"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."
"Deebo Samuel, traded away a year ago, technically could return to the 49ers as a free agent next week. The team also may want no part of a reunion with the 2021 All-Pro, even as their wide receiver unit is facing uncertainty with Jauan Jennings, a pending free agent, and Brandon Aiyuk, last season's missing man."
"The 49ers, under coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch, have not shied away from bringing back castoffs. 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."
The 49ers face potential roster changes as free agency begins, with several former players potentially available for reunion. Deebo Samuel, traded away a year ago, could return despite uncertainty surrounding current receivers Jauan Jennings and Brandon Aiyuk. The team's defensive line ranked among the NFL's least productive units last season, creating opportunities to add defensive linemen. General manager John Lynch indicated openness to bringing back former players or acquiring new talent through free agency and the draft. The 49ers have a history of successful reunions, including recent returns by Kendrick Bourne, Clelin Ferrell, and Jeff Wilson Jr. Free agency officially begins March 11.
