San Francisco 49ers’ offensive tackle Shon Coleman has officially opted-out of the 2020 season.

The San Francisco 49ers ended the official opt-out period without an incredibly significant player making the decision to sit out of the 2020 season, but two more players joined the list on Thursday.

Veteran wide receiver Travis Benjamin became the first 49ers player to opt-out when his decision was announced late on Wednesday night. And just prior to the 1 p.m. PST deadline on Thursday, two of his teammates joined him.
