Free agency is almost upon the NFL, and the rumor mill has begun to buzz as teams begin tagging, trading and releasing players to shape their rosters for the upcoming season. The San Francisco 49ers are no exception to this rule.

It’s that time of year again people, the time for rumor, hinting, innuendo and dreams.

Some of you want an article full of facts, thoughtful analysis and grounded in reality.

You will not find that here.

The San Francisco 49ers have the fifth most cap space in the NFC (narrowly trailing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers), a culture that supposedly has players calling their agents to play for them and the largest amount of expectation since the Jim Harbaugh era.

So, as you can expect, rumors have popped up all over, and you’ll find them here.
