Levi Onwuzurike emerges as ideal 49ers free agent

NFL free agency starts next week, allowing veteran players to sign with new teams. The San Francisco 49ers are not expected to spend heavily due to salary cap issues and aim to get younger this offseason. Pro Football Focus has identified defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike as a strong fit for the 49ers. He had a notable season with the Lions, producing 47 pressures and a solid run-defense grade. The 49ers' main focus is securing a contract extension for quarterback Brock Purdy. Financial constraints, including a dead cap hit from trading Deebo Samuel, may limit their ability to sign Onwuzurike.
