Must Nick Bosa stand alone on the 49ers’ defensive front or will they use free agency to replenish that unit?
SANTA CLARA — It’s become an annual task for the 49ers: Find a defensive end to line up on the flank opposite Nick Bosa.
Before Bosa arrived as a 2019 rookie, the 49ers made a pricey move to trade for and sign Dee Ford as their other starting defensive end, and that tandem helped them reach the Super Bowl. But Ford’s career was derailed by a back issue, and the 49ers have forged ahead by deploying flash-in-the-pan edge rushers opposite Bosa, who won NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors last season for leading the 49ers’ defense within a win of the Super Bowl.
Free agency comes with perils, and the 49ers haven’t thrived in signing defensive ends with this regime, such as Jeremiah Attaochu , Ford , Kerry Hyder Jr. , Samson Ebukam , Arden Key and Kemoko Turay .Defensive tackles: Arik Armstead, Javon Kinlaw, Kalia Davis Armstead had no sacks in a nine-game, injury-marred regular season, but he had two in the playoffs, so that plus his captainship and versatility could keep him aboard with a high salary . Kinlaw’s career is again at a crossroads because of knee issues, and Davis is looking to start his career after spending his rookie year recovering from knee reconstruction.Defensive tackles: Hassan Ridgeway, Maurice Hurst, T.Y.
