Back in 2017, the San Francisco 49ers had the luxury of some lucrative spending and bringing aboard some high-profile free agents in what turned out to be a massive roster overhaul following a 2-14 season the year before.
Now, many of those players who either signed as free agents or were selected by the team in that year’s NFL Draft are hitting contract years.
And with the Niners coming off a Super Bowl appearance last February, it won’t be shocking a lot of those players will expect to be paid accordingly when their current deals are up.
