49ers face offseason of difficult roster decisions with veteran players

INDIANAPOLIS -- Coming off a Super Bowl appearance, the 49ers would like a do-over this year with the same players who suited up for the club during the 2019 season.

But for the first time since taking over as the main decision-makers with the organization, general manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan will not be able to keep all of the players they would like to bring back.

The 49ers finally have enough talent on their team where they simply will not be able to afford to retain all of their players this offseason.

“This is the first time that I want every single person on our team back because I think we have a team that can win a Super Bowl,” Shanahan said at the NFL Scouting Combine.
