49ers explore options for defensive line replacements and extensions.

The San Francisco 49ers are in need of edge rushers after losing Samson Ebukam and Charles Omenihu to free agency. The team could potentially sign Yannick Ngakoue, Jadeveon Clowney, Leonard Floyd, Za'Darius Smith, or Markus Golden. Ngakoue would be the most expensive option, but could be a good fit. Clowney is a strong run defender, but has question marks surrounding his attitude and injury history. Floyd is a complete player with the fewest question marks, while Smith is a high-performing player who wants out of Minnesota. Golden is a solid option who could be affordable for the 49ers.
