Will the San Francisco 49ers suffer from inflated offseason expectations? Don't tell that to Pro Football Talk. While the team enters the second year of a roster overhaul, the hype surrounding the Kyle Shanahan-led squad has not been this high in years. Much of that has to do with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and how the 49ers finished the 2017 season.

During Monday's PFT Live, Mike Florio and Chris Simms went head-to-head naming teams which they believe can win the next two Super Bowls. That means one franchise capable of winning the championship over the next two seasons. The NFC West didn't enter the conversation until they were three rounds deep in the debate, but that's where we will start.

Simms kicked off the third round of selections by naming the Los Angeles Rams as a team with a good enough chance to win Super Bowl LIII and LIV. Florio went with a different NFC West team.

"Look at what the Falcons did in the second year with Kyle Shanahan running the offense," Florio said. "Look at how they went through the roof, off the charts, and they had the Super Bowl won but for a defensive collapse that preceeded some horrible offensive play calling.

"But if we're looking at teams likely to ascend, teams likely to be winning moving forward, I've got to -- boy I hate to pass on the Eagles but it would mean they have won three in a row -- 49ers. Put me down for the 49ers. And yes, part of it is pandering to stats but I am influenced by the fact that I think between the 49ers and the Rams, I think the 49ers are in a better position to win.

"I just feel like, with the Rams, too many combustible personalities, too many competing agendas, and I don't think Sean McVay is going to be able -- despite the fact that he's already one of the best coaches in the NFL -- I don't think he's going to be able to hold it all together."

Simms offered his thoughts on Florio's 49ers pick.

"The 49ers, I do think make a big jump," he said. "I think everybody's expectations are a little high."

Who did Florio and Simms pick over the 49ers and Rams? You can view each of their selections below.

Chargers are open to trading Joey Bosa, but can the 49ers afford two Bosas?

By Marc Adams

Could the San Francisco 49ers end up with two Bosas on defense? According to Dianna Russini, Senior NFL Insider for The Athletic, "The Chargers are open to trade offers for many veteran players including Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack, per sources. There are teams interested but many around the league are willing to wait to see if the Chargers cut them soon." That sounds like, at minimum, an open door. Nick Bosa will be entering his sixth NFL season in 2024. In his NFL career, he's been named AP Defensive Rookie of the Year (2019), AP Defensive Player of the Year (2022), is a four-time Pro Bowler and has also been named All-Pro. But the 49ers have struggled to find someone on the opposite side of Bosa who can consistently get after the quarterback. Since the

49ers announce team has re-signed Chris Conley

By Marc Adams
Mar 16

The San Francisco 49ers announced today that the team has re-signed WR Chris Conley to a one-year deal. Conley spent 2023 with the 49ers but only appeared in eight games. He finished the regular season with three receptions for 69 yards. But Conley saved his best for the postseason. Although he only had two receptions for 35 yards, his catches came in big moments. In the Divisional Playoff Game against the Green Bay Packers, with the 49ers trailing 21-17, Conley brought in a 17-yard catch that moved the ball to Green Bay's 26-yard line. The 49ers scored the winning touchdown on the drive. Then in Super Bowl LVIII, Conley hauled in an 18-yard reception in the first quarter to help set up a Jake Moody field goal. But perhaps Conely's biggest plays in the Super Bowl
