Those folks in Las Vegas don't waste any time. Not long after the release of the 2017 NFL schedule, odds for the opening week of games were released by the Westgate Las Vegas SportsBook. The San Francisco 49ers open up the season at home against the Carolina Panthers and they are already listed as 4-point underdogs, per Nick Wagoner of
ESPN.
The 49ers have not lost an opener since 2010 and have not lost a home opener since 2008. They have won four straight home openers, including the past two, both of which took place on Monday nights. Of course, the 49ers went on to get blown out during their Week 2 road contests in 2015 and 2016. Those games took place on short weeks when the 49ers were forced by the schedule-makers to fly across the country and face teams coming off of playoff appearances – one of which was the Panthers in 2016.
Traveling across the country after Week 1 won't be an issue in 2017. The 49ers will stay on the West Coast but still have to face a tough opponent. They will travel north to Seattle to play the defending NFC West Champion Seahawks.
The 2017 season will the first for Kyle Shanahan as a head coach. In February, he became the 49ers' third new head coach in as many years.
Below is the complete 2017 San Francisco 49ers schedule, which can also be found on

Mike Silver on how Deebo Samuel's contract might be the starting point for a Brandon Aiyuk extension
With the 2024 NFL Draft less than a week away, it's common for the rumor mill to start churning, especially with players who are actively seeking a new contract. It was just two short years ago that WR Deebo Samuel requested a trade from the San Francisco 49ers prior to draft day, only for cooler heads to prevail and eventually agree to a new deal.
Now, it's WR Brandon Aiyuk's turn to try and get paid and rumors surfaced over the weekend that he too would request to be dealt. While that report was quickly shot down by his agent, there's still a lot of discussion about Aiyuk's future and if other teams will come calling on draft night.

49ers sign WR Trent Taylor, reuniting with former draft pick
The San Francisco 49ers announced the signing of wide receiver Trent Taylor to a one-year deal, reuniting with the team's former fifth-round draft pick out of Louisiana Tech.
Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area was the first to report that the 49ers were discussing a potential reunion with Taylor. The receiver was part of head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch's first draft class in 2017 and spent his first four NFL seasons with the team.

Draft Watch: Western Kentucky WR Malachi Corley visiting 49ers on Wednesday
The San Francisco 49ers are hosting several draft prospects this week as the deadline for pre-draft visits draws near. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2, the team will host former Western Kentucky wide receiver Malachi Corley on Wednesday.
Corley is expected to be a Day 2 pick. San Francisco owns two selections on Day 2—the No. 63 overall pick in the second round and the No. 94 overall pick in the third round. Currently, the receiver is visiting with the Seattle Seahawks.

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his
