NFC West news: 5 49ers stories for Cardinals fans to know from this week

We have reached the end of another week in the NFL offseason, which means it is time to check in with the rest of the NFC West and see what has been going on with the Arizona Cardinals' division rivals.

What is there to know about the San Francisco 49ers?

Below are a few stories from the last week about the Niners that Cardinals fans should know.

Purdy contract extension coming soon?

The 49ers have made it a habit of making contract extension talks last until the summer and nearly training camp. However, it appears that they could have a deal done as early as before the start of the offseason program this month.

Kicker competition coming

Kicker Jake Moody struggled last season. The 49ers plan to add competition for home this offseason.

Starting center job not up for grabs

While the 49ers are looking to add competition for several positions, it appears one job is secure. Starting center Jake Brendel is not in danger of losing his starting job, especially when the Niners have other positions to address on the offensive line this offseason.

No Super Bowl talk for Shanahan

The Niners had big expectations last season but ended up in last place in the NFC West. While still considered a likely competitor for the postseason and perhaps a championship, head coach Kyle Shanahan is staying present in each phase. He isn't getting ahead of himself.

Niners among cap space leaders

With the moves the 49ers have done this offseason, they are now ranked sixth in the league in cap space at more than $33 million.
