The San Francisco 49ers are taking a massive gamble in 2026, bringing back multiple players from their 2019 Super Bowl roster! With the blockbuster DeForest Buckner trade, Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch are reuniting a core of players that came agonizingly close to winning a championship.

What does this unusual roster-building strategy mean for Brock Purdy and San Francisco's Super Bowl chances?

On the Gold Standard 49ers Podcast, we're breaking down the strategy behind the Buckner trade
