The San Francisco 49ers have officially revealed their final 53-man roster for the 2025 NFL season, and there are plenty of surprises, tough cuts, and big roster questions heading into Week 1. Quarterbacks Brock Purdy and Mac Jones lead the offense, while the backfield is stacked with Christian McCaffrey, Isaac Guerendo, Jordan James, and Brian Robinson. But the roster news doesn’t come without controversy.
- The wide receiver room is dangerously thin, with just Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall fully healthy after Brandon Aiyuk landed on the PUP list and Jacob Cowing is expected to go on IR. Veterans like Russell Gage, Chosen Anderson, DeMarcus Robinson, and Jeff Wilson Jr. were among the most notable roster cuts, leaving serious depth concerns. Could the 49ers look to free agents like Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Hunter Renfrow, or Robert Woods to fill the void?
- On defense, the Niners kept a loaded group on the defensive line with Nick Bosa, Bryce Huff, Mykel Williams, Alfred Collins, Yetur Gross-Matos, and more, but surprise cuts like Trevis Gipson raised eyebrows. At linebacker, Fred Warner anchors the core with Dee Winters and Nick Martin, while the secondary is led by Deommodore Lenoir, Ji’Ayir Brown, and Jason Pinnock.
- We’ll break down every position group, the most shocking roster moves, the biggest winners and losers from cut day, and which free agent targets could be brought in to bolster depth before Week 1. Can the 49ers overcome injuries and suspensions to remain a Super Bowl contender in 2025?
