There's A Lot Of Teams That Will Be Interested In Brooks
Q: What went into the decision to release Ahmad Brooks right now?
A: Doing it right now is more just in the best interest for Ahmad. It’s a real tough decision. (General Manager John Lynch) and I had gone back and forth with it the last few days. Once we really came to the conclusion he wasn’t going to be a part of our final 53, we weren’t going to keep him around just to let him know nine days from now. So, we know there’s a lot of teams that will be interested in him. So, we gave him that opportunity to go out and find them.
Q: What does this say about Eli Harold and how that SAM linebacker position is shaping up?
A: Eli’s our starter right now at SAM linebacker. I feel like we do have some other depth there too. A number of guys have done a good job. Guys like Dekoda (Watson). We have some versatility there where not all the guys that are listed there. We also have some guys who have the ability to play there who aren’t listed there. So, I feel good about our depth at SAM and the guys that stepped up and done a good job.
Q: Have you been able to talk to Ahmad and was he understanding of the decision?

Will Mostert run for 49ers again?
Raheem Mostert was primed this year to be the centerpiece of one of the NFL’s most dynamic offenses, featured as the lead performer in San Francisco’s grinding rushing attack while making his climb among the league’s top running backs.

49ers make All-Pro star highest-paid LB in NFL
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.
