Such disappointments will make changes, regardless of where it happens. However, most of those turnover in the roster had an impact on the defense, and by the current setting situation, Juszczyk has a reason to feel optimistic about the San Francisco violation that came in 2025, even if it is a season that will be played without a deebo Samuel, which was given to Washington.
“I feel good about where the offense is. I think we’ve had one of the best summers we’ve had in a long time,” he said. “Everyone was there (during exercises), the clubs were through the roof. I love the boys we added. I feel very good with where we are.… Brock (Purdy) got paid and we don’t have to worry about it.”
Juszczyk almost lost his opportunity in another season with 49ers, who cut him to save Cap Space and let him sit long in the open market long enough to fully visited Pittsburgh Steelers.

“I think we’ve been very hungry all this offseason,” he said. “The fact that everyone was there and everyone was grinding, it was this little extra motivation to really start it.”
Their journey 2025 begins after two weeks. They will hope it will end in the stadium they call home: Levi’s Stadium, host Super Bowl LX.
“I think we have been talking about it since we found out two years ago or whatever,” said Juszczyk. “It’s the dream area that it ends there. And I hope that’s how it goes up.
“But you know, it’s July and I have to give you the classic,” we can’t look that far ahead. … it’s all about training camps after two weeks. “
