The 49ers said all year that they would prioritize keeping their own free agents with the team rather than sign a lot of the talent on the open market, and they’ve certainly followed through with that plan this offseason.
After yesterday’s contract with Jaquiski Tartt, the 49ers have now brought back almost all of their most important free agents. Trent Williams, Jason Verrett, Kyle Juszczyk, D.J. Jones, Dontae Johnson, Robbie Gould, and counting have all chosen to stay with the scarlet and gold for at least one more year.
Time will tell if this is the best strategy.
