Some 49ers stories from the last week for Arizona Cardinals fans to know

We have made it through another week in the NFL offseason and it is time to check in with the Arizona Cardinals' division rivals. What has been going on with the NFC West?

How about the San Francisco 49ers?

Below are a few 49ers stories from the last week that Cardinals fans should know about.

49ers banking on 2nd-year players

After what was a very quiet free agent period, there is pressure on five second-year players.

WR Rickay Pearsall
CB Renardo Green
S Malik Mustapha
RB Isaac Guerendo
LB Tatun Bethune

So much dead money

With trades and releases, the 49ers are carrying more than $86 million in dead money charges against the salary cap in 2025.

Trade, signing announced

It was reported already that the Niners were trading running back Jordan Mason to the Minnesota Vikings. That move was made official, and they also signed safety Siran Neal.

Niners have a plan

It has felt like the 49ers have been falling apart with the mix of releases, trades and free agent departures. However, general manager John Lynch insists they have a plan.

Mac Jones trying to follow path of another QB?

Two years ago, after being considered a first-round bust, Sam Darnold signed with the Niners to be their backup quarterback. One year as a backup, then a fantastic year as a starter and he is the new starter for the Seattle Seahawks with a $100 million deal. Mac Jones appears to be trying to do the same thing.
