The SF 49ers don’t have the resources to be big spenders in NFL free agency this offseason, but these cheaper options could still be targets.
Barring some major roster jockeying this offseason, general manager John Lynch and the SF 49ers aren’t going to be big-time players on the free-agent market.
Much of this is due to the lowering 2021 salary cap, which is expected to drop to approximately $180 million from the near-$200 million it was at in 2020.
