On the second Tuesday after the draft, which is May 7, NFL teams can sign unrestricted free agents and they won’t count against a team’s compensatory draft-pick formula. It used to be June 1, but this now incentivizes teams to sign veteran free agents so that they can participate in OTAs and the offseason program. It used to be free agents were waiting around until a week or so before training camp to get a phone call.
That had me wondering, could the San Francisco 49ers add any depth during this next wave of free agency?
