According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Detroit Lions have reached an agreement with free agent cornerback Emmanuel Moseley on a one-year, $6 million deal. That's a significant blow to the San Francisco 49ers' backfield. Moseley started 16 games for the Niners over the past two seasons.
The 49ers were interested in bringing Moseley back following his injury-shortened season. However, the defensive back
reportedly earned some interest in the free agency market.
"
He's a guy we'd have interest in bringing back because of the way he plays, but also what he stands for," general manager John Lynch said at the team's end-of-season press conference on February 1. "He's one of us and we'd sure like to have him back."

San Francisco signed Moseley (5-11, 190) as an undrafted free agent out of Tennessee in 2018. He registered 22 tackles, a tackle for a loss, five passes defensed, an interception, and a touchdown before suffering a torn ACL during Week 5 this past season and landing on injured reserve, per
Pro Football Reference.
The cornerback is expected to be 100 percent healthy in time for training camp.
"E-man's doing really well," Lynch said. "... Most of the time, unless somebody's hit a complication, you typically hear (they're) doing really well, a little bit ahead of schedule, because these guys are elite athletes. And if you know Mose at all, his commitment to the process is going to be elite, and that's what he's done."
Moseley, 26, has recorded 152 tackles, 33 passes defensed, four interceptions, and a touchdown in 45 game appearances (33 starts) through his five NFL seasons.

Why John Lynch believes 49ers QB Brock Purdy is the "real deal"
By Rohan Chakravarthi

Over the offseason, there has been significant talk surrounding the San Francisco 49ers and their quarterbacks, especially after the team signed Sam Darnold in free agency, providing them three capable options with starting experience in the former Carolina Panther, Brock Purdy, and Trey Lance.
Purdy is evidently the leader in the clubhouse, as stated by general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan several times this offseason, but many have pointed out his flaws, such as the inability to make throws downfield, as a reason why one of the other quarterbacks could win over the starting job with a strong performance in organized team activities(OTAs) and training camp.
What do the 49ers believe about Purdy's downfield ability?

49ers OL Spencer Burford poised for breakout season in Year 2
By Rohan Chakravarthi

On a team with as much talent as the San Francisco 49ers, there isn't always much space for rookies to carve out an immediate role, let alone be a starter.
That's why it was impressive that rookie Spencer Burford not only shined early, separating himself during organized team activities(OTAs), but took a starting role as a fourth-rounder.
However, Burford split in-season reps with veteran Daniel Brunskill in a season with ups and downs, questioning the 49ers' belief in his play as a rookie.
But, with Brunskill off to the Tennessee Titans in free agency, the path is clear for the UTSA product to carve out an everyday role in a potential breakout season for Burford during his second season.
