The 49ers have been active during the NFL’s open-negotiating window to retain many of their scheduled unrestricted free agents.
Although they parted ways with team MVP DeForest Buckner in a trade to the Indianapolis Colts for the No. 13 overall pick, they managed to re-sign such defensive players as Arik Armstead, Jimmie Ward and Ronald Blair.
On offense, wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders remains available. But the 49ers restricted running back Jerick McKinnon’s contract to keep him around for another season. The 49ers also re-signed backup offensive linemen Ben Garland and Shon Coleman.
