Imminent changes are coming to the 49ers’ defensive line, and one player it seems they may struggle to retain is defensive end Samson Ebukam.
Signed to a two-year deal ahead of the 2021 season, Ebukam is not one of the leading lights on one of the better defensive fronts in the NFL but has provided dependable play from his starting defensive end spot across the last two campaigns.
Ebukam has tallied 9.5 sacks during his time with San Francisco, decent production on a defensive line that rotates significantly and employs Defensive Player of the Year Nick Bosa as its predominant pass-rushing force.
