McCaffrey stressed his desire to stay with the franchise that traded for him four years ago, calling it “one of the best organizations in sports.” “That would be an honor (finishing his career with the 49ers),” he said, adding that he’s grateful for the opportunity and the people he works with every day.
The veteran back also addressed the 49ers’ NFC West rival, the Seattle Seahawks, noting a “serious dislike” for the division’s teams but underscoring a mutual respect for the physical style of play. He credited the division with being exceptionally competitive this season and said the rivalry adds anticipation and intensity to the games.
Amid the discussions of the Super Bowl, McCaffrey highlighted a notable off-field collaboration, partnering with eBay for a San Francisco pop-up ahead of the game. Fans could bid on vintage sportswear as McCaffrey and fellow athletes, including Rob Gronkowski, hosted live auctions and showcased apparel purchased from eBay.
The AR moment of the week also tied to his ambitions for the near future: McCaffrey indicated he hopes to be preparing to play in next year’s Super Bowl in Los Angeles, continuing to pursue a long-term run with the 49ers rather than pursuing other options in free agency.
On the contract front, while the 49ers hold the potential out, McCaffrey underscored his commitment to San Francisco. He reiterated his wish to remain with the organization for the foreseeable future, framing it as a privilege to be part of a team he respects deeply.
Overall, McCaffrey’s remarks underscore a balance between dedication to the 49ers and the practical realities of his contract, leaving the door open for future discussions about his long-term role with the franchise.
