The 49ers will be under substantial pressure in the 2025 season to bounce back from the disappointment of their 2024 campaign and return to Super Bowl contention.
Despite significant changes this offseason, the 49ers are a team that continues to the huge weight of expectations, and events in training camp can have a huge influence on their success in meeting those expectations.
Last year, training camp was overshadowed by the contract dramas surrounding Brandon Aiyuk and Trent Williams. With extensions for Brock Purdy, George Kittle and Fred Warner long since wrapped up, the 49ers have no such worries this year.
