The San Francisco 49ers will likely part ways with at least one key member from the core of their teams that went to two Super Bowls and four NFC championship games in five years. The 49ers are expected to trade wide receiver Deebo Samuel this offseason and fullback Kyle Juszczyk could become a cap casualty as the team looks to rebound from a disappointing 6-11 season in 2024 and retool to become contenders again.
One franchise cornerstone the 49ers are not looking to part ways with is tight end George Kittle. Kittle has been with the 49ers since 2017, the year John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan took over the franchise, and has been one of the key players to the team's success over the past half decade.
