Arik Armstead and Jimmie Ward are staying with the 49ers. DeForest Buckner and Emmanuel Sanders are leaving.
The first wave of NFL free agency has come and gone. The 49ers’ next significant additions likely will be coming in the draft.
As a result of the trade that sent Buckner to the Indianapolis Colts, the 49ers now own the Nos. 13 and 31 picks in the first round.
What happens next? Thanks to those on Twitter who submitted questions for this edition of 49ers Mailbag:
Yes, I do.
I think the 49ers will ask all the players in their rotation to take on a little more playing time to compensate for the loss of their most-used defensive lineman last season.
