Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen topped the list at No. 1 in his fifth appearance on the top 10 and also finished as the best international jersey seller. New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels round up the top five on the list. With the number of star players on San Francisco’s roster, as well as considering the size of the 49ers fanbase across the globe, it is not a surprise that the team led with the most names on the list. New 49ers also ranked at No. 40, so we likely will see a lot of No. 5 jerseys at Levi’s Stadium throughout the upcoming 2026 NFL season. With two international games in and in Mexico City in Week 11 for San Francisco, we can expect sales numbers to increase even more for 49ers players.

While he accused San Francisco of “” and being afraid to release him in an Instagram post on Sunday, general manager John Lynch has made it abundantly clear throughout the offseason that he . So, when will this saga end, and when will Aiyuk return to the field? NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reported on Monday that he doesn’t foresee a resolution anytime soon. “I think we’d like to avoid some similar IG (Instagram) messaging from Brandon Aiyuk, we’d rather the situation be settled rather than having this drag on through the summer, but that’s the way I see this going,” Rapoport said. “First of all, he’s what the San Francisco 49ers would like; they have his rights, he’s not due any guaranteed money, he forfeited that by not showing up to his rehab. They would like to trade him, probably to the Commanders with his old friend Jayden Daniels. … “They’re all staring at each other. There’s really no deadline to make a move at all, so until and unless everyone gets tired of Brandon Aiyuk sending Instagram messages, this is going to be a storyline that takes us through the summer.” From The Insiders on : The Brandon Aiyuk saga, which got weird over the weekend, shows no sign of ending. — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) The Commanders have been linked to Aiyuk from what felt like the moment things started to go awry in San Francisco, with Rapoport reporting that the two teams were back in April. Similar to the issues the two parties were having around the time of the 2026 NFL Draft, Rapoport reported again on Monday that the Commanders would prefer the 49ers to release Aiyuk so they can sign him as a free agent. As Rapoport noted, it is a game of chicken with no timeline hanging over either party, so this could go on for a while. As for Aiyuk, he has made it clear that he’d like to play for Washington, as the 28-year-old of him wearing a Commanders hat. Aiyuk last played in 2024, which is when he tore both his ACL and MCL in a game against the Kansas City Chiefs. However, even before he opted to skip his rehab with the team and , things got ugly in the offseason before his injury. He and the 49ers engaged in a summer-long contract dispute that saw him request a trade before the two ultimately agreed to a four-year, $120 million extension. While Aiyuk seems to think his social media antics can expedite the process, neither party has budged thus far.

In a posted Sunday on Instagram, the disgruntled 49ers wide receiver did not mince words when describing the team that signed him to a four-year, $120 million contract extension in 2024. “We’re dealing with, you know, like [those] kids when they don’t get picked for the basketball game at the court, but they’re the ones that brought the ball,” Aiyuk said in the video. “So they’re like, ‘All right, you all don’t want to pick me, I’m taking my ball, I’m going home.’ Ass boys. Little-ass boys.” “It’s inevitable. It’s coming. Stop running. Stop being a female dog. Stop being a little cat. Stop running from the belt.” While social media has had a mixed reaction toward Aiyuk’s video, former NFL veteran Chad Ochocinco understood where the 49ers wideout was coming from and explained what the message means based on his perspective. “A lot of people [are] probably not going to get it,” Ochocinco said on the show. “For us, you know, sometimes we say things in riddle format where others really don’t understand it. “Now, the concept and what it sounded like he’s trying to say is obviously I’m a 49er, and the other people that might want me. Instead of letting me go elsewhere, so someone else could have that same toy that the child is playing with, [the 49ers are] like, ‘Nah, I want to keep him here.’” Aiyuk has not played an NFL snap since suffering a torn ACL in Week 7 of the 2024 season. He had his guarantees voided for infractions last summer and currently is on San Francisco’s reserve/left squad list. While the 49ers have been , John Lynch and Co. have not made any moves yet to finally end the wide receiver’s rocky tenure in San Francisco. “He wants out so bad that he was willing to give up that kind of money and say, ‘You know what, I want to get out of here so bad I’m going to give you all that back just to get my freedom to go elsewhere,’ ” Ochocinco added. “I’ve never seen anything like it before. A lot of people obviously won’t understand the context unless you’ve been a part of the business and understand how the business works and understand that. “And he’s just doing everything he can to be able to get out of there, which is why he was willing to give that money up so he can go somewhere else… He might not get a long-term deal, but I think he’s going to get a deal. You’re going to come in here and prove it. You’ve got to come in here and prove yourself.” Aiyuk’s message was posted days after the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office issued him an for a misdemeanor exhibition of speed, which stems from a video he posted of himself driving more than 100 miles per hour along Levi’s Stadium in December. Based on the video, there seems to be some animosity coming from Aiyuk with the 49ers still keeping him on the roster, considering how shaky the relationship between the two sides has been in the last two years. While the 28-year-old’s future in the NFL is uncertain, one thing remains clear: San Francisco eventually will move on from Aiyuk one way or another. It will just be a matter of time.

