49ers can bolster Super Bowl chances with this signing
Through 15 weeks, the 49ers have recorded just 16 sacks, which is the fewest in the league. It's six sacks fewer than the New York Jets and Baltimore Ravens who have the next fewest. While trading for Keion White and signing Clelin Ferrell has helped, San Francisco could still use more to give them a better shot of making a postseason run in 2025.
Obviously, the one seed is what the 49ers are aspiring for. It gets you a bye week, and the team that may want a bye week the most is the 49ers. If they can get a little more rested for some of their injured defenders and Ricky Pearsall, it would go a long way. They draw the bottom seed the rest of the way, which helps as well.

NFL Pro Bowl 2026 rosters announced: Ravens, Broncos, 49ers, Seahawks lead with 6 selections
The Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks lead the way with each team sending six players to the Pro Bowl Games this year. Right behind them with five selections each are the Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions, Los Angeles Chargers and Philadelphia Eagles.
Six Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks were selected for the NFL Pro Bowl Games.

The 2026 Pro Bowl Games will feature the NFL's top players during Super Bowl LX Week, including Raiders' Maxx Crosby and Brock Bowers.
They've already been eliminated from playoff contention and have won only one game against their divisional foes. The 49ers have nothing to play for other than pride at this point. They're facing a Lions team that has the best record in the NFC but hasn't even clinched their division yet.
