Ex-Teammate Says Martin Will Get “Everybody’s Best Shot” in 2014
It's been a smooth transition for Jonathan Martin with the 49ers.The former Stanford and Miami Dolphins offensive tackle -- who was constantly in the headlines last season because of his allegations of harassment by teammate Richie Incognito – has mostly flown under the radar since the Niners acquired him from the Dolphins.Now on a team with rich storylines and hopes for returning to the Super Bowl, Martin has become just a minor story: a backup tackle hoping to earn a roster spot, and possibly play guard for the first time, too.In fact, Martin said last month after organized team activities and before minicamp that he couldn't hope for a better environment to return to football."It's been great. I've got no complaints," he told Bay Area reporters. "It's a competitive environment, but everyone takes care of each other."But this week, former Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder said Martin could have a target on his uniform this season because of what happened in Miami.Crowder, just recently retired, is now doing a radio show in South Florida, and he told David Jones of Florida Today that opponents will be tough on Martin in 2014 because of perceptions that he walked away...

The San Francisco 49ers are optimistic they can negotiate a contract extension with star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. Recognizing the impending significant investment, the team has been strategically planning for the day when Aiyuk's contract demands must be accommodated.
Despite the team's assurance that signing Aiyuk remains a priority, speculation continues to circulate within NFL circles, often involving Aiyuk's name in trade rumors. In March, general manager John Lynch addressed these rumors, stating that the 49ers are actively engaged in discussions with Aiyuk and his representatives while

The San Francisco 49ers don't always do things like other NFL teams do. But they are consistent, for the most part. Seemingly every offseason, especially in recent years, a star player has wanted a new contract. From TE George Kittle and LB Fred Warner to WR Deebo Samuel and Edge Nick Bosa, the 49ers have given new contracts, but they have waited until late July-early August (and in Bosa's case—September) to do so, much to the chagrin of those players, who wanted their new deal sooner rather than later.

No one is perfect. Each of us makes mistakes. I do for sure. Peruse your way through the many articles I've written for 49ers Webzone and you'll see plenty of mistakes. Whether it's a typo or some prediction I offered that didn't go as I had thought.
The San Francisco 49ers are no different. John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have made their share of mistakes. Fortunately for all of us, they hit on more than they miss. But I wonder if we were able to catch them in a moment of complete transparency if they might admit to wanting to hit the Ctrl+Z and "undo" some moves.
I doubt they will admit to such mistakes anytime soon, but fear not—I'm here to do it for them. Yes, I could write on the best decisions
