This decision, rooted in a new era of fiscal responsibility enforced by ownership, raises questions about the viability of such a strategy for a team aiming for a Super Bowl. A comparison to the NBA's 2016 offseason illustrates the pitfalls of excessive spending, as teams rushed to sign players with inflated contracts that ultimately led to poor roster decisions, making the 49ers' restraint potentially a wiser choice.
