  San Francisco 49ers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 49ers won five Super Bowls, four in the 1980s, and are considered The Team of the Eighties (the team had never won an NFL or Super Bowl championship prior, and had never even won a division title until 1970).
The 49ers players found out about it at halftime when coach Frankie Albert was handed a note with two words: "Tony's gone." With tears running down their faces, and motivated to win for their departed owner, the 49ers scored 17 unanswered points to win the game, 21-17.
The 49ers would finish that season with a record of 2-14, their second consecutive losing season (and finishing last in the NFC West division for the first time since 1979, ending what had been the NFL's longest active streak for not finishing last in a division).

SANTA CLARA - The 49ers Wednesday revealed what many had been suspecting for the past month - that Jonas Jennings, their top free-agent acquisition this offseason, will miss the rest of the year with a shoulder injury.
He won't come right out and say it, of course, but it would have to be Archie Manning's ultimate dream, as the proud patriarch of a quarterback family, to have his NFL sons, Peyton and Eli, oppose each other in a Super Bowl in their first meeting.
SANTA CLARA - Most of the current 49ers were born in the 1980s and, fittingly, many on the roster grew up rooting for the team of the decade - the San Francisco 49ers.

 Scout.com: 49ers report card
Andy Lee had a solid net of 38.6 yards on his five punts, and the kickoff coverage was excellent, pinning the Rams back for an average start after kickoffs at their 19-yard line.

But even with the 49ers ahead by 19 points midway through the third quarter, the reality that San Francisco might actually pull off this upset still was a concept difficult to get completely comfortable with.

 NinerFanatic.com - Salary Cap Info
As of today, it appears the 49ers are $2.7 million under the cap and still have 8 unrestricted free agents though the ones drawing interest, from the 49ers and others, are S Lance Schulters, RB Garrison Hearst, and FB Fred Beasley.
While this is considerably better than the past few years the 49ers still dont figure to be big players in free agency this offseason, instead turning their attention to resigning their own free agents.
If the 49ers can get Schulters signed to a long-term deal they could feasibly have enough money to sign their draftees with the savings from the $5 million or so "franchise" cost I projected they would have to lay out for Schulters.
