NFL roster cuts: Best players available for 49ers

Related Topics: Tight end

A lot of good players are available for the 49ers, who get second pick on the waiver wire. (Veterans of four or more years become free agents immediately, though.)

It’s notable that the team chose youth and growth potential over veteran expertise time after time, so temper your enthusiasm for the wily, expensive veterans often cut this time of year. Even though the Niners have tons of money, they are betting on the future.

The one exception there might be the offensive line, which happens to be the team’s biggest need. Not only do you want to protect your quarterbacks from injury, but the whole process of installing Kyle Shanahan’s offense will collapse if the line can’t execute the outside zone play.
