NFC West

The story authored by San Francisco 49ers rookie QB Brock Purdy last season won't soon be forgotten. Unfortunately, the tremendous story had a tough end, as the QB was sidelined in the NFC Title game with an elbow injury.

For NFL junkies, HBO's 'Hard Knocks' has long been a great way to get an inside look at one NFL Franchise during training camp and the preseason.

For the past few months, the San Francisco 49ers have repeatedly said they'd like to keep wide receiver Deebo Samuel for a long time. On Wednesday, it became clear that Samuel and the Niners don't quite see things the same way.

Pro-Bowl linebacker Bobby Wagner will be staying in the NFC West next season despite his release by the Seattle Seahawks earlier this month.

With the expectation that a trade would be forthcoming and Trey Lance would be taking over as the team's starting quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo sounded certain at his Feb. 1 news conference that it would be his last as a member of the San Francisco 49ers.
