So how did San Francisco follow that up on Tuesday? Here are the CliffsNotes version of the team's transactions.
Ronald Blair re-signed
The 49ers re-signed defensive end Ronald Blair, whose 2019 campaign ended early after suffering a torn ACL, to a one-year deal. He was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent. Read More
Jerick McKinnon restructures contract
The 49ers freed up some salary cap space after restructuring the contract of running back Jerick McKinnon. He initially had two years left in his deal with a salary cap hit of $8.55 million in 2020. Under the new terms, McKinnon will make the veteran minimum plus roster bonuses this year, with 2021 being eliminated from the contract. Read More
Matt Breida and Kendrick Bourne tendered
Running back Matt Breida and wide receiver Kendrick Bourne each received second-round tenders. That means the two players are free to negotiate with other teams. The 49ers, however, would have the right to match any competing offer, and should they fail to do so, San Francisco would receive a second-round pick for each departing player.

Levine Toilolo not expected to return
Tight end Levine Toilolo plans to sign a two-year, $6.2 million deal with the New York Giants. Read More
NFL teams can officially begin signing free agents on Wednesday at 1 p.m. PT.
