Today I want to update everyone, post week 13, pre week 14, on what the 49ers adjustments/credits could look like for 2023, especially after the season-ending injury to Jimmy Garoppolo.
The 49ers gave out a good amount of guaranteed base salaries, to either veterans, or undrafted free agents, so let’s begin.
We’ll begin with the veterans.
QB Nate Sudfeld – Sudfeld received a 1-year, $2 million deal from the 49ers, but was cut at final cuts, but was signed by Detroit to a 1-year deal, worth $1.035 million, which is guaranteed, since he’s a vested veteran, and so far he’s earned $805,000 of it.
WR Malik Turner – Turner got a 1-year deal from the 49ers, with $300,000 guaranteed, and he was recently released from the practice squad, but signed by the Raiders to their practice squad, so the 49ers will get back the entire $300,000.
WR Marcus Johnson – Johnson signed a 1-year deal with the 49ers, with $250,000 guaranteed, and was on the Giants practice squad, and he’s now on the Giants 53-man roster now, he’s made enough for the 49ers to get the $250,000 back.
DE Kemoko Turay – Turay signed a 1-year deal with the 49ers, worth $1.7 million, with $1 million fully guaranteed, and the 49ers can get $751,900, as he is on the practice squad, & thus far he’s earned $606,644.
CB Dontae Johnson – Johnson signed a 1-year deal, that included $560,000 guaranteed, but he’s on the practice squad, and thus far he’s earned $338,244, so if the 49ers want to get back the full $560,000, he’d have to be signed to the 49ers, or another teams’ 53-man roster.
Now let’s look at the undrafted free agents.
WR Tay Martin – Martin got $45,000 guaranteed, and thus far he’s earned $188,667.
RG Jason Poe – Poe got $65,000 guaranteed, and thus far he’s earned $161,000.
SLB Marcelino McCrary-Ball – McCrary-Ball got $100,000 guaranteed, and has earned $161,000 thus far.
CB Qwuantrezz Knight – Knight received $25,000 guaranteed, and he’s earned $161,000 thus far.
FS Tayler Hawkins – Hawkins got $50,000 guaranteed, and has earned $161,000 thus far.
Between the veterans, and rookies, the 49ers should get back $2,695,100, as long as things stay status quo.
Next is per game roster bonus credits for 2023.
QB Jimmy Garoppolo – Jimmy G suffered a broken foot against the Dolphins, and will miss the rest of the season, so the 49ers will get back $88,235 from his $500,000 per game roster bonus.
FB Kyle Juszczyk – Juice missed 1 game, so the 49ers will get $23,529 from his $400,000 per game roster bonus.
WR Deebo Samuel – Deebo also 1 game, so the 49ers will get $44,118 from his $750,000 per game roster bonus.
LT Trent Williams – Williams has missed 3 games thus far, and he has a $750,000 per game roster bonus, the 49ers would get $44,118 in adjustments/credits in 2023.
DE Samson Ebukam – Ebukam has missed 2 games thus far, and he has a $500,000 per game roster bonus, so the 49ers would get $58,824 in adjustments/credits in 2023.
DT Arik Armstead – Armstead has missed 8 games thus far, and he has a $750,000 per game roster bonus, the 49ers would get $352,941 in adjustments/credits in 2023.
WLB Dre Greenlaw – Greenlaw 1 game, and the 49ers will get back $29,412 of his $500,000 per game roster bonus.
CB Emmanuel Moseley – Moseley tore his ACL, so he will miss the final 12 games of the season, but the 49ers will get back 6 games worth of his $500,000 per game roster bonus, so the 49ers would get $176,471 back in adjustments/credits in 2023.
FS Jimmie Ward – Ward missed 5 games, and will get back 4 games worth of his $500,000 per game roster bonus, which comes out to $117,647 in adjustments/credits in 2023.
These add up to $935,294.
The 49ers will also get back $2.45 million of Garoppolo’s $5.65 million LTBE incentives, so all in all, the 49ers will get back $6,365,394 in adjustments/credits.
While the $6.356 million isn’t a lot, but it’s still something, and the 49ers can use any, and all extra cap room in 2023 to retain their own.
As always, thank you for reading, you can follow me on twitter @49erscap for more salary cap information & tidbits.
