Cam and 49ers Linebacker Eric Kendricks preview their Week 18 Games + Cam comments on his playing future

Author: iHeartPodcasts December 31, 2025 Duration: 49:38

On the latest Off the Edge with Cam Jordan podcast, Cam is joined by 49ers linebacker Eric Kendricks for a wide‑ranging, hilarious, and surprisingly honest conversation that swings from NFL war stories to car collections to questionable tattoos.

Eric kicks things off by declaring—alongside Cam—that he’s definitely better than his brother Mychal, before revealing he once thought the Saints were going to draft him in the first round. The two revisit their playoff battles, including the infamous Minneapolis Miracle matchup that still stings in New Orleans, and Eric opens up about the vibe inside the 49ers locker room and why it’s exactly what he hoped for.

The college stories start flowing as Eric explains why UCLA won him over (and why Cal rubbed him the wrong way), while Cam relives his own 3‑star recruitment journey and the chaos of taking every visit possible. From there, they dive into the wild 49ers–Bears 42-38 thriller, the chess‑match play‑calling between Kyle Shanahan and Ben Johnson, and how today’s offenses—and quarterbacks—are changing the sport.

With the 49ers pushing for the No. 1 seed, Eric talks about staying locked in, choosing San Francisco in free agency, and keeping his routine sharp in year 11.

Things take a turn when Cam refuses to call the Super Bowl a “San Francisco Super Bowl,” Eric reveals the newest addition to his car collection (a Honda CRX), and the two bond over stick‑shift lessons, Little Caesars schemes, and dream cars like the Ferrari F40 and Porsche Carrera GT.

The episode closes with Cam talking about his NFL future. A funny, insightful, and wide‑open conversation between two vets who’ve seen everything and aren’t afraid to talk about it.

The Off the Edge with Cam Jordan podcast is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeart Media.

Two established voices in football media, Daniel Jeremiah from Move the Sticks and Gregg Rosenthal from NFL Daily, have found a new home for their unfiltered conversations. Their 40s and Free Agents podcast, presented by iHeartPodcasts, is less a formal show and more like eavesdropping on a front office war room where the coffee is strong and the opinions are stronger. You’ll hear them dissect team-building strategies with the precision of scouts, but the dialogue is fueled by the kind of bold, often humorous debates that happen after the cameras turn off. Each episode digs into the critical decisions shaping all 32 franchises, from blockbuster trades and free agent gambles to the subtle draft picks that define a team's identity for years to come. It’s a deep, analytical listen that never loses the passion and occasional chaos of the sport itself, offering a unique blend of insider knowledge and genuine fan-level excitement. Tune in for the sharp analysis, stay for the authentic back-and-forth that only two experts with nothing to prove can deliver.
