For the second straight year, the 49ers are set to enter the regular season with the most salary-cap space in the NFL. It was about $40 million in 2023 and will be about $60 million here in 2024. On SF's restructure-and-rollover strategy: nytimes.com/athletic/57428…

EXCLUSIVE: I obtained this surveillance showing people running away from where Ricky Pearsall was shot in Union Square on Saturday, August 31st. You’ll see the 17-year old suspect run by 15 seconds later. He drops his gun and is gripping his left arm where he was shot during

Teen charged in Ricky Pearsall shooting case appears in court, will remain in detention pending resolution. My report from Juvenile Justice Center in San Francisco today: nytimes.com/athletic/57457…

Yeah, the blasé attitude that the 49ers are just going to view Deebo as a cap-saving number on a spreadsheet after this season shows no understanding of how the 49ers work, or how uniquely good Deebo is

This is a fantastic clip from Robert Saleh looking at the 49ers defense, now from afar, and analyzing the surviving influence of his initial fingerprints on it

Kyle Shanahan said Ricky Pearsall will take it easy for about a week to avoid working up a sweat but that he’ll begin his rehab after that. Just remarkable, given that Pearsall took a bullet to the chest just a few days ago

Shanahan on Ricky Pearsall: “We were assuming the worst for a while.”

Kyle Shanahan: The bullet entered Ricky Pearsall’s chest just 2 inches below the receiver’s tattoo of praying hands pressed together

Shanahan said Ricky Pearsall said this in the early aftermath of getting shot: “I still think I can play against the Jets.”

49ers team captains for 2024: Bosa Warner Purdy McCaffrey Deebo Juszczyk Kittle Williams

Williams held out, but he did arrive in time for the captain vote. Bosa's holdout lasted longer last season, and I suspect that the only reason he wasn't a captain anyway was because he missed the vote

According to Shanahan, the bullet hit Pearsall 2 inches below the praying hands. Pearsall not only walked to the ambulance, but also told John Lynch that he wanted the 49ers players’ partly to go on very soon after the shot. Pearsall also said he could play vs the Jets

Ricky Pearsall was shot Saturday and he’s back on the practice field watching his 49ers teammates Thursday
