The San Francisco 49ers have announced the signing of former Seattle Seahawks LB Brock Coyle along with the official signings of former Chicago Bears QB Matt Barkley and former Atlanta Falcons WR Aldrick Robinson. Coyle was signed to a one-year deal while Barkley and Robinson received two-year deals.
Coyle, 26, signed with Seattle as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Montana in May of 2014. Last season, Coyle appeared in 12 games, starting three, and had a career-high 15 tackles and a sack. During his three years in Seattle, he appeared in 35 games with five starts, making 33 tackles and a sack. He also had four special teams tackles during the postseason with Seattle.
Chicago signed Barkley on September 4, 2016, and he was elevated to the active roster on September 22, 2016. Last season, Barkley led Chicago to a 26-6 victory over the 49ers. He completed 11 of his 18 passes for 192 yards in that game.
Robinson was a sixth-round selection out of SMU by the Washington Redskins in the 2011 NFL Draft. In addition to playing for Shanahan last year, Robinson spent his first two seasons in the NFL playing within Shanahan's offense in Washington. In 2016, Robinson played in 16 games, starting just one, and had 20 receptions for 323 yards and two touchdowns.

The San Francisco 49ers dominated the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, winning 35-16 to improve to 4-0 on the season, remaining one of two undefeated teams in the NFL alongside the Philadelphia Eagles.
In the win, the 49ers dominated offensively, scoring touchdowns on five of their six drives, with the spotlight on Christian McCaffrey with a four-touchdown performance, highlighting his impact on the San Francisco offense.
However, there was one performance that broke records and it came from the quarterback position, as Brock Purdy broke the 49ers single-game completion percentage record against the Cardinals with his 20/21, 283-yard performance.

Kyle Shanahan's trust in Brock Purdy paying off for 49ers
I The San Francisco 49ers hit a snag in the second quarter on the team's second offensive possession of Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Running back Christian McCaffrey, who ended up having a phenomenal game, was stopped for no gain on 3rd-and-4.
Now faced with a 4th-and-4 in Cardinals territory, Kyle Shanahan decided to go for it. Is that a decision the head coach would have made with any of his previous quarterbacks? Fans can only speculate on that (and they did). It was a statement decision by Shanahan. It showed the level of trust the head coach has in his quarterback, Brock Purdy.

"From the game, I'm sure we'll have some stuff tomorrow, but the only one that checked out from the game [OL Jon] Feliciano had a concussion, never returned."

Florio: 49ers' Brock Purdy not a franchise QB because of his "weird" name

The San Francisco 49ers are cruising through the beginning of the regular season, winning each of their first three games, with a home bout against the 0-2 Arizona Cardinals next on the docket.
In his return from a torn UCL sustained in last year's NFC Championship Game, quarterback Brock Purdy has picked up right where he left off, continuing his streak of remaining unbeaten in games he's started and finished, which has increased to eight in a row.
The success from 2022 has cemented Purdy as the franchise quarterback, as the 49ers traded away former franchise option Trey Lance to the Dallas Cowboys, but some aren't as confident in the 2022 seventh-round pick.
