Will the 49ers remain aggressive in free agency?
There is likely a growing sense of urgency inside the San Francisco 49ers organization, and it has nothing to do with the outside perception that the organization's championship window is set to slam shut. That notion might be exaggerated. Throughout head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch's tenure, the 49ers have been remarkably well-run, making it unwise to assume any sudden downfall.

It's been less than one week since the free agency rumors started swirling. The San Francisco 49ers have been busy, from restructuring contracts to seeing some of their own sign elsewhere to bringing aboard new players. They even pulled off a trade.

The San Francisco 49ers likely aren't finished fortifying their defense and have reportedly expressed interest in bolstering their defensive backfield. If they require assistance making a significant move, one 49ers player is prepared to lend a helping hand.
Last week, the Buffalo Bills released All-Pro cornerback Tre'Davious White, who appears to be an ideal fit for San Francisco's needs opposite Charvarius Ward. Over the weekend, Ward took to social media to reveal that he and White share the same agent and that he is willing to nudge the free-agent defensive back in the right direction.
Ward described White as a "hand in glove
