SANTA CLARA – The 49ers could be closing in on surprising signings to enhance Jimmy Garoppolo’s first full season and give their $137.5-million, prized quarterback a better supporting cast.
Marquee additions at offensive line and running back apparently are still in play heading into Wednesday’s 1 p.m. kickoff of free agency’s signing period.
The 49ers missed out on one potential target late Monday night with the report speedy wide receiver Allen Robinson intends to sign with the Chicago Bears, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Job candidates linked to the 49ers by various reports include guard Andrew Norwell and running back Jerrick McKinnon.
