The 49ers looked great on paper heading into the 2024 campaign. The team really didn&#8217;t seem like it had any glaring holes and the biggest thought was whether or not the team could win the NFC Championship again and make a return trip to the Super Bowl and finish what they started.<\/p>\n<p>Injuries changed things and the 49ers instead finished closer to landing the No. 1 overall pick than making a deep playoff run again. Now, there are a lot of financial questions facing the franchise and everyone won&#8217;t be back.<\/p>\n<p>One guy who has been discussed at length already is star cornerback Charvarius Ward. He had a three-year deal with San Francisco worth over $40 million. The one-time Pro Bowler heading to free agency now and Sports Illustrated&#8217;s\u00a0Matt Verderame predicted that he won&#8217;t be back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;San Francisco 49ers: Charvarius Ward, CB,&#8221;\u00a0Verderame said. &#8220;Prediction: Leaves for a multi-year deal. Ward had a productive three years in San Francisco, including being named an All-Pro in 2023. However, after the tragic death of his 1-year-old daughter, Ward has made it clear he\u2019s looking to move on. In that regard, the 28-year-old won\u2019t go without attention. He and D.J. Reed are the two best-available corners, and with Ward\u2019s combination of age and talent, he should get a healthy multi-year deal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ward has spent the last three years in San Francisco and arguably is the top cornerback heading to the open market. He should land a lucrative deal early in free agency in March.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>More NFL:\u00a0NFL writer has 49ers-Buccaneers trade pitch centered on Leonard Floyd<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<section data-testid=\"article-author-bio-block\">Patrick McAvoy&#8217;s experiences include local and national sportswriting across baseball, football and basketball.
