"I want him to go be somewhere where he can be the guy," 49ers star linebacker Fred Warner said in January. "For as long as he's here, unfortunately, I'm here. He wants to go be the Fred Warner somewhere else. Not to toot my own horn, but he certainly wants to go be the guy. And I want that for him. He deserves it. He's capable of it."
San Francisco signed Al-Shaair (6-2, 228) as an undrafted free agent out of Florida Atlantic in 2019. He registered 44 tackles, a tackle for a loss, and a quarterback hit through 12 game appearances (nine starts) with the 49ers last season, per Pro Football Reference.
"Going on to the next step, next phase in my life, so definitely grateful for all the memories I've got here, but excited for the future too," Al-Shaair said during a radio interview in February.
Al-Shaair, 25, has recorded 184 tackles, two sacks, six passes defensed, two interceptions, and two forced fumbles in 56 game appearances (31 starts) through his four NFL seasons.
