The new league year begins today, and with that comes the start of free agency. Teams have had since Monday to begin negotiations with pending free agents, but at 1 PM (PT), they can officially begin signing those players.
Who have the San Francisco 49ers reportedly been interested in?

Early this morning, it was learned that the 49ers had
re-signed scheduled free agent NT Ian Williams to a five-year contract. Just over two weeks ago, the team
re-signed TE Garrett Celek to a four-year deal. As for G Alex Boone, who is included on the list, he has
agreed to sign with the Minnesota Vikings.
Below is a list of the 49ers' unrestricted free agents that are scheduled to become available to any NFL team once the clock hits 1 PM.
Anquan Boldin, WR
35 years old
Despite having the fewest receiving yards of his career since 2004, Boldin still led the 49ers in receiving in 2015. He ranks 17th all-time in receiving yards and 12th all-time in receptions.
Alex Boone, G
28 years old
Seeking a new contract, Boone held out of the 49ers' 2014 training camp. He was recently rated by
Pro Football Focus as the fifth best guard available in free agency. He will reportedly sign with the Vikings.
Reggie Bush, RB
31 years old
The injury-prone Bush was brought in to be a change-of-pace back for starter Carlos Hyde. Bush would play in only five games for the 49ers in 2015 and ended the season on IR after an injury in St. Louis.
Phil Dawson, K
41 years old
Yesterday, the Indianapolis Colts announced a contract extension with K Adam Vinatieri, who is 43. Dawson completed 89 percent of his field goal attempts in 2015 missing only three. That's just one more miss than Vinatieri.
Below is the 49ers' lone restricted free agent that will become available.
Tony Jerod-Eddie, DL
25 years old
The 49ers did not include Jerod-Eddie on Tuesday when they announced their qualifying offers for LB Michael Wilhoite and G Jordan Devey because they are
working on a new deal for him and want to retain his services.

49ers' Kentavius Street won't be fined for hit on Drew Brees, the penalty 'stunk,' says John Lynch
By David Bonilla
Nov 20, 2020
General manager John Lynch revealed that San Francisco 49ers defensive end Kentavius Street won't be fined for his hit on New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees. This past weekend, the 49ers defender blew through Saints rookie guard Cesar Ruiz on his way to leveling the quarterback, only to draw a roughing-the-passer penalty.
Brees ended up leaving the game with what was later diagnosed as a collapsed lung and fractured ribs.
Any fan who watched the play saw a properly executed sack from Street. However, the 6-foot-2 and 290-pound defender packs a wallop with each hit.
"[The penalty was] a shame for a couple of reasons," Lynch said Wednesday on KNBR's Tolbert, Krueger & Brooks show. "Number one, I think it was a very pivotal point in

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch joined KNBR this morning, as he does every other week, and provided several updates to the team's receivers group. The 49ers were undermanned last week against the Green Bay Packers, which contributed to the 34-17 defeat.
Quick summary:
Deebo Samuel will try to practice on Friday. His status remains uncertain.
Kendrick Bourne will travel with the 49ers this weekend.
Trent Taylor and River Cracraft are on track to play.
Lynch started with Samuel, who remains a long shot to play this weekend against the New Orleans Saints.
"I think the final challenge or opportunity for Deebo to show that he can go is out here on Friday," Lynch said on the Murph & Mac
49ers-Saints: Kyle Shanahan says RB JaMycal Hasty broke his collarbone, provides other injury updates
By David Bonilla

San Francisco 49ers running back JaMycal Hasty went down with an injury in the fourth quarter of today's loss to the New Orleans Saints. He later left for the locker room to be examined.
The injury left the 49ers with Jerick McKinnon and Austin Walter as the only available running backs.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke with reporters after the game and said that Hasty suffered a broken collarbone. That means he'll probably miss a significant amount of time and will likely become yet another 49ers player to land on injured reserve.
Shanahan is hoping to get running backs Raheem Mostert (ankle) and Tevin Coleman (knee) back after the bye week.
"I'm hoping they are," Shanahan said of their chances to return in time for the 49ers' Week 12
