The 49ers are continuing their reset this offseason. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, San Francisco is releasing edge rusher Leonard Floyd. Floyd, 32, joined the 49ers last March on a two-year deal. He started all 17 games for San Francisco in 2024, recording 8.5 sacks, eight tackles for loss, and 16 quarterback hits.

Without that, the club will save only $1.48 million.A Bears first-round pick in 2016, Floyd has registered 66.5 sacks in his 138 career games. He won Super Bowl LVI with the Rams to cap the 2021 season.
