The 49ers have 28 impending free agents, including a handful of impact players who played pivotal roles in the 49ers' deep playoff run this past season. In addition, there are a few players slated to hit free agency who would be very difficult for the 49ers to replace, but none more so than safety Jaquiski Tartt.
That’s no slight to players like Laken Tomlinson or DJ Jones, but what ultimately separates Tartt from those two is no clear replacement for what Tartt brings to the 49ers secondary. At least with Tomlinson and Jones, there are viable options either already on the roster or on the free-agent market.
