It’s highly unlikely the San Francisco 49ers will turn in a blockbuster signing in 2020 NFL free agency this offseason.
For starters, that hasn’t exactly been the method of operation for general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan. They’ve traded for big-name players, yes. But as far as dishing out top dollar or free agents, it hasn’t happened to a great extent outside some of the notable deals previously given to players like fullback Kyle Juszczyk and linebacker Kwon Alexander.
Even if the Niners were aggressive on the free-agent market before, their projected salary cap space of just under $13 million for 2020 means they’ll have only limited resources to sign any of those big-name players set to hit free agency.
