As we inch closer to the start of the new league year, it's time to zero in on the potential changes coming to the San Francisco 49ers roster. A number of players' contracts will expire on March 12 at 1:00 p.m. PST and, at that time, those players will become either exclusive rights, restricted or unrestricted free agents.
Veteran quarterback Joe Flacco intends to play in 2025, marking his 18th NFL season. The 40-year-old signal-caller spent his first 11 seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, who selected him in the first round of the 2008 NFL Draft.
Brant Boyer was announced Monday as the 49ers’ new special teams coordinator, a role he held the past nine season with the Jets, where he overlapped and worked under coach Robert Saleh, who was re-hired Friday as the 49ers’ defensive coordinator.
The San Francisco 49ers have many options in front of them, and trading HC Kyle Shanahan is a possible way for the team to move forward.
Despite the latest two losses coming under head coach Kyle Shanahan, the San Francisco 49ers still believe he is destined for greatness.

The San Francisco 49ers hired former New York Jets special teams coordinator Brant Boyer on Monday to take over a unit that has struggled for years under coach Kyle Shanahan. Shanahan fired special teams coordinator Brian Schneider following a season in which mistakes in the kicking game contributed to a 6-11 record.
The Jets fired Saleh in the middle of the season, naming Jeff Ulbrich as the interim head coach. While they interviewed Ulbrich for the big job, they chose to go a different route, naming former Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn as their new head coach.
A member of Kyle Shanahan's staff at the San Francisco 49ers, declined an interview to become the head coach of the New York Jets for the 2025 NFL season.
The San Francisco 49ers have needs on both sides of the trenches this offseason, so the fact NFL Media draft expert Daniel Jeremiah had them spending the 11th overall pick to bolster one of their fronts is no shock.
