Any free agents the San Francisco 49ers sign now won't count toward the compensatory pick formula for next year, and general manager John Lynch hinted after the 2025 NFL Draft that the team may not be done reshaping its roster for the upcoming season.

San Francisco 49ers safety Malik Mustapha re-injured a torn ligament in his right knee last season and could miss the start of the 2025 campaign.
