The SF 49ers round out their final six games of 2020, yet these last games mean the most for these four players who are under pressure.

There’s likely to be a lot of turnover for the SF 49ers in 2021, both by the way of free-agent departures and general manager John Lynch moving on from players who are no longer deemed fit for the team’s long-term future.

In a way, Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan have already kickstarted this process, waiving wide receiver Dante Pettis and trading away linebacker Kwon Alexander earlier this season.
