"We've got opportunities to improve ourselves by either bringing back some of the players who have been with us, or go find new guys that fit who we want to be and what we want to be both in free agency and in the draft. Lynch said at last week's NFL scouting combine, indicating the team's flexible approach to roster construction."
"Last season, wide receiver Kendrick Bourne and defensive end Clelin Ferrell returned, as did defensive coordinator Robert Saleh for his second stint and running back Jeff Wilson Jr. for a training camp spell. Others who have made or attempted second stints include wide receiver Mohamed Sanu, defensive end Kerry Hyder Jr., and cornerback Jason Verrett."
The 49ers enter free agency with potential opportunities to address roster needs, particularly at wide receiver and defensive end. Deebo Samuel, traded away last year, could technically return as a free agent, though the team may not pursue a reunion. The 49ers have a history of bringing back former players under coach Kyle Shanahan and GM John Lynch, including recent returns like Kendrick Bourne, Clelin Ferrell, and Jeff Wilson Jr. Multiple ex-49ers will hit the open market next week, including defensive linemen needed to improve one of the NFL's least productive units. Free agency talks begin Monday, with contracts signable starting March 11.
