Just five days before the 49ers face the Philadelphia Eagles on the road in the first round of the playoffs, they've agreed to sign veteran linebacker Kyzir White, according to NFL Insider Jordan Schultz.

A decade after calling San Francisco home, Eagles DC Vic Fangio is ready for a challenging 49ers offense in the playoffs.

It's not a surprise the 49ers were this high in such a category. They lost defensive end Nick Bosa ($34 million APY) in Week 3, and then linebacker Fred Warner ($21 million APY) in Week 6. Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk ($30 million) also never played.

The Seattle Seahawks claimed one of their greatest regular-season victories in franchise history when they defeated the San Francisco 49ers 13-3 in Week 18. That triumph awarded the Seahawks the NFC West division title and the No. 1 seed in the conference, which comes with home-field advantage and a first-round postseason bye. What a haul!
