He can still negotiate a multi-year contract with another team. If Al-Shaair signs an offer sheet with another team, the 49ers would have the right to match or receive a second-round draft pick as compensation.
Al-Shaair started 13 games last season and registered a career-best 102 tackles.
The 49ers tendered offensive lineman Daniel Brunskill at $2.433 million for the right of first refusal if another team were to sign him to an offer sheet.
Brunskill started all 33 games over the past two seasons. After splitting starts at guard and center in 2020, he lined up for every game at right guard last season.
