More NFL offseason: League minicamp dates | Latest news, notes
Wednesday was a pretty big day for the 49ers, with upgrades flying everywhere. Quarterback Colin Kaepernick scored a new $126 million deal. Sourdough Sam, the 49ers mascot, didn't get that hooked up, but the team did throw him a bone and fit him with a new pair of Levi's jeans.
His pants are actually more expensive if you think about it; Levi's and the 49ers inked a 20-year, $220 million stadium-name deal ahead of the 49ers new home opening in 2014.
