Following another deep playoff run that saw the 49ers fall short of a championship against the Kansas City Chiefs, the team enters 2024 with the best roster in the NFL and eyes on finishing the job. Year after year under Kyle Shanahan, the 49ers have won many games and played football well into January but have fallen short of the ultimate prize.
Fred Warner, Nick Bosa, Trent Williams, Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and Brock Purdy return as the best core in the NFL. Aiyuk is waiting for a contract extension but is still under the team's control.
