The San Francisco 49ers have released 11 players on the first day of free agency.

Quarterback coach Brian Griese , defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen and special teams coordinator Brian Schneider were fired in January .

The 49ers also traded Deebo Samuel and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk .

The 49ers didn't — and arguably couldn’t — keep that talent around as they move into an era of cost-effectiveness.

Lynch said as much at the conclusion of the season , when he tasked himself and head coach Kyle Shanahan as being the tandem that would fix it.

A Purdy negotiation could take the entire offseason and could have some roller coaster moments similar to the Aiyuk extension clash.
