Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reported in March that former Michigan defensive lineman Rashan Gary would be one of the 30 allowed prospects to visit with the San Francisco 49ers before the upcoming draft.
It turns out that visit will not happen, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. The 49ers reportedly have all the information they need on Gary and will no longer host him.
I'm told that Michigan DE Rashan Gary is not paying an official visit to the #49ers. Apparently the team has all the info it needs on Gary, a likely Top 10 pick on April 25.
Gary had 96 combined tackles, nine sacks, and a forced fumble in his final two seasons with the Wolverines.
The 49ers hosted defensive tackle Quinnen Williams of Alabama on Tuesday and linebacker Josh Allen of Kentucky on Wednesday. Defensive end Montez Sweat of Mississippi will visit this week as well. Defensive end Nick Bosa of Ohio State is scheduled to travel to Santa Clara next week.

Pro Football Focus senior analyst John Kosko recently scrutinized every NFL team, pinpointing which roster possesses the best group at each position. Kosko also singled out the worst position groups in the league, and fortunately for the San Francisco 49ers, they were not represented in any of those categories.
The 49ers were spotlighted by two position groups on the list, with Kosko asserting that the Bay Area team boasts the best tight end and linebacker groups in the NFL.
One might wonder if the team's wide receiver group, consisting of Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel, Jauan Jennings, and now rookie Ricky Pearsall, made the list. However, that
Analyst declares 49ers the 'best team in football, and it's not even close'

The Kansas City Chiefs might have clinched back-to-back Super Bowl victories, including February's overtime triumph over the San Francisco 49ers, but one NFL analyst won't declare Andy Reid's squad the best in the league heading into a new season. That distinction goes to the Super Bowl runner-up.
The NFL unveiled its complete 2024 schedule on Wednesday. When asked which Super Bowl participant has the best chance of returning to the big game in the upcoming season, Fox Sports analyst Craig Carton didn't hesitate to respond, "San Francisco."
"They're the best team in football, and it's not even close," he continued. "They're the best team, not just in football, they're the best team in the NFC. There's three or four teams that are obviously going to give them a

The San Francisco 49ers need wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. And Aiyuk needs the 49ers. But the two sides are reportedly not close on a new deal that would keep the star receiver in San Francisco for years to come.
Sunday morning, on SportsCenter, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that the 49ers and Aiyuk are not close in contract negotiations, leading many to wonder if Aiyuk will hold out (not show up) or hold in (show up but not participate) for the remainder of the offseason and even training camp.
"This one's tricky because he was implicated in some trade talks around the draft," Fowler said. "He wants a new contract; has one year left. I'm told the 49ers certainly are open to doing a deal, but talks have not progressed enough where things are close. And
