a grind" to miss out on having more time off. Advertisement Quarterback Brock Purdy likely agrees with Bosa's feelings about a longer offseason. During an appearance on the Built 4 More podcast, Purdy said he thought fatigue played a big role in the 49ers' drop to 6-11 last season. "And then last year, man, guys were tired," Purdy said, via "That season is no joke, and when you go from July of training and everything, all the way to the end of February, and then you really get five weeks off or so [until] you've got to report back, and then you're going again, guys are tired. They're still beat up, their bodies." The 49ers will have more time to recuperate this year, but they'll also have to adapt to significant changes to the roster on both sides of the ball if they are going to return to the top rungs of the NFC.

49ers "focused on" other things now, but want to extend George Kittle
49ers tight end George Kittle hasn't been the center of attention during the early part of the team's offseason, but he's expected to take on a more central role as time moves on. Kittle is moving into the final year of his current contract and he said during Super Bowl week that there have been some talks with the team about a new deal. During a press conference at the Scouting Combine on Wednesday, 49ers General Manager John Lynch confirmed that it is something the team is interested in but said other matters are taking priority right now. 'We've already talked about it,' Lynch said, via 'We want George to retire a Niner. He's one of those guys. He's a Niner through and through. And so, we want that to become a reality. I think the only thing on that is timing, and that's no different from what I've told George and his agent. So, some other things that we're focused on, and George is certainly there. But I think that's something we want to all see become a reality, including George.' Quarterback Brock Purdy's extension and wide receiver Deebo Samuel's trade demand are the more immediately pressing concerns. Kittle has a cap number of just over $22 million for the 2025 season and are set for more than $13 million in dead money in 2026 due to void years on Kittle's pact. An extension would likely lower the 2025 number and would change the outlook in 2026 as well.
