For Now, Wilhoite is Back in 49ers’ Plans
The past month has been interesting for Michael Wilhoite.Less than a month ago, in early March, several reports surfaced that the 49ers' inside linebacker was being offered in trade. Matt Barrows, who covers the 49ers for the Sacramento Bee, tweeted on March 4 that, according to sources, the team was trying to trade Wilhoite, who started all 16 games in 2014. The reasons were obvious. Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman, two All-Pro inside linebackers, were expected to return from injury, while 2014 rookie sensation Chris Borland was also in the mix.That left Wilhoite – who filled in for Bowman in 2014 – as the odd man out.

Hope will soon be reborn for NFL fans everywhere. In only a couple of days, the pain of a long and disappointing season will have fallen out of sight, and a new energy will emerge. I'm speaking, of course, of the start of NFL free agency, when even fans of bad teams can feel optimistic again. It's a time of excitement as your team can begin working toward getting better.
The San Francisco 49ers came within one play of winning Super Bowl LVIII. And even though they still have perhaps the best roster in football, they do have some holes to fill, especially with several scheduled free agents of their own. And when you factor in what looks to be a tight salary cap situation a year from now, the 49ers have to be smart about what moves they make this offseason.
