The San Francisco 49ers were one of the hottest teams entering the 2024 season after a Super Bowl run in the previous season. The heat fizzled out as soon as the second and third weeks rolled in as they faced a huge injury issue across different positions.
What about the next year? They have a new issue haunting their dreams to ascend to the top. The San Francisco 49ers are now without several players including wide receiver Deebo Samuel, and standout defenders Dre Greenlaw and Talanoa Hufanga among other big names.
Super Bowl XLV champion and ex-Green Bay Packers player James Jones alleged that it closed doors for the San Francisco 49ers’ quest to play Super Bowl LX in front of home fans.
The 49ers’ Super Bowl door is shut and SLAMMED… I don’t know what the Niners are doing, Right now, you are saying Brock Purdy can carry our football team with no weapons around.

The San Francisco 49ers have faced a major roster shakeup as free agency opened, with the franchise experiencing more departures than additions. According to reports, at least 25 of the 41 players who logged a minimum of 275 snaps during the 2023 regular season and playoffs will not return to the team for the upcoming season.
San Francisco’s offseason approach has largely focused on financial maneuvering, limiting their capacity to retain several core contributors. As a result, notable talent from both the offensive and defensive units has departed, leaving gaps in key positions ahead of the 2025 NFL season. However, with months to go for the next season, the 49ers still have some opportunity to fill the gaps and lead a successful campaign.
What are the notable losses for the San Francisco 49ers in the offseason?
The recent reports of Kyle Juszczyk leaving the Niners were like a final nail in the coffin for many San Francisco fans. In the last few days, they have lost a considerable amount of players, which has put their Super Bowl hopes in a dwindle.

Here are the few losses that happened in the last few days:
Deebo Samuel, WR | Traded to the Washington Commanders |
Dre Greenlaw, LB | Traded to the Denver Broncos |
Charvarius Ward, CB | Traded to the Indianapolis Colts |
Talanga Hufanga, S | Traded to the Denver Broncos |
Aaron Banks, G | Traded to the Green Bay Packers |
Jaylon Moore, OT | Traded to the Kansas City Chiefs |
Elijah Mitchell, RB | Traded to the Kansas City Chiefs |
Javon Hargrave, DT | Traded to the Minnesota Vikings |
Maliek Collins, DT | Cut |
Kyle Juszczyk, FB | Cut |
On the other hand, some minor additions have been made to close out some voids. The San Francisco 49ers have agreed to a three-year contract with former Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Luke Farrell. Farrell is expected to form a close chemistry with George Kittle and act as a solid blocker for their offense.
