The San Francisco 49ers had a disappointing season in 2018, with expectations going south following Jimmy Garoppolo’s torn ACL. The team welcomes him and Jerick McKinnon back from rehab, and head into the offseason with expectations climbing for 2019. The Los Angeles Rams are still the team to beat in the NFC West, but if the 49ers can stay healthy, they could push Seattle for a wild card berth.
The team did not have many big decisions to make this offseason, a year removed from giving Jimmy Garoppolo a contract extension. They franchised Robbie Gould and have extended right guard Mike Person. They’re not sexy moves, but they lock in a pair of starters as the team prepares for a potentially busy free agency and draft period.
Free agency gets going on March 13th. The 49ers enter free agency with roughly $67 million in cap space and holes to fill. We’ve heard Antonio Brown and Odell Beckham Jr. rumors, but the team has plenty of other areas to use the cap space. And this all leads up to a chance for a serious impact player with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
We’ll be covering all the offseason transactions that build the final roster, but this will serve as a clearinghouse for all of the transactions. We’ll link to all of them, and it will be pinned to the front page. Feel free to bookmark this if you want, as it will serve as a catch-up if you miss something along the way. I’ll updated it with each transaction, and include an updated time stamp.
