John Lynch addresses 49ers' lopsided offseason full of free agency losses

It appears there's a method to the San Francisco 49ers' offseason madness.

After a six-year window of tweaking and adjusting every offseason to try and roster a Super Bowl contender, the 49ers have let go of the rope in 2025 and allowed a mass exodus of free agents without bringing in many replacements. Their high-profile losses include linebacker Dre Greenlaw, All-Pro cornerback Charvarius Ward and All-Pro safety Talanoa Hufanga. They've also outright released starters like defensive linemen Javon Hargrave, Leonard Floyd and Maliek Collins.

The tumultuous offseason comes after a disappointing 6-11 finish to the 2024 season for San Francisco.
