The NFL season is winding down which means some players

have contracts ending. Some players will get franchised or extended but others will be hitting the open market. We’ll take a look at each position and see if any hopeful players would be a good fit for the San Francisco 49ers. Two things are certain: the 49ers have the tackle position locked down for 2019 Womens Arik Armstead Jersey , but in 2020, things might not be so concrete. They have one starter in Mike McGlinchey. A starter whom if continues to improve, could be one of the league’s best On the other side of the line, they have Joe Staley, ever so fateful, but Father Time is unbeaten and the 49ers would be wise to have a solution in place to protect Jimmy Garoppolo’s blind side. For that, it may make more sense to look to the NFL Draft, but the 49ers don’t have many picks this year. A younger player to develop does make more sense, however. No one knows when Staley will start to plateau or decide to bow out of it for good, so that would leave whoever they brought as a capable backup Youth Mike Person Jersey , able to slot in at Staley’s position. In this situation, a good swing tackle would be ideal. Perhaps someone to play guard in 2019 while preparing to be the successor to Staley or replace McGlinchey when the latter moves to the other side. So if you want a free agent backup, here’s two things to look at from a free agent perspective. The first is age which, the youngest you will find is 25. The second is a system fit with Kyle Shanahan’s offense. The first name that might be worth a look is Donovan Smith. Goes against what I just said about system fits, but he’s young and has shown some flashes. Maybe a few years studying is what the doctor ordered for his career? Our friends at Bucs Nation have a nice write up of Smith’s progress. The system fit concerns me, and he’s given up some bad pressures, but maybe worth a look. Another player to look at is Cincinnati Bengals tackle Bobby Hart. This is not a guy I’d be looking to spell and take a starting position in the future, but he’d be good for insurance if something bad happened to Staley. Again, Hart isn’t someone I’d put confidence in to take the starting job, and he started all his games with the Bengals—meaning he’d want to start somewhere http://www.the49ersfootballauthentic.com/laken-tomlinson-jersey-authentic , but it’s worth a look. Finally another name to look at is a familiar face. Trent Brown. The guy was traded to the New England Patriots after McGlinchey was selected by the Niners in 2018 and will now be appearing in a Super Bowl the very same season. If the Patriots don’t sign Brown long-term, someone else will. He’s too good to ride on the bench. While it’d be rather interesting to see him return and replace Staley or McGlinchey (that would be so odd), the chances of that happening are slim. Brown’s pass protection is second to none but his run blocking is on the other end of the spectrum. While the 49ers lost pass protection with McGlinchey, they gained a huge upgrade in run blocking and overall, a much more balanced player. Still, if you think Brown should come back, he’s available. Here’s your free agent offensive tackles per Over the Cap. Things could change with franchise tags and deals, but all of the below have contracts expiring.Would you be interested in any of these tackles, coming to Santa Clara? Free Agent Offensive TacklesNamePostionTeamAgeNamePostionTeamAge The San Francisco 49ers have some free agency decisions to make, but one of the more interesting is running back and special teams standout Raheem Mostert. He is a restricted free agent Youth Adrian Colbert Jersey , which affords the 49ers some control, but his particular situation raises a question for the team.Mostert entered the NFL in 2015 as an undrafted free agent. A player accrues a season toward free agency if he is on full pay status for six or more regular season games. In his rookie season, he was waived twice, but appeared in ten games between three teams. He appeared in only three games in 2016, but then appeared in 11 games in 2017 and nine in 2018. Each of the last two seasons ended with him placed on injured reserve.The 49ers will be able to place a tender on Mostert, although they can also choose to non-tender him and make him an unrestricted free agent. Mostert has been a special teams standout the past two seasons and showed some serious skill as a running back this past season, so they are almost certain to tender him if they don’t agree to a multi-year extension before then.Where it gets interesting is how much the 49ers are willing to tender Mostert. They can use a first round tender, a second round tender, or an original round tender. If they use a tender, then a team signs him to an offer sheet and the 49ers don’t want to match it Womens Mike McGlinchey Jersey , the first and second round tenders result in that draft pick as compensation. Since Mostert entered the NFL as a UDFA, an original round tender is simply a right of first refusal on the contract.If the 49ers place a first round tender on Mostert, the one-year deal that comes with it is for $4,429,000. A second round tender nets a one-year contract for $3,110,000. An original round tender nets a one-year contract for $2,035,000. The 49ers paid Mostert $705,000 for the 2018 season.Mostert is one of the best special teams players in the NFL Womens Fred Warner Jersey , but this past year we also saw him emerge as an intriguing presence in the ground game. From Week 6 to Week 9, he rushed for 250 yards, averaging 8.9 yards per carry. He broke his arm in that last game, but it was an unexpected development seeing him emerge the way he did.Running back value has been decreasing in recent years, so it is possible there won’t be much of a market for Mostert. And yet, placing the original round tender opens the market at least a little bit. The 49ers tender decision might tell us something about how they view Mostert in the bigger picture. Jerick McKinnon and Matt Breida are atop the running back depth chart, but maybe this turns into more of a trio of backs in 2019. At the very least, they could view Mostert as a very capable backup worth bringing back for a sizable pay raise.
