On Thursday, the 49ers’ brass made a significant stride in that direction, as it was announced that veteran linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles would be resigning with the team on a one-year deal, per Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team on X, the social media platform formerly referred to as Twitter. The upcoming 2024 campaign will mark the sixth season that Flannigan-Fowles has spent as a member of the 49ers, per Meirov. It should be noted that he mostly plays special teams although also spending time as a member of the defense.

With some of their key members back intact, the 49ers will now turn their attention to the upcoming NFL Draft, where they will look to add some new young talent in addition to retaining some of their veteran leaders like Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles. The Draft is set to take place in April.
