It’s been a different offseason than many expected for the San Francisco 49ers, as they let a large contingent of players walk in free agency, while making minimal additions to the roster thus far.
Now, it’s on to the draft for the 49ers, who shed a good amount of salary this offseason, lowering their spend for the first time in a few years as they reset ahead of the upcoming season.
However, as San Francisco pivots, the expectations remain the same for head coach Kyle Shanahan, only in a different way.
“I don’t think [the cuts in spending] is about lowering expectations,” Shanahan said on Tuesday at the annual meetings in Florida.
