The San Francisco 49ers weren’t huge players on the NFL free agency market, but they weren’t expected to be either.
With the biggest priority being a contract extension for defensive tackle Arik Armstead and an upcoming extension for tight end George Kittle, the Niners’ main move was to ship star defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the Indianapolis Colts for pick No. 13 in the 2020 NFL Draft.
The 49ers, however, have lost some starters on the offensive front. Wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders didn’t stay long with San Francisco after choosing to sign with the New Orleans Saints during the offseason, while starting right guard Mike Person was released for salary cap reasons.
