Trades of Deebo Samuel, releases of Kyle Juszczyk, Talanoa Hufanga, Aaron Banks and others walking. Despite all the chaos of free agency, the 49ers sit with sixth-best odds to win Super Bowl LX on FanDuel after all the free agency chaos.
The San Francisco 49ers let some players walk in free agency this week, and released a few others, leaving some to wonder what may happen with their 2025 season.
If you check the oddsmakers, they didn’t fall nearly as much as you may think.
FanDuel Sportsbook has the 49ers at +1500, the sixth-best odds to win the Super Bowl LX. This is above the Washington Commanders, Cincinnati Bengals, and Los Angeles Rams. Only the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles are ahead of them in the NFC.
There’s a lot more going into odds to win the Super Bowl than what the roster is. Obviously where money comes from is a part of it, but given all the chaos we’ve seen in free agency, you might think they would take a plunge.
The 49ers still have a good core group of players; Brandon Aiyuk, Christian McCaffrey, Nick Bosa, and Fred Warner. This is nothing like the 2017 purge of Kyle Shanahan where there was very little left of the roster. In that purge, the 49ers didn’t have a quarterback until 2017 free agency began.
Given that you have seen how much money was given out to the free agents the 49ers released/let walk and how the 49ers are still in this position on the odds-making board, maybe things aren’t as dire as they may be?
That 2025 draft has to be perfect or it will be another long season.
