NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco broke down the San Francisco 49ers' offseason plans. He highlights the need to follow the Philadelphia Eagles' blueprint of fortifying the trenches. In doing so, Maiocco revealed Aaron Banks is not expected to return.

The San Francisco 49ers’ streak of three consecutive NFC Championship Game appearances may have ended, but their most impressive streak continues: this offseason marks the 17th consecutive offseason the 49ers have needed pass rush help (don’t fact-check that).

Pro Football Focus offered an intriguing option for the 49ers in the free agent market. The football analytics site named San Francisco as the best offseason landing spot for former Dallas Cowboys third-round pick Osa Odighizuwa.

The San Francisco must improve their interior defensive line, and Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa provides an alluring option.

The San Francisco 49ers might have pulled off the coup of this year’s coaching cycle, bringing back Robert Saleh to coordinate their defense.

Saleh, who was fired in October as the New York Jets head coach five games into his fourth season, generated interest on the head-coaching front and was seen as one of the frontrunners for the Jacksonville Jaguars job. He also interviewed with the Las Vegas Raiders and Dallas Cowboys.
