49ers reuniting with Pro Bowl FB Kyle Juszczyk on 2-year, $8 million deal: Source
The San Francisco 49ers are re-signing fullback Kyle Juszczyk to a two-year, $8 million contract, a league source said Saturday. The nine-time Pro Bowler will return to San Francisco after being released earlier this week.
Juszczyk took a visit with the Pittsburgh Steelers but returns to the team he spent the last eight years of his NFL career with. Juszczyk spent his first four NFL seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, who drafted him in 2013.

Juszczyk, who turns 34 in April, is a contributor in both the run and pass games and caught at least 14 passes in 11 consecutive seasons, including 30 as recently as 2021. His return follows a number of big-name exits following the opening of the new league year on Wednesday.
Left guard Aaron Banks and left tackle Jaylon Moore left for Green Bay and Kansas City, respectively, after wide receiver Deebo Samuel was traded to the Washington Commanders ahead of free agency. On defense, the 49ers lost tackles Javon Hargrave and Maliek Collins, linebacker Dre Greenlaw and defensive backs Charvarius Ward and Talanoa Hufanga.
Juszczyk’s return is a shot of good news to a locker room shaken by a flurry of departures earlier in the week. The two most prominent were Juszczyk’s and Greenlaw’s. Neither was a total shock. The 49ers’ other linebackers seemed to sense that Greenlaw would not be back as the 2024 regular season drew to a close. Juszczyk, meanwhile, was asked to take a paycut last year, signaling the 49ers could try to do so again.
Juszczyk remains as the longest-tenured player on the team, someone who arrived shortly after coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch. Because of that, Juszczyk’s forged a number of deep bonds in the locker room, especially with tight end George Kittle, who also arrived in 2017, and with tailback Christian McCaffrey.

There was always a chance Juszczyk could return simply because the fullback market is so limited and because the 49ers continue to value it more than most teams. Soon after Juszczyk was informed of his release Monday, for example, the Ravens signed fullback Patrick Ricard to a one-year deal to remain in Baltimore. After that, the Buffalo Bills announced they’d re-signed fullback Reggie Gilliam to a one-year deal.
According to a league source, Juszczyk had light interest from the Detroit Lions and more serious interest from the Las Vegas Raiders and Steelers. That included a visit to Pittsburgh earlier in the week. But the fact that the 49ers won out with a two-year deal underscores that they still value the fullback position — and Juszczyk — more than any team in the league.

Artwork quilt unveiled at San Francisco dirt alley that was mistakenly bought at auction
In the fall of 2025, CBS News Bay Area first brought you the story of a Sunset couple that had the winning bid for a piece of property next to their home. They thought they were getting the duplex next door. Instead, they got a small patch of land known as Dirt Alley.
This story has many chapters, but it ended with a community celebration.
The final chapter in the story of Dirt Alley was written Wednesday night as they unveiled the tiles of artwork on the pavement.
“I’m very happy today,” JJ Hollingsworth said. “It’s just amazing that these artists that I’ve been working with and sold the alley to have come through with this incredible art.”
JJ Hollingsworth was the original property owner. She took out $25,000 from her retirement to pay for this parcel in a city auction. She thought she got a bargain for the duplex next door. When she found out it was actually the alley, the stress led to health problems and a lot of anxiety.
“I’m trying to forget, but I caused all this,” she said. “That’s what happened. I caused all this.”
Then came an email that would help her get out of the Dirt Alley nightmare. A group of friends from San Francisco was interested in buying this 82-foot-long alley.
“I know she was really stressed out when she first bought this and kind of didn’t know what she was going to do with it,” Theo Bleier said. “It’s really lucky. We were going to buy a different parcel, and we lost the auction. It was more than we wanted to spend. We felt really lucky the coincidence worked out, and we were able to help out JJ.”
The new owners then had the idea of laying an artwork quilt on the pavement and took submissions online.
“I think we had about one million people visit the website at least,” owner Patrick Hultquist said. “1.2 million, I think is the number of people that visited the website.”
The tiles with the most votes made it onto what is now called Notion way.
“Now, it’s not an official name of the street. It’s an unofficial name, but we did get an official-looking sign,” he said.
JJ Hollingsworth, who is a music composer, wrote a ballad called Notion Way for the special occasion. What started as a horrible mistake ended up bringing the community together.
“It’s really beautiful,” neighbors Tom Goslinga & Nesha Niezrecki said. “It’s how culture gets created in a lot of ways. People kind of being creative with an interesting situation. It’s really cool.”
While Hollingsworth is grateful for how this story ended, she says she learned a valuable lesson from this whole experience.
“Read the fine print and ask a lot of questions,” she said.

Driver of bullet-riddled car flees North Bay deputies over Golden Gate Bridge
SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — A driver in a car riddled with bullets fled a Marin County Sheriff’s Office deputy at high speeds over the Golden Gate Bridge into San Francisco early Tuesday morning, according to authorities. The suspect, identified as Martin Zuniga Jr., 26, was later located in Novato and arrested.
The deputy first observed the suspect driving at approximately 100 mph on Highway 101 near the Richardson Bay Bridge. After pulling over the car, the deputy “noticed approximately 14 fresh bullet holes in the vehicle,” the sheriff’s office wrote. Zuniga allegedly told the deputy that he had just been involved in a road rage incident near Novato, but he refused to get out of the car and give a statement.
Zuniga “abruptly put the car into drive and fled the scene,” the sheriff’s office wrote.
The pursuit led to the Golden Gate Bridge, where the deputy disengaged due to unsafe speeds across the span, according to authorities. The car was later found abandoned on the streets of San Francisco.
At approximately 6 p.m., detectives located Zuniga in downtown Novato and placed him into custody. The sheriff’s office said at the time of the arrest that he was in possession of a loaded .40-caliber pistol with a high-capacity magazine and suspected cocaine.
Zuniga was booked into the Marin County Jail for:
- Reckless evading
- Violently resisting law enforcement
- Felon in possession of a firearm
- Felon in possession of ammunition
- Addict in possession of a firearm
Anyone with information regarding a shooting or road rage incident in the evening or early morning hours of June 15 and June 16 is asked to contact the Marin County Sheriff’s Office at 415-479-2311.
