The SF 49ers pulled off an upset with over the Cardinals in Week 16, and these pending free agents upped their 2021 price tag.

The SF 49ers embraced the spoiler role fully in Week 16 by knocking off the playoff-hopeful Arizona Cardinals 20-12 in what turned into a defensive masterpiece by coordinator Robert Saleh and a number of players under his tutelage.

Shocking, considering how much trouble the Niners had with Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins way back in Week 1 this season.
