49ers Rumors: Eric Kendricks Lands Contract; Latest Salary Cap amid NFL Free Agency

After hiring Brandon Staley as an assistant on his staff for the 2024 season, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan is bringing in one of his former linebackers in free agency.

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the 49ers have agreed to a one-year deal with Eric Kendricks to provide depth with Dre Greenlaw recovering from a torn Achilles suffered in the Super Bowl.

It's yet another smaller move for a San Francisco team that entered the offseason without a lot of financial wiggle room. The reigning NFC champs are currently $6.4 million under the $255.
