Looking at which players have their salaries guaranteed for 2022, & a deeper look towards 2023

Now that we know the 49ers opening day 53-man roster, I thought it’d be a good idea to let everyone know whose contracts are fully guaranteed for making the week 1 53-man roster, along with players who already had their contracts guaranteed for 2022.

1. QB Jimmy Garoppolo – $6,500,000
2. QB Trey Lance – $825,000
3. RB Jeff Wilson Jr. – $1,035,000
4. FB Kyle Juszcyzk – $1,120,000
5. WR Deebo Samuel – $965,000
6. WR Brandon Aiyuk – $1,749,214
7. WR Ray-Ray McCloud III – $1,035,000
8. TE George Kittle – $1,035,000
9. TE Ross Dwelley – $895,000
10. TE Tyler Kroft – $895,000
11. C Jake Brendel – $895,000
12. LG Aaron Banks – $981,528
13. LT Trent Williams – $7,250,000
14. RT Mike McGlinchey – $10,880,000
15. DE Nick Bosa – $895,000
16. DE Kerry Hyder Jr. – $1,500,000
17. DE Drake Jackson – $705,000
18. DE Jordan Willis – $895,000
19. DE Samson Ebukam – $5,900,000
20. DT Arik Armstead – $1,120,000
21. DT Javon Kinlaw – $2,018,064
22. NT Hassan Ridgeway – $1,035,000
23. MLB Fred Warner – $2,564,000
24. MLB Oren Burks – $1,035,000
25. CB Charvarius Ward – $1,035,000
26. CB Emmanuel Moseley – $4,400,000
27. SS George Odum – $1,035,000
28. PK Robbie Gould – $4,000,000
29. LS Taybor Pepper – $1,055,000

It should be noted that Jimmie Ward’s contract isn’t guaranteed, as he’s starting the 2022 season on injured reserve, but if the 49ers do strike a contract extension, then you can be sure that Ward’s salary would be guaranteed.

Something else I’d like to go over a bit more is the 49ers 2023 salary cap, I went over it a bit the other day, but now I want to dive deeper.

The 49ers have 30 players signed, accounting for $179,212,599, along with $17,085,988 in dead money, for a total cap commitment of $196,298,587, leaving them $28,701,413 under a projected $225 million salary cap, but with just 30 players signed, so when they have 51 signed, they’ll be down to just $12,951,413, but don’t worry, because they’ll have a good amount of credits/adjustments, and I’ll explain below.

The 49ers should get back the following in adjustments/credits in 2023.

Veterans:

QB Nate Sudfeld – $1.035 million

WR Malik Turner – Up to $350,000, at least $277,200

DE Kemoko Turay – At least $277,200, possibly $358,200 or more

CB Dontae Johnson – At least $277,200, possibly $358,200 or more

A total of a minimum of $1,866,600, up to $2,101,400, or more depending on if Kemoko Turay, and/or Dontae Johnson are elevated to play this season, or sign off the practice squad, either by the 49ers, or another team.

UDFAs:

RB Jordan Mason – $30,000

WR Tay Martin – $45,000

RG Jason Poe – $65,000

SLB Marcelino McCrary-Ball – $100,000

CB Qwuantrezz Knight – $25,000

FS Tayler Hawkins – $50,000

A total of $315,000, plus either $1,866,600 or $2,101,400 for a total of either $2,181,600 or $2,416,400.

The 49ers could also get back $5.65 million from Jimmy Garoppolo’s incentives, which would give the 49ers either $7,516,600 or $8,066,400 in additional cap room for 2023, which would give the team $20 million or more in cap room.

Below are the 30 players signed for 2023, with their cap number.

1. LT 71 Trent Williams(2026)- $26,270,000
2. DT 91 Arik Armstead(2024)- $24,346,000

5. DE 97 Nick Bosa(2023)- $17,869,000
6. CB 7 Charvarius Ward(2024)- $16,405,000
7. QB 5 Trey Lance(2024)- $9,301,434
8. WR 19 Deebo Samuel(2025)- $8,860,000

17. CB 20 Ambry Thomas(2024)- $1,305,232
18. RB 32 Tyrion Davis-Price(2025)- $1,161,033
19. WR 6 Danny Gray(2025)- $1,146,569
20. TE 89 Charlie Woerner(2023)- $1,055,258
21. RG 74 Spencer Burford(2025)- $1,038,014
22. RT 76 Jaylon Moore(2024)- $1,020,759
23. CB 38 Deommodore Lenoir(2024)- $1,011,217

25. RB 25 Elijah Mitchell(2024)- $985,893
26. CB 26 Samuel Womack III(2025)- $940,831
27. LG/C 63 Nick Zakelj(2025)- $917,590
28. NT 93 Kalia Davis(2025)- $903,003
29. QB 13 Brock Purdy(2025)- $889,253
30. RB 24 Jordan Mason(2024)- $873,333

Now, the 49ers are talks with a few players about extensions, but no names are known, but the likes of Emmanuel Moseley, Dre Greenlaw, Azeez Al-Shaair, & Jimmie Ward could be in that list that the 49ers are either discussing extensions with or would like to keep past 2022.

Some other players the 49ers might be looking to extend could be Kevin Givens, Jauan Jennings, Charles Omenihu, & Samson Ebukam, but they won’t be able to keep all of their free agents, so expect them to lose some, but that’s a whiles away, so let’s all enjoy the season opener Sunday in Chicago.

As always, thank you for reading, you can follow me on twitter @49erscap for more salary cap information & tidbits.
