According to NFL.com’s Jim Trotter, the 49ers were among the winners in NFL free agency because they took ‘care of their own.’
Unlike the New England Patriots, who went on a wild spending spree in the opening days of NFL free agency, the San Francisco 49ers mostly focused on retaining as much of their talent as possible.
Important, considering the Niners had nearly 40 players poised to hit the free-agent market in one form or another in 2021.
