San Francisco 49ers 2025 free agency tracker: Latest on Kyle Juszczyk, Luke Farrell and more

The San Francisco 49ers lost more players than they added during the first day of free agency (legal tampering) on Monday. Following reports that perennial Pro Bowl fullback Kyle Juszczyk would be released prior to the start of the upcoming league season, a number of other 49ers players signed free-agency contracts with other teams.

Due to his range of abilities, Juszczyk has been a vital component of the Niners' offensive scheme since he joined the team in 2017. He will now be looking to sign with another team ahead of the 2025 season.

Several other players have reportedly accepted contract offers from other teams, including defensive end Talanoa Hufanga and linebacker Dre Greenlaw, who have both agreed to join the Denver Broncos.

Cornerback Charvarius Ward has agreed with the Indianapolis Colts. Offensive tackle Jaylon Moore and running back Elijah Mitchell have agreed with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Guard Aaron Banks has reportedly accepted a contract offer from the Green Bay Packers. Quarterback Joshua Dobbs has agreed to sign with the New England Patriots.

The new league year commences on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET, at which point free-agent signings may be officially recognized.

The 49ers have experienced a difficult beginning to the offseason, highlighted by the significant trade of wide receiver Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders. After an underwhelming 6-11 2024 season, it remains to be seen which big moves the team will make this offseason.

Let's examine the 49ers' current offseason moves in light of the numerous reports that the team is trying to control its spending this offseason.
