The San Francisco 49ers placed second-round tenders on two of their restricted free agents, wide receiver Kendrick Bourne and running back Matt Breida, on Tuesday. That guarantees each player nearly $3.3 million in 2020 — at the least.
There is still a slight possibility, though, one or both players don't play with San Francisco during the upcoming season. No, this article is not assuming the worst. Both are likely to remain with the 49ers.
Breida and Bourne are free to negotiate with other teams, though. Should one of those teams find itself very interested in either, it could make a better offer.
The 49ers would have the right to match any opposing offer. The other team would be required to hand over a second-round pick to San Francisco should the 49ers decline to match.
It would seem that neither Bourne nor Breida are ready to assume anything right now.
Bourne appeared to be a bit shocked by the news that a second-round tender was being placed on him.
Bourne then posted the following in response to a tweet explaining what might happen if another team is very interested in him.
Breida said the following.
Now, none of this means that either player is hoping to leave the 49ers. That would be assuming a lot. Maybe it means they wouldn't mind seeing San Francisco match a better offer. More money in their pockets would be a plus.
Or maybe it's just the two players knowing nothing is set in stone. This is the NFL, after all.
The news was a big win for the Niner Faithful, who on social media were excited to hear that both players are likely returning to the 49ers.

Did you have an inkling that the 49ers were this interested in you to take you in the first round? What were your interactions with them leading up to this?
"I think the only time I actually met with them was during the Senior Bowl when you're kind of doing like the little speed dating meetings. So that's really the only time I really got to talk to them. But as far as that, I didn't really have too much conversation and contact with them. My agent was trying to contact them leading up,

Did you have much contact with the 49ers coming into this draft?
"Not a lot, but I talked to the DB coach [Daniel Bullocks]. He had some really good words. He never said that they were coming to get me or anything, but we talked on the phone. The type of demeanor he gave off and the words he used – he kept things real. He let me know some things about myself as a player, things that he knew I was capable of and that he saw my potential. But I didn't think they

49ers WR Deebo Samuel safe from being traded...for now
Rumors were swirling leading up to the NFL Draft, and even throughout the first round. Would the San Francisco 49ers trade away one of their star wide receivers, Deebo Samuel or Brandon Aiyuk? I never felt like they would trade either of them. Not because I have any inside information, but because it never made sense. When you've come so close to winning a Super Bowl, shouldn't you bring everyone back and give it another shot?
The week leading up to the draft was interesting. The reports from Mike Silver alone kept things interesting. Earlier in the week, the San Francisco Chronicle columnist reported that Samuel had been assured he wasn't being traded. Later, Silver changed his tune, suggesting Samuel very well could be moved. Then after the 49ers drafted Florida WR Ricky
