Team news: San Francisco 49ers

[Sanu] Back with the #49ers for stint No. 2

The signing doesn't really move the fantasy needle, but Mohamed Sanu is back with the 49ers after being cut three games in 2020.

#49ers signed QB Josh Rosen and RB Austin Walter to 1-year deals. Both were slated to be exclusive rights free agents.

Josh Rosen was active for two contests with the 49ers after being lifted from Tampa Bay's practice squad late in the season, but never saw the field. He should compete for Jimmy Garoppolo's backup spot, but it's still early in the game to know how that position will shake out.

The 49ers have signed restricted free agent RB Jeff Wilson, Jr. to a one-year contract.

He set career-highs with 126 carries, 600 yards and 7 TD, playing great for the team late in the season.

Coming off a career-high season, Jeff Wilson will once again be competing with Raheem Mostert for the lead job as they're both now signed through the 2021 season. Both Tevin Coleman and Jerick McKinnon are set to be unrestricted free agents this offseason, leaving the third-down back slot up in the air.

49ers WRs Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel will not play Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area.

Safe to avoid any 49ers Week 17.

49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk suffered a high ankle sprain during Saturday’s loss to the Cardinals and will not play in Week 17 against the Seahawks.

The 49ers will also be without OT Trent Williams, who has a sprained elbow. Aiyuk had himself a fine rookie season, including leading the team in catches and yards. No George Kittle or Deebo Samuel obviously played into that, but still a good rookie season, nonetheless. At least Kittle is back to give San Francisco something on offense, but the team is ready to just play out the final game and move on to 2021. They “host” the Seahawks in Arizona on Sunday, with the Seahawks playing for the No. 1 seed in the NFC.

During his press conference with the media Monday, 49ers head coach said he believes Jimmy Garoppolo will be the team’s starting quarterback in 2021.

The future of the position has been an interesting topic in recent weeks with the injuries to Garoppolo, his contract (no guaranteed money after this season) and the 49ers possibly in position to draft a quarterback in 2021, even if they have to move up for one. The team will finish with a losing record and be the latest to suffer a Super Bowl hangover. Garoppolo will have the 11th-highest quarterback cap hit in 2021 at $26.9 million dollars, but they would save $24.1 million in cap space if they move on from him. It will be an interesting offseason surrounding the former NFC champions.
