The 49ers’ 90-man roster is full, but that doesn’t mean they’re done making tweaks.
While their early free agent moves were relatively minor outside of re-signing Arik Armstead and Jimmie Ward, more free agent moves could be on the way. An additional free agency wave tends to hit once the moves no longer factor into the compensatory pick formula.
The major free agents are mostly signed, but some available players remain who could help the 49ers in 2020. Here are seven free agents San Francisco could bring in to help improve their roster:
TE Delanie Walker
The 49ers could use another versatile playmaker at tight end. Ross Dwelley, sixth-round pick Charlie Woerner and 2019 undrafted free agent Daniel Helm are the only tight ends behind George Kittle on the roster. None of them are particularly dangerous pass catchers. Walker offers the versatility Kyle Shanahan likes from his tight ends while also offering an upgrade in the passing game. His best years are behind him, but defenses would have to account for Walker even if his role is limited.
