The Ones Who Got Away
Five 1996 49ers made it to Honolulu in February. But San Francisco had more former players selected to last season's Pro Bowl (six) than any other team (Miami and Philadelphia were second, with four apiece). That is not so much an indictment of the 49ers' front office as it is evidence of how difficult free agency and the salary cap have made it for teams to retain star players.