He reminds me a lot of when I went to Kansas City with Andy. Andy at that point was widely regarded as an amazing head coach and offensive mind, but hadn’t won the big one yet.” Reid spent 14 seasons in Philadelphia without winning a Super Bowl. He won his first title in 2020 with the help of Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Shanahan is entering his 10th season in San Francisco, and he’s still chasing that Vince Lombardi Trophy. “He’s a guy I wish I could’ve played for,” Smith continued. “Kyle’s been on the doorstep how many times now? It’s going to happen, there’s going to be an avalanche, and we are going to be talking about him on Mount Rushmore.” When you think of offensive minds in today’s NFL, Reid and Shanahan are right up there with and . Unfortunately for Shanahan, the 49ers had to play those two elite playcallers a total of five times last season. “Look at the division,” Smith said. “Arguably, the two best teams in football last year were in the division. Look at the 49ers’ track record against them. Look at how well they played them. Given all the adversity in what everyone expected to be a down year.” Injuries took a massive toll on the 49ers last season.

They’re just ready for it, and that’s been really cool.” with the No. 90 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft after a career season at Indiana that saw him run for 1,040 yards and 10 scores during the Hoosiers’ 16-0 title run. While he won’t have to become a bell cow right away for the team with Christian McCaffrey still in the backfield, Black will have chances to carve out a prominent role of his own as a rookie.

Additionally, Aiyuk played alongside in college while both were at Arizona State in 2019. However, both the 49ers and other teams interested in Aiyuk reportedly have with him in recent months.

Earlier this week, ESPN’s Seth Walder detailed some of his biggest takeaways from Wednesday’s Arguably, the most eye-catching numbers centered on which team had the best chance at winning Super Bowl LXI at the end of the 2026 NFL season. As Walder explained, the 49ers’ NFC West rivals, the Los Angeles Rams, already were the favorites to be the last team standing before . As expected, the move only improved their chances, bringing their odds to 14.9 percent. However, the 49ers aren’t too far behind, as they have the fifth-best chance of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. Sitting right behind the defending-champion Seattle Seahawks (7.0 percent), the FPI gives the 49ers a 6.8 percent chance of winning the Super Bowl next season. Best chance to win the Super Bowl – ESPN FPI Rank Team Chance Rank Team Chance 1 Rams 14.9% 9 Chargers 4.4% 2 Bills 10.7% 10 Eagles 4.1% 3 Ravens 9.4% 11 Bengals 4.0% 4 Seahawks 7.0% 12 Texans 3.2% 5 49ers 6.8% 13 Jaguars 2.9% 6 Lions 5.2% 14 Patriots 2.7% 7 Chiefs 4.9% 15 Broncos 2.6% 8 Packers 4.7% 16 Cowboys 2.6% For those wondering how these numbers are conjured up despite the fact we haven’t see new additions like , Walder broke down exactly how the FPI is crafted. “FPI’s preseason predictive ratings are primarily based on win totals from the betting market in conjunction with each team’s schedule — along with factors such as the difference between a team’s starting and backup quarterback and a special teams rating that incorporates specific kickers,” Walder wrote. “We use these ratings to simulate the season thousands of times, with the results forming our projections.” With three of the four NFC West teams included in the top five, it’s clear that next season could be a bloodbath between the trio of rivals. As for the 49ers fans who walked away from this past season’s 12-5 record and divisional-round playoff exit as the beginning of the end, the numbers as of right now indicate that San Francisco could have another run in it.

