Richburg does 49ers right in retirement

There will be two ways to look at Weston Richburg’s brief but meaningful tenure with the 49ers.

He was one of the most costly free-agent buys in team history. But he also anchored the middle of an offensive line that led the 49ers to the Super Bowl.

Unfortunately, Richburg never made it to that Super Bowl with the rest of the team. Nor did he ever play another snap for the 49ers after the December injury in 2019 when Richburg sustained a torn patellar tendon during San Francisco’s wild 48-46 victory over the New Orleans Saints that helped the 49ers land home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs.

Richburg announced his retirement in June after missing the entire 2020 season due to knee and shoulder ailments. He underwent hip surgery earlier this year that helped hasten his decision to retire — Richburg’s third surgery since joining the 49ers.

“Injuries are an unfortunate part of this game and I’ve reached a point where my body won’t allow me to continue playing and competing at a high level,” Richburg said. “I consider myself extremely blessed to have played in this league and am so grateful for the experiences over the last seven years. I was able to play some good football all over the country and was fortunate enough to finish my career with the greatest franchise in sports.”

Richburg had played at a Pro Bowl level throughout the season before that debilitating 2019 injury, beginning to pay dividends for the 49ers on the blockbuster five-year, $47.5 million deal he signed with San Francisco that made him the team’s prized acquisition in 2018 free agency.

Making the right choice at QB

In the weeks that follow after you read this — and perhaps sometime even sooner than that — Kyle Shanahan and the rest of the 49ers organization will make a titanic decision that will have present, future and perhaps even everlasting implications for the franchise. It will chart the course for the team’s pivotal 2021 season while determining whether San Francisco really does have the juice to return to powerhouse status and again be considered a legitimate contender to get back to the Super Bowl.

TOP 10 Linebacker seasons

Fred Warner vaulted to stardom with a spectacular 2020 season — and the 49ers rewarded him this summer with a $95.225 million deal that makes him the highest-paid inside linebacker in NFL history. By today’s standards, Warner’s performance last year was worth the money as he posted an Approximate Value of 19 — matching the highest score ever recorded by a San Francisco defender according to a Pro Football Reference formula that puts a single number on each player-season across all positions since 1960. Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman (twice) also had seasons with an AV of 19 as they dominate this list of the greatest individual seasons by a linebacker in 49ers history.
