Capitalize On Title Window
Coming as close as it gets to winning the Super Bowl but coming up short is a tough act to follow up the following season. To make matters worse, the 2019 season was the best equipped the San Francisco 49ers probably will be to win it all in the near future.
Needless to say, the 49ers still are well within their window for title contention. Losing players like DeForest Buckner and Emmanuel Sanders undoubtedly will hurt. However, San Francisco still has plenty left to be an elite team in 2020.
The financial toll of having to do what it takes to keep dynamic players adds up over time. It may not be now or never for the 49ers when it comes to winning a Super Bowl, but it’s crucial to capitalize on a window early because a team never knows when it’s going to shut.
There will be key players highlighted by George Kittle and Nick Bosa that will need contract extensions in the near future. It will become challenging to surround the franchise players with quality role players over time, naturally as it is for teams under such circumstances.
