The Los Angeles Rams’ NFC West Rival, the San Francisco 49ers, will have tough decisions to make in the offseason regarding key players. To show, the 49ers will have to decide if they want to keep their core players from their Super Bowl run in the 2023-2024 season. Or they can reload with cheaper and younger options.
The 49ers could move off of running back Christan McCaffrey, tight end George Kittle, and star wide receiver Deebo Samuel. Of course, the 49ers’ season has been disappointing from their standpoint.
Major injuries and star players not playing their best football have the team on the outside, looking in with a 6-7 record. Still, the 49ers can make a run to the playoffs. But it will have to be without running back Christan McCaffrey and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. Both players are out for the season. Previously, Aiyuk held out this past offseason but returned after signing an extension. That is one player that will likely be back for the 49ers.
Of major concern for the 49ers is whether they will sign quarterback Brock Purdy to an extension after the season. Purdy has not played his best football in 2024, but he has dealt with injuries all season as well.
In the Kyle Shanahan era in San Francisco, they have not given any quarterback top-tier quarterback money.
