As things currently stand, the 49ers are scheduled to have 28 players reach free agency. That group includes 21 unrestricted free agents, six restricted free agents, and one exclusive-rights free agent.
Below is a breakdown of the different free-agent classifications, followed by a complete list of the 49ers players set to hit the open market in March.
Unrestricted free agent (UFA): A player with an expiring contract who has accrued four or more seasons and is free to negotiate with any team once the new league year begins.
Restricted free agent (RFA): A player with an expiring contract who has three accrued seasons. The original team can match any offer the player receives from another team.
