The 49ers brought in former Rams EDGE Samson Ebukam on the initial wave of NFL free agency, giving him a key role on the defense in 2021.
The 2021 NFL free agency pass-rushing class was awfully deep, which had a double-edge effect on both players and teams.
While a saturated market could be tough for some EDGEs, it also meant the handful of teams with plenty of cap space could go after their guys with relative ease.
The San Francisco 49ers, while nowhere near as bad as some other teams in terms of cap space, were still limited with what they could do on the free-agent market.
