Back in April, the San Francisco 49ers thought they had a deal done with offensive tackle D.J. Humphries, but the former first-round pick never signed his contract. The former Pro Bowler then remained a free agent until this week when he made the decision to sign with one of San Francisco's NFC West rivals.

In the 2023 season, Huff racked up 10 sacks, 21 quarterback hits, and 29 total tackles. He has had some troubles with injuries as of late, so he and the Niners will be hoping that he can stay on the field and make his impact felt.

It’s no accident the 49ers had trouble in the red zone last season with McCaffrey unable to dent the end zone. Any hope they have of reclaiming the NFC West and becoming a factor in the postseason rests with a return of the McCaffrey of old and not an “old” McCaffrey.
