Following a disappointing 6-11 season in 2024, the San Francisco 49ers will look a lot different heading into the 2025 campaign, as the team parted ways with a plethora of players, a list that includes offensive guard Aaron Banks (Packers), cornerback Charvarius Ward (Colts), defensive tackle Javon Hargrave (Vikings), safety Talanoa Hufanga (Broncos), linebacker Dre Greenlaw (Broncos), and linebacker Leonard Floyd (Falcons), among others.
And that's not to mention the trade of wideout Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders.
Samuel was set to be the biggest name on the list of 49ers players set to hit free agency in 2026, but that's obviously no longer the case.
