The SF 49ers may see sizable turnover in their secondary in 2021, meaning these five pending free-agent cornerbacks should be targets.

Despite missing a number of their key defensive players this season, the SF 49ers have still managed to boast a top-five pass defense through 11 weeks of regular-season football.

That’s pretty exemplary when considering there hasn’t been much of a pass rush, and the defense has been without three of its top veteran defensive backs — Richard Sherman, Jaquiski Tartt and K’Waun Williams — for extended periods of time.
