That night, the under on Porter's 3-pointers was DraftKings' biggest money winner for bettors of any NBA player props.

| |  |  | |  |  | | So get ready to learn the terms “setup zone” and “landing zone”, and to see a radical change which should lead to a LOT more kickoff returns. The modified kickoff is going in for one year, will be assessed after that. | | | | 3/26/24, 6:11 AM |

B- KYLE SPEAKS:
-on AIYUK:
3. AIYUK’S STATUS *
This offseason’s most publicized drama revolves around Brandon Aiyuk’s contract status, and whether the 49ers’ leading receiver will play under his fifth-year option ($14.1 million) or land a multi-year raise, presumably with the 49ers.
While Shanahan prefers removing himself from “sensitive” negotiations, he noted: “I’ve seen Brandon a couple of times. I actually ran into him in Cabo last week. He was randomly at our hotel; I don’t think he wanted to be. He’s doing good. Hopefully we’ll get this done sooner than later.”
Although Aiyuk has vented on social media, Shanahan said that hasn’t interfered with their relationship: “I’ve seen him a couple of times and we’ve been good. I don’t expect it, too. Brandon understands the situation and I know I do. I’m excited to get him back playing for us.”
Shanahan acknowledged that quarterback Brock Purdy’s success is tied to having quality receivers, adding; “It starts there with Brandon. It’s real big for Brock and his future, to make sure we have a good group for him going forward.”
DLINE:
D-LINE CHANGES
In come defensive linemen Leonard Floyd, Yetur Gross-Matos, Maliek Collins, Jordan Elliott and perhaps more. “We really wanted to add some guys who had some good health history,” Shanahan said.
Most appealing is Floyd. “He goes all day. We played against him too much. I never liked playing against him,” Shanahan said. “He’s always been such a good player. It was real cool having Brandon on our staff, because he got to coach him in L.A., and just hearing the type of practice player he is, he goes all day, loves playing football, and I’m pumped to have him on our team.”
The most disappointing departure? Arik Armstead, who was released after nine seasons and struck a lucrative deal with Jacksonville.
“It wasn’t something we really wanted to happen. It’s one of the tough things when trying to keep a team together and where it goes with the salary cap,” Shanahan said. “He got in a good spot and real happy where he ended up, but hate to see him go.”
SAFETY DEPTH
Although veteran safeties are idling in free agency and ex-Colts starter Julian Blackmon recently visited, the 49ers aren’t compelled to bid high for one when a starting spot is not up for grabs with Ji’Ayir Brown coming off his rookie year and Talanoa Hufanga returning from knee reconstruction.
“We’d like to add but I’m also real comfortable with how good Ji’Ayir (Brown) played last year,” Shanahan said. “Everyone knows what Huf’s done. It’s always scary coming back from an ACL, but once you come back in this day and age, it’s usually OK. I expect to get him some time in training camp. Getting back George Odum, he’s probably the best special teams player in the league, and he can also play safety well, too. And we’ll see how it goes in the draft.”
Having a first round pick for the first time since 2021:
It’ll be more fun,” Shanahan said. “It’s pretty miserable not having a first-round pick, just watching and having nothing to do that first day. We knew we weren’t going to have one the last (two) years, so we didn’t look as much at those top picks. We’ll be prepared for everybody this year. You never know whether we stay where we’re at or if we move around, but at pick No. 31, you have to be ready for anything.”
OLINE:
LINE CONTINUITY
Right guard Jon Feliciano’s return on a one-year deal ensured that the 49ers could field the same starting offensive line as last season. “We’ll always keep look to add and improve through the draft, to get more competition in there,” Shanahan said. “But I’ve been real happy with our group.”
That holds true with right tackle Colton McKivitz, who signed a one-year extension through 2025. “He’s the exact type of guy we want. He’s one of the real leaders on our team,” Shanahan said. “He did a hell of a job playing.”
The other starters: left tackle Trent Williams, left guard Aaron Banks, and, center Jake Brendel. Feliciano overtook Spencer Burford as the starting right guard after adjusting his style. “Once he got out there on the field, the way he was in games on Sundays, the way he reacted in the huddle, the ways guys gravitated to him, you could tell football wasn’t too big for him,” Shanahan said of Feliciano.
BRANDON STALEY’S ROLE
Former Los Angeles Chargers coach Brandon Staley has joined Shanahan’s staff, though his role remains vague, presumably as the assistant head coach, a title that Shanahan and the 49ers have yet to announce.
“Brandon will be a big part of the game plans, implementing a lot of our defense here in the offseason and during each week,” Shanahan said. “He’s been a big part of free agency, helped us with the draft and he’ll be a huge asset to the whole coaching staff.
“… I know we looked into him for the coordinator role, but I really wanted to stay in-house, and keep it similar to what we’d done in the past with our scheme. Being able to get Brandon on board, it was huge.”

"It's huge. I mean it's hard to be a successful quarterback if you don't have real good receivers and so it starts there with Brandon and I think it's real big for Brock and his future, making… | | | | 3/26/24, 6:42 AM |
