Source: 49ers to interview ex-NFL cornerback for DBs coaching job
“Hall spent the past two seasons as assistant defensive backs coach with the Carolina Panthers after initially entering the broadcast booth after his retirement.
The Panthers recently parted ways with Hall after the season. Hall was originally hired as part of Frank Reich’s staff in 2023.
First-year head coach Dave Canales retained Hall as an assistant coach for the 2024 season.”
ESPN predicts $196 million contract extension for 49ers QB Brock Purdy
“The 49ers do not hold a fifth-year option on Purdy because he was not a first-round pick,” Graziano wrote. “So if he played out the 2025 season, he’d be either an unrestricted free agent or (much more likely) a franchise tag recipient in 2026. Purdy has led the 49ers to two NFC Championship Games and one Super Bowl appearance as the top bargain of the past three seasons in the entire league. Surely both sides agree that the time has come for a significant raise.”
Graziano points out that the potential for a franchise tag in 2026 gives the 49ers leverage if Purdy’s camp pushes for a higher annual salary. However, both sides would likely prefer getting a deal done quickly, ensuring the young quarterback can fully participate in the team’s offseason program.
“Some of the people I talked to expect that the framework would likely build out from the contract Daniel Jones signed with the Giants two years ago (four years, $160 million with $81 million guaranteed),” Graziano added. “But it would obviously be adjusted upward for inflation and based on superior performance.”
Jaguars request to interview 49ers assistant for offensive line coach
“Clemmons, who was hired in 2024, just wrapped up his first season with the 49ers. Prior to that, he spent four seasons (2020-23) with the Las Vegas Raiders. He served as the Raiders’ assistant offensive line coach from 2021 to 2023 after initially joining the team as an offensive quality control coach in 2020.”
NFL.com mock draft has 49ers selecting Armand Membou at No. 11
“It’s too bad we didn’t get to see him at the Senior Bowl; for a snapshot of Membou’s talent, throw on the South Carolina game,” Edholm wrote. “He controlled some excellent defensive linemen in that November tilt.”
Membou arrived at the Senior Bowl but was forced to withdraw due to a bad case of the stomach flu. However, his draft stock remains strong, as he is still regarded as one of this class’s top offensive line prospects.”
