This season marks the return of Robert Saleh as defensive coordinator, replacing Nick Sorensen, who was fired by the team after a single season. [1] Saleh had previously coordinated the 49ers' defense from 2017 to 2020, after which he spent three full seasons as the head coach of the New York Jets before being relieved of his position midway through the 2024 season. [2] [3]

The 2025 offseason saw a number of significant departures in free agency, among them linebacker Dre Greenlaw, guard Aaron Banks, safety Talanoa Hufanga, and cornerback Charvarius Ward. [4] Additionally, the 49ers traded wide receiver Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders. [5] This will be the team's first season since 2018 without either Samuel or Greenlaw on its roster.
