On Monday Night Countdown, former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis gave his opinion on the penalty against 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks during his sack of Saints quarterback Drew Brees. The call cost likely cost the 49ers a crucial win. Lewis called the penalty "the most embarrassing call in the National Football League since the 'tuck rule'."
While holding up an American Express card, Lewis would go on to say that if Ahmad Brooks is fined by the league for that hit, he would pay half of the fine.
Kyle Shanahan confirms 49ers never made an offer for Matthew Stafford

After last season, the San Francisco 49ers looked at all of their quarterback options heading into free agency and the draft. At the time, the team owned the No. 12 overall pick, and the quarterback they were falling in love with, Trey Lance, probably wasn't going to fall that far. So the Niners did their due diligence on all possibilities, including a pre-draft call to the Green Bay Packers to see what was going on with Aaron Rodgers.
Before that, reports often linked San Francisco to other quarterbacks like Matthew Stafford and Deshaun Watson. Head coach Kyle Shanahan already admitted to being interested in the former, saying that he was trying to get the 49ers involved in the talks for the former Detroit Lions quarterback. However, much to Shanahan's disappointment, the

Kyle Shanahan would have liked to look into the possibility of adding Matthew Stafford this offseason. He was shocked by how quickly the deal between the Detroit Lions and the Las Angeles Rams went down. As a result, Shanahan never got a chance to get his team into the mix.
"I was trying to get involved in it," Shanahan shared earlier this month, sharing that he thought he had more time to do so.
But it was too late. The trade was on its way to being completed.
Now, Stafford is in the NFC West, and the San Francisco 49ers will have to face the veteran quarterback twice a season. News of the trade was shocking to many, especially those within
Jimmy Garoppolo's ankle was 'an inch away from just snapping' last season, says 49ers' Trent Williams

Jimmy Garoppolo struggled to stay on the field last season, missing 10 total games as the San Francisco 49ers struggled to six wins. Trent Williams was among several players to speak to reporters today as the team reported to training camp. The offensive lineman revealed that Garoppolo's situation could have ended up being much worse.
"A lot of people didn't know his ankle was damn near less than an inch away from just snapping," Williams told reporters. "Just watching him even fight through and try to play — a guy who has accomplished so much, got a lot of money, went to a Super Bowl — he didn't have to press forward like he tried to and tried to play hurt. The guys respect that."
Garoppolo suffered his first injury — initially reported as a
'I'm just getting started': 49ers RB Raheem Mostert addresses misconceptions

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert is clearly frustrated with the narrative surrounding his future. He is 29 years old and is coming off an injury-plagued 2020 campaign. Although, in his defense, it feels like the entire 49ers roster was impacted by injuries last season, so it's not really fair to single out Mostert. The running back appears healthy and has reportedly looked good in the team's two training camp practices.
Mostert wears a brace during those practices. However, it has nothing to do with the injuries that limited the running back to eight games last season. He just wants to clear that
