The San Francisco 49ers have been active in reshaping their roster during the 2025 offseason, making several notable moves and facing trade rumors.
**Key Transactions:**
* The 49ers declined a significant trade offer for All-Pro tight end George Kittle before the NFL Draft. Reports suggest a team, potentially the Chicago Bears, offered a second-round pick for Kittle. Despite this tempting proposition, the 49ers chose to retain Kittle and subsequently signed him to a five-year, \$91.4 million extension shortly after the draft .([SBNation.com][1])
* In the 2025 NFL Draft, the 49ers selected defensive end Mykel Williams at No. 11 overall. Williams is praised for his speed, power, and versatility, and analysts suggest he could thrive in the team’s defensive scheme .([Niners Nation][2])
* The team also made several roster moves, including re-signing fullback Kyle Juszczyk to a two-year deal and trading running back Jordan Mason to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the 2025 draft .([San Francisco 49ers][3])
**Trade Rumors and Speculations:**
* There have been discussions about the 49ers potentially acquiring Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett. Reports suggest the 49ers could send their first and second-round picks to Cleveland in a deal to obtain Garrett, aiming to pair him with Nick Bosa to strengthen their pass rush .([Sporting News][4])
* Cornerback Charvarius Ward, who had a slow start to the 2024 season, has been mentioned as a potential trade candidate. With an expiring contract and the team’s need for cap space, the 49ers might consider moving Ward if the right offer comes along .([NBC Bay Area][5])
As the offseason progresses, the 49ers continue to evaluate their roster and make strategic decisions to position themselves for success in the upcoming season.
