What's next for the San Francisco 49ers as free agency begins to pivot towards the second phase of names?
The San Francisco 49ers were among the quieter teams to start free agency on Wednesday. They signed defensive tackle Ian Williams to a 5-year contract, and also added quarterback Thad Lewis on a one-year deal. They are rumored to be interested in CB Sean Smith and WR Marc Mariani, and are expected to bring in OG Ted Larsen and RB Lance Dunbar for visits.
The team will eventually sign players, but the question is who. Trent Baalke has never been one to spend a ton of money in free agency, so it is not surprising to see things start so quietly this year.