As opposed to doing what every defensive coach hates and speaking highly of a signal-caller, Morris took a fun jab at Purdy, alerting the media that the defense picked him off. “We got a Brock pick today,” Morris said. “I let him know that right after practice. That was awesome. He’s going to be so mad at me for telling the media that, but you guys were there. That’s a big one.” Arguably, the best part was the fact that a media member reminded Morris that there was a second pick, who then joked that he didn’t get a chance to brag because he forgot. When a follow-up asked whether or not Purdy has been turning it over frequently, Morris quickly eased the minds of 49ers fans. “No, no, no. I wouldn’t say a lot,” Morris said. “He is the layer king. He’s so accurate. He puts the ball in the right spot. He keeps the ball in his hands. He’s tortured me for years.

This is nothing new for the 49ers’ All-Pro tight end, who starts every press conference with a jovial, “Howdy.” However, the news that Kittle could be of the 2026 season might have explained his heightened positive state Wednesday. “Realistic, yes,” Kittle said on his being ready for the start of the season. “Even when I had the surgery, [Dr. Neil] ElAttrache told me, ‘I think if you do everything the right way, you have a chance.’ Definitely ignites something and makes you push for it. We are on track. We are ahead of schedule.” As Kittle navigated through that occurred at the end of the season, his spirits were always positive. At several public appearances throughout the offseason, including supporting his wife Claire, who was recently a model for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, Kittle’s attitude and positive spirit have never wavered. “Me personally, I’m doing awesome,” Kittle said. “My wife is a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, good for me, and my Achilles is doing great. No setbacks in my recovery, checking all the boxes, doing everything I’m supposed to do. “My surgeon is super happy, my physical therapist in L.A. who works with him is super happy, Niners are happy, I’m happy.” With the cancellation of the 49ers’ mandatory minicamp, Kittle is set to head back to his home in Nashville, where he spends the offseason training at his own facility. The nine-year NFL veteran likely will continue his checkups with his doctor and physical therapist in Los Angeles while preparing for the season. If Kittle is not quite ready for the start of the season, the 49ers will lean on Luke Farrell and Jake Tonges, who saw additional playing time when Kittle missed games with a calf injury during Weeks 2 through 6 of the 2025 season. Brayden Willis, entering his fourth season with San Francisco, could be an option. Undrafted free agent Khalil Dinkins has quickly shown his abilities on the field, along with Hayden Rucci, who has appeared in four NFL games as a member of the Detroit Lions. Both young players will be competing for a role on the offense. But for now, the hope is that to kick off the season on Thursday, Sept. 10, when the Los Angeles Rams will “host” the 49ers at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, Australia. “Playing four days early and a 16-hour flight?” Kittle said with a smile when asked if the extended travel would be an issue. “No, not at all. Just another challenge, that’s all it is. We fly so much, our average flight is five to six hours. So to me, it is what it is. We are going to work, it’s an awesome opportunity to play in Australia. It will be a really fun plane ride home if we win. “That’s our goal — play in front of an awesome crowd, huge stadium, 110,000 people. Sounds sick to me, might as well take advantage of it.” As usual, Kittle’s view always is positive.

Comes to work every single day. “He’s a quiet guy, but me and him talk about not just football, but life, and really cool guy. I look forward to having a great connection with him this year.” The 49ers, with running back Christian McCaffrey, tight end George Kittle and young wide receivers Ricky Pearsall and rookie De’Zhaun Stribling, have no shortage of offensive weapons, so if Evans can produce similar to how he has throughout his impressive 12-year NFL career, the offense should be in very good shape. “I just want to continue to do what I’ve been doing my whole career, and that’s making plays, being the ultimate team player, and the ultimate playmaker,” Evans added. “That’s what I really want. And just let these guys know not to take this s–t for granted because you never know what could happen. “And our roster is a great roster.
