Santa Clara, CA \u2013 As the\u00a0San Francisco 49ers<\/span>\u00a0finalize preparations for the 2026 NFL Draft, internal roster decisions are already beginning to take shape behind closed doors.<\/p>\n

With expectations high and roster spots becoming increasingly competitive, the organization has reportedly started communicating difficult truths to certain players before draft night arrives.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sources indicate that head coach Kyle Shanahan has informed two current players that they are no longer considered part of the team\u2019s long-term plans, signaling a potential shift in roster construction.<\/p>\n

The message, while not an immediate release or trade, opens the door for both players\u2019 representatives to begin exploring opportunities with other teams ahead of or shortly after the draft.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ji\u2019Ayir Brown Facing Uncertain Future Amid Safety Concerns<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Trenton
For Brown, the situation reflects growing instability at the safety position. The 49ers are widely expected to target an upgrade in the draft, potentially as early as the first round.<\/p>\n

With his contract entering its final year and performances viewed as inconsistent, Brown has struggled to cement himself as a reliable long-term starter in the defensive scheme.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Isaac Guerendo\u2019s Roster Spot in Serious Jeopardy<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"How
Guerendo\u2019s outlook appears even more concerning. After seeing minimal action last season, he has yet to establish a meaningful role within the offense.<\/p>\n

With the team lacking dependable depth behind Christian McCaffrey, the 49ers are expected to draft a running back, which could directly threaten Guerendo\u2019s place on the roster.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

From a strategic standpoint, this early communication allows the 49ers to remain transparent while giving both players time to prepare for potential changes.<\/p>\n

Rather than waiting until final roster cuts, the team is giving agents an opportunity to explore the market and identify better fits elsewhere.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

While neither player has officially been moved, the message is clear as draft night approaches.<\/p>\n

For San Francisco, this is about reshaping the roster for sustained success. For Brown and Guerendo, the next few weeks could determine where their careers head next.<\/p>\n
