Kawakami: The 49ers are acting like this era is over. Maybe it’s time to believe them (paywall)
“My working premise is that the 49ers went into this offseason with a strong commitment to cutting down their cash outlay this season and felt like they could do it and still keep most of their roster together.

I’m not sure how else you can explain cutting Floyd before losing out on Joey Bosa.
