The SF 49ers face a lot of tough decisions in NFL free agency this offseason, but these four less-known names should be kept in 2021.

The SF 49ers have a total of 40 pending free agents, in one variety or another, who are scheduled for an uncertain future beyond this season.

A diminishing salary cap getting as low as $175 million, combined with the fact the Niners already have $157 million committed to players next season, will make for some tough challenges for general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan.
