“I credit @DeMarcusWare. He changed the way I looked at football”- Trent Williams

Trent Williams is one of the best athletes to play left tackle, but the NFL transition wasn’t cake. He never had to study film in college but Demarcus Ware changed that. Then, a prime time match up… pic.twitter.com/LQu47uOqHR

Sure, the 49ers had a ton of injuries in 2025. But things were even worse for the Cardinals, who combined the hardest schedule in the NFL with a near-record total of Adjusted Games Lost to injury trailing only the 2021 Ravens.https://t.co/4VlwMCsmqQ

Arizona Cardinals

Do you think Malik Willis ends up in Arizona?

BREER: Spencer, I can see why people think that’s on the table. Willis came up in Mike LaFleur’s style of offense and played for Mike’s brother, Matt, in Green Bay. He’s the sort of high-end bridge that could help get a team that’s picking high through in a year where there aren’t many highly-touted quarterbacks. But the financial reality here is the challenge

Arizona owes Kyler Murray $36.8 million for 2026, via the guarantees on the contract he signed in ’22. Presuming Murray does a league-minimum deal elsewhere, the Cardinals will only have $1.3 million of that alleviated. So they’ll likely be responsible for $35.5 million in cash, and that, plus more than $20 million in leftover prorated bonus money on the cap.

San Francisco 49ers

What rumblings are you hearing for the Niners!!??

BREER: keep an eye on the receiver spot. Brandon Aiyuk is obviously on the way out, and it sure seems like Jauan Jennings is too. The Niners will return former first-round pick Ricky Pearsall, and not a ton after that. There’s a developing young guy in Jacob Cowing, and an older vet in Demarcus Robinson. Help is needed, for sure.

Along those lines, I’ve heard they have an interest in both Alec Pierce and Romeo Doubs on the free-agent market. And failing that, there’s a deep class in the draft, with Indiana’s Omar Cooper Jr. sticking out as a nice fit for San Francisco.
