INDIANAPOLPIS -- John Lynch smiled today when he was told 49ers fans have been conditioned to take a nap during the first day of free agency.
His advice for March 9?
Stay awake,” the 49ers general manager said.
With a long list of roster needs, the NFL’s second-most salary cap space, and a new front-office regime, the 49ers appear poised to change their conservative approach to free agency this season. Last year, they only signed one starter, guard Zane Beadles, and their only other free-agent addition was third-string quarterback Thad Lewis.
