Day two of the legal tampering period in the NFL was filled with signings and players re-signing. The 49ers had 25 players enter free agency (four restricted), and the players who have returned and departed paint a picture of the remaining options.
Newly acquired:
Javon Hargrave, DT
The best free agent available landed with the 49ers within hours of legal tampering opening. A need for the 49ers instantly became a strength and affords the 49ers flexibility in the draft to address other needs or choose the best player available.
Sam Darnold, QB
Signing a veteran QB was a certainty, given Brock Purdy’s timeline to return from injury.
