While the 49ers faced some tough challenges in NFL free agency this year, the early forecast for 2022 creates even more obstacles.

The San Francisco 49ers had nearly 40 players hitting some form of NFL free agency heading into the 2021 offseason. Yet it’s pretty amazing the front office was able to re-sign a core number of key contributors, namely players like left tackle Trent Williams, fullback Kyle Juszczyk, safety Jaquiski Tartt, and cornerbacks Jason Verrett and K’Waun Williams.
