SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) - The San Francisco 49ers started free agency by getting some needed help for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
The 49ers agreed to a four-year contract with versatile running back Jerick McKinnon and a five-year deal with interior offensive lineman Weston Richburg just after the start of the new league year Wednesday.
McKinnon will replace starter Carlos Hyde, who was allowed to leave in free agency.
Richburg could step in and start at either guard or center next season.
