The San Francisco 49ers lost cornerback Charvarius Ward in free agency last offseason, and while they added a couple of veterans and a rookie to try to replace him, their secondary was still lacking in 2025.
Heading into 2026, San Francisco is set to return their entire cornerback room, with Chase Lucas being the only restricted free agent of the group.
Still, the 49ers should be looking to add at cornerback this offseason, which is why Bleacher Report's Alex Kay recently picked the team as the best fit for Tairq Woolen in free agency.
"The rival San Francisco 49ers could not only bolster their own secondary, but also knock their NFC West rivals down a peg by luring Woolen away this offseason," Kay wrote. "The Niners have struggled at the outside cornerback position and could benefit heavily by adding a 6-foot-4, 210-pound playmaker into the mix.
"Woolen has racked up 12 interceptions and 53 pass defenses during his first 64 career games and still has plenty of tread left on his tires at the age of 26, making him an excellent option for San Francisco to sign to a long-term deal."
Kay predicted that Woolen will sign a four-year, $55 million contract this offseason. That may be a bit rich for the 49ers right now, as they have Deommodore Lenoir on a massive five-year, $88.88 million deal.
However, having Lenoir, Woolen, Renardo Green and Upton Stout as their top four cornerbacks would definitely be an improvement over the group that included Darrell Luter okaying 25% of the snaps in 2025.
