Cap Jump Rewrites 49ers' 2026 Playbook

The NFL expects a 2026 salary cap between $301.2M and $305.7M, a sharp rise from 2025's $279.2M, shaping the 49ers’ strategic planning. In a 2026 mock draft, Utah OT Caleb Lomu is viewed as a long‑term replacement at left/right tackle behind Trent Williams, with strong pass protection (82.1 PFF grade in 2025) but weaker run blocking (62.0). The 49ers are also weighing an internal candidate, Bradley, for defensive coordinator, whose Seattle/Chargers defenses were strong early on but inconsistent recently with the Colts, while he served as a motivating presence for SF in 2025.

49ers Expect Brandon Aiyuk to Move On, Jennings Emerges as Priority

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch indicated Brandon Aiyuk is unlikely to remain with the team, citing an unresolved situation and Aiyuk’s ACL injury; the club reportedly voided his 2026 guaranteed money, and coach Kyle Shanahan had said Aiyuk wasn’t showing up for rehab. With Aiyuk seemingly out, the 49ers are prioritizing re-signing WR Jauan Jennings, who led San Francisco in catches, yards, and TDs in 2025.
