In what was easily their biggest D-line makeover since coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch arrived in 2017, the Niners agreed to deals with three defensive linemen -- ends Leonard Floyd and Yetur Gross-Matos and tackle Jordan Elliott -- from the outside, traded for another (tackle Maliek Collins) and re-signed one of their own ( Kevin Givens).
In doing so, San Francisco didn't just revamp the defensive line. The Niners also rebuilt the middle class of a roster that has become increasingly top heavy in recent years, as none of the added players will make more than $10 million annually.
