Of those teams, none have more cap space than the 49ers, who are estimated to have over $80 million. The coaching staff is getting a late start thanks to the delayed hiring of head coach Kyle Shanahan, who is leading the research on free agents while general manager John Lynch focuses on the draft.
Mitchell was a third-round selection out of Arizona in the 2010 NFL Draft and played for the Houston Texans prior to his time in Miami.

No team in 49ers franchise history had given up more rushing yards than the 2016 squad.
