Kyle Juszczyk says the 49ers don’t need to win the offseason.
Juszczyk knows the Seahawks are the defending Super Bowl champions and the Rams are the talk of the NFL offseason, and if that means the 49ers are getting overlooked in the NFC West, Juszczyk said he’ll gladly accept that.
“We feel great about where our team is,” Juszczyk told NFL Media. “The fact that we won 13 games last season with all that we had to deal with, I think that’s easy to forget. And rightfully so. The Seahawks won a Super Bowl, the Rams had a great season, they had some great additions in the offseason, so I can understand why that is the case. But I think we feel great about where we’re at. I love our squad. I think that we have only improved. Guys are getting healthy. We added Mike Evans and Osa [Odighizuwa] on defense, which I think both of those guys are going to make such an impact. I think we’re sitting in a good spot. If people want to forget about us, that’s fantastic. That’s a good place to be sometimes.”
The 49ers have a strong team heading into 2026, but in the NFC West odds they’re +305 long shots, well behind the favored Rams (+100) and the defending champion Seahawks (+205). The 49ers will need to surprise some people to win the division. Juszczyk likes the sound of that.
