On the record
Called Shots →On or before 2026-08-09, San Francisco signs at least one more defensive lineman or edge rusher who is not on its roster as of 2026-08-02. Method, fixed in advance: read the official transaction log at 49ers.com on 2026-08-09 and count signings at position DL or LB of any player absent from the roster page counted on 2026-08-02. Practice-squad signings do not count, because there is no practice squad until after the August 30 cutdown. A player re-signed after being waived counts.
KhaDarel Hodge is on the San Francisco 49ers' initial 53-man roster as announced by the club on 2026-08-30, and Ogbo Okoronkwo is not. Both halves must hold. If either name lands the other way, the take is scored wrong.
Gracen Halton is on the San Francisco 49ers' initial 53-man roster as announced by the club on 2026-08-30. If he is not on that roster, the take is scored wrong. A practice-squad signing after a waiver does not count.
San Francisco signs at least one of Doug Kramer, Joe Michalski or Lecitus Smith to its 90-man roster on or before 2026-08-12. Scored off the club's own transaction log at 49ers.com, with ESPN's 49ers transaction log as the second feed. A practice-squad agreement does not count, because there is no practice squad until after the August 30 cutdown; the claim is a signing to the active 90.
Between 2026-08-11 and 2026-08-29 inclusive, EVERY San Francisco 49ers addition to the 90-man roster is announced together with at least one corresponding subtraction in the same club announcement. Scored off the club's own transaction log at 49ers.com, entry by entry. The take is WRONG if any single dated entry in that window adds one or more players without removing at least one in the same entry. Placements on injured reserve or the physically-unable-to-perform list count as subtractions when they appear in the same entry as a signing, and do NOT count when they appear on their own date. The August 30 cutdown itself is outside the window and does not score.
The 49ers record MORE than 35 team sacks in the 2026 regular season, i.e. 35.5 or more. Exactly 35.0 or fewer grades this WRONG.
Written about him
Jalen Stroman Played Every Defensive Snap And More Special Teams Than Anybody
Six calls on San Francisco's initial 53-man roster, due Sunday at 3 p.m. Pacific. In: Jalen Stroman, who played all 66 defensive snaps and 21 on special teams against the Raiders, the most of any 49er; Nate Hobbs; and Jacob Cowing, already on the ledger since August 23. Out: Jordan Watkins, who played 53 of 61 offensive snaps and touched the ball nine ways; Ashtyn Davis; and Ogbo Okoronkwo, already on the ledger since August 5. Every call scores off the club's announced initial 53 and nothing else. A man placed on injured reserve from that list counts as having made it.
The 49ers Signed A Pro Bowl Special Teamer This Morning. He Has Never Returned A Kick.
San Francisco signed WR KhaDarel Hodge and DL Ogbo Okoronkwo to one-year deals at 9:59 a.m. Wednesday and waived DL Kevin Givens and DL Cameron Sample. Hodge made the Pro Bowl in 2024 as a special teamer and has zero career kick returns and zero career punt returns, which is worth knowing on the morning this site published a kick-return incentive in Deebo Samuel's contract. Givens lasted ten days. Five defensive linemen have signed here in ten days and six have gone.
