The San Francisco 49ers made significant moves during the first week of NFL free agency, shaking up their roster as they head into the 2024 season. Notably, wide receiver Deebo Samuel was traded to the Washington Commanders for a fifth-round draft pick, a bold move as the team looks to reshuffle its offensive weapons.

On the other hand, running back Jordan Mason received a second-round restricted tender before being traded to the Minnesota Vikings alongside a sixth-round pick. The 49ers also faced notable losses, with defensive lineman Javon Hargrave signing with the Vikings, cornerback Charvarius Ward heading to the Colts, and linebacker Dre Greenlaw joining the Broncos. Furthermore, several free agents departed, including quarterbacks Josh Dobbs and Brandon Allen, both finding new homes in New England and Tennessee, respectively.

Yet, not all news was loss; the 49ers managed to acquire several free agents, including quarterback Mac Jones and wide receiver Demarcus Robinson, aiming to strengthen their depth chart. As the dust settles on this volatile free agency period, the 49ers are clearly striving to maintain competitiveness in their division.
