In IDP fantasy football leagues for the 2023 season, linebacker T.J. Edwards of the Chicago Bears is recommended as a top target due to his consistent production and improved overall game. Linebacker Denzel Perryman of the Houston Texans is also a sleeper pick, expected to excel in a scheme better suited for his talent. Edge rusher Josh Allen of the Jacksonville Jaguars is a darkhorse pick for leading scorer at his position, with strong pass-rush metrics and a reliable playing time.

Nick Bosa is at the 49ers' facility for the mandatory part of the offseason program, and the team is aiming to sign him to a massive contract extension before training camp. Bosa is preparing himself for a long year and has been taking a few more recovery days this offseason.

The 49ers are assured that all is going smoothly as long as it's business as usual with Bosa.
Nick Bosa expressed confidence that he will get a deal done with the San Francisco 49ers before or at the start of training camp.

San Francisco 49ers General Manager John Lynch spoke to reporters at the NFL owners' meetings, discussing the team's quarterback situation, with Brock Purdy currently the "leader in the clubhouse" for the starting job.

Pro Football Focus gave the San Francisco 49ers a B+ for their free agency moves, praising the addition of Javon Hargrave to their already strong defensive front.

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch discussed the team's free-agency moves, including the addition of defensive tackle Javon Hargrave and cornerback Isaiah Oliver. Lynch also revealed the team's interest in quarterback Sam Darnold, whom they evaluated in the 2018 NFL Draft and again when he was on the trade block in 2021. The 49ers are still looking to add depth and competition in a few areas, but with their current roster, they could be looking at a fairly complete team with very few weaknesses.

Javon Hargrave, the San Francisco 49ers' new defensive tackle, earned his nickname "Gravedigger" from his college defensive coordinator, Mike Adams, during his time at South Carolina State.

Ben Roethlisberger says 49ers reached out to him after Jimmy Garoppolo's injury, but he couldn't see himself in anything other than black and gold.

The 49ers could target tight ends like Luke Schoonmaker or Will Mallory in the 2023 draft to back up George Kittle. Juice Scruggs, a versatile interior offensive lineman from Penn State, is also a prospect to watch for the 49ers.
