The 49ers’ offseason is one of the most important in team history with their potential playoff hopes riding on their ability to tweak a still-rebuilding roster.

How their additions factor in on the field will be important, but the way the ripple effect of their offseason moves impacts the rest of the roster will be key as well. Some of the roster will get a positive boost from the free agency moves, while other players will be adversely impacted.

Here are the winners and losers for the 49ers so far this offseason:

Winner: Safeties

The 49ers’ decision to not spend big money in free agency is a good sign for the safeties already on the roster. San Francisco’s only moves at the position were re-signing Jimmie Ward and re-signing Antone Exum Jr. The lack of funds allocated to the position expresses at least a modicum of confidence in the players they’re bringing back. It’ll be a competition for the starting job, and an early draft pick could very well be in the mix by training camp, but for now the safeties from last season will have a shot to start in 2019.
