The 49ers don\u2019t have a real shot at making the playoffs now and that means the 2025 offseason is getting an early start.<\/p>\n<p>For 2023 Pro Bowl CB\u00a0Charvarius Ward, the future is still murky despite the free agency window being months away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s been a dark cloud over us all season,\u201d Ward said to\u00a0The Athletic\u00a0reporter Michael Silver. \u201cThis will be a good offseason for this team to regroup, refocus and try to rekindle the spark\u2026 I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m gonna be back, but I know this team is still gonna be great, with or without me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not a commitment either way, but the lack of clarity at this point in the season points toward Ward testing the waters in free agency. Ward is one of several pending free agents for\u00a0the 49ers, and he may be the most important of the bunch.<\/p>\n<h2>San Francisco\u2019s Likely Free Agents in 2025<\/h2>\n<p>According to\u00a0Spotrac, the Niners have 22 players that are set to be free agents. While RB\u00a0Jordan Mason\u00a0is a restricted free agent and TE Jake Tonges has the exclusive rights tag, there are 20 players that will be completely free to sign elsewhere if they don\u2019t sign contract extensions.<\/p>\n<p>Ward is the highest-paid player that could potentially leave, followed by LB\u00a0Dre Greenlaw. Safety\u00a0Talanoa Hufanga is the only other consistent defensive starter that could hit the market. making less than The former USC Trojan is still on his rookie deal and is making less than $1 million this season.<\/p>\n<p>Offensively, most of the key pieces are locked up. However, guard\u00a0Aaron Banks\u00a0has been a standout player but is yet to extend his contract. There is concern on the offensive line, as fellow guards\u00a0Ben Bartch\u00a0and Jon Feliciano are also headed toward free agency.<\/p>\n<p>San Francisco will likely bring back at least one of those guards, but who gets the call is unclear.<\/p>\n<h2>49ers Star Speaks on De\u2019Vondre Campbell Quitting<\/h2>\n<p>Ward spoke on his future, but he also had some words for soon-to-be former teammate LB\u00a0De\u2019Vondre Campbell. Campbell, who was also set to be a free agent in 2025, walked off the field and refused to play against the Rams.<\/p>\n<p>Ward claims that it was because he was frustrated that Greenlaw was the primary LB after his return from a torn Achilles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was\u00a0[De\u2019Vondre Campbell\u2019s] plan,\u201d Ward said. \u201cHe had his mind made up. I mean, it\u2019s crazy. He\u2019s not a better player than Dre. You saw that today \u2014 (Greenlaw)\u2019s the engine of our defense, the guy who starts everything for us. But you could see (Campbell\u2019s decision not to play) coming for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ward is the only 49ers player that mentioned anything about the quitting being predetermined. Either way,\u00a0Campbell\u2019s time in San Francisco, and possibly the NFL as a whole, is over.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Francisco 49ers CB Charvarius Ward The\u00a0San Francisco 49ers\u00a0will likely undergo serious roster turnover, and one of their best players isn\u2019t sure if he\u2019ll be on the&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":17823,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17822","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
