49ers Bolster Offensive Line With Underrated Addition of Robert Jones

The San Francisco 49ers continue to fine-tune their roster in the trenches, bringing in veteran offensive lineman Robert Jones in a move that could quietly pay major dividends heading into the 2026 season.  It may not be the flashiest signing of the offseason, but it’s one that directly addresses a lingering concern along the interior offensive line.  With an opening at left guard, Jones steps in as an immediate contender to take over the role. At 27, Jones arrives in Santa Clara with meaningful experience under his belt. Over four seasons with the Miami Dolphins, he appeared in 49 games and made 30 starts, including a full 17-game slate in 2024. His steady presence and physical style of play helped him carve out a consistent role, particularly in the run game and pass protection.Mar 24, 2026

49ers Lock In Sam Okuayinonu with Smart, Low-Cost Deal

The San Francisco 49ers are bringing back a familiar piece up front, re-signing defensive end Sam Okuayinonu to a new one-year deal ahead of the 2026 season. Rather than letting the restricted free agent play under his original tender, the two sides worked out a revised contract that benefits both the player and the team. Okuayinonu had initially been given a right of first refusal tender worth $3.52 million with no guaranteed money attached. Instead, San Francisco pivoted to a more flexible agreement. According to Over the Cap, the new deal is valued at up to $2.3 million, including $1.8 million in guaranteed money, with a cap hit of $2.28 million.Mar 23, 2026
