A look at the 49ers 2024, & 2025 salary cap situations, with week 10 a day away

17. FS 43 Tashaun Gipson Sr.*(2024)- $189,122

Now, let look at what the team needs in cap room for potential per game roster bonus paybacks.

QB Brandon Allen- $240,000

WR Jauan Jennings- $73,529

LT Trent Williams- $88,235

DT Maliek Collins- $29,412

DT Khalil Davis- $26,471

WLB De’Vondre Campbell Sr.- $120,000

SS George Odum- $60,000

That’s a total of $637,647 for 7 players.

Now, let’s look at what players have LTBE incentives for 2024.

WR Deebo Samuel Sr. – $150,000, this if for Deebo rushing for 3 or more touchdowns.

C Jake Brendel – $500,000, this is for an undisclosed percentage of offensive snaps.

RT Colton McKivitz – $620,000, this is for an undisclosed percentage of offensive snaps.

CB Charvarius Ward – $500,000, this is divided into $250,000 for making last season’s Pro Bowl, and $250,000 for being named an All-Pro last season.

Next, let’s look at what players have incentives that are considered NLTBE, and what the player can earn in total.

WR Deebo Samuel Sr.

He can get $650,000 for 380 or more rushing yards

He can also get $150,000 for 3 or more rushing touchdowns.

In total he can earn a max of $650,000 in incentives, with $150,000 currently counting against the 2024 salary cap.

DE Leonard Floyd

He can earn as much as $2 million, this is broken down as follows.

$500,000 for having 8 or more sacks, plus unknown team achievements.

$1 million for having 10 or more sacks, plus unknown team achievements.

$2 million for having 12 or more sacks.

WLB Dre Greenlaw

He can earn $500,000 if he’s named to the Pro Bowl.

SS George Odum

He has an undisclosed amount for various triggers, but we do know that $250,000 would be for him being named to the 1st or 2nd Team All-Pro.

P Mitch Wishnowsky

He can earn $450,000 for various different triggers, as described below.

$250,000 for making the Pro Bowl on the original ballot

$100,000 for net punting.

$100,000 for punt percentage inside the 20-yard line.

All in all, he can earn $450,000.

Next, let’s look at what kind of adjustments/credits the 49ers can get back in 2025.

First off, the 49ers are projected to be $8,927,949 under a projected 2025 salary cap of $280 million, but that’s with just 37 players signed, so when they have enough to fill out the top 51 rule, they’d be just $2,832,051 over that $280 million projected cap, but that’s before any adjustments/credits, or carryover.

Before I go over what the 49ers can get back in 2025, let’s look at the 37 players signed for 2025, with their salary cap number.

1. QB 13 Brock Purdy(2025)- $1,119,253 (Base Salary will escalate from $1.1 million to whatever the 2^nd-round RFA tender level is, this is due to Brock making last season’s Pro Bowl)

13. C 63 Nick Zakelj(2025)- $1,147,590
14. LG 74 Spencer Burford(2025)- $1,268,014 (Base Salary will escalate from $1.1 million to whatever the Original Round RFA tender level is, this is due to him playing enough snaps to qualify for the increase for his 4^th-year)
15. RG 77 Dominick Puni(2027)- $1,295,579
16. LT 71 Trent Williams(2026)- $21,968,777
17. RT 68 Colton McKivitz(2025)- $4,678,000
18. DE 97 Nick Bosa(2028)- $20,519,105
19. DE 56 Leonard Floyd(2025)- $10,108,000
20. DE 94 Yetur Gross-Matos(2025)- $9,443,000
21. DE 51 Robert Beal Jr.(2026)- $1,091,245
22. DE 95 Drake Jackson(2025)- $1,847,852
23. DT 99 Maliek Collins(2025)- $4,762,000
24. DT 92 Jordan Elliott(2025)- $3,465,000
25. NT 98 Javon Hargrave(2026)- $27,487,353
26. NT 93 Kalia Davis(2025)- $1,133,003
27. WLB 53 Dee Winters(2026)- $1,063,333
28. MLB 54 Fred Warner(2026)- $29,174,000
29. SLB 48 Tatum Bethune(2027)- $980,452
30. CB 0 Renardo Green(2027)- $1,452,244
31. CB 28 Darrell Luter Jr.(2026)- $1,108,378
32. FS 27 Ji’Ayir Brown(2026)- $1,471,583
33. FS/SS 30 George Odum(2026)- $3,971,666
34. SS/FS 6 Malik Mustapha(2027)- $1,144,734
35. PK 4 Jake Moody(2026)- $1,446,568
36. P 3 Mitch Wishnowsky(2026)- $3,050,000
37. LS 46 Taybor Pepper(2025)- $1,430,000

Now, let’s look at what the 49ers can get back in 2025.

First up are the veterans.

TE Eric Saubert – Saubert was given $300,000 of his 2024 base salary fully guaranteed, and since he was released after the final cuts, and brought back, the 49ers will get back, at the moment, all of the $300,000.

C Ben Bartch – Bartch was given $302,400 fully guaranteed in his 2024 base salary, but like with Saubert he was released at cut down, and brought back, so the 49ers will, as of now, the 49ers will get back the $302,400.

LT Chris Hubbard – Hubbard was given $300,000 of his 2024 base salary fully guaranteed, but he was released at the final cut down day, but we re-signed to the 49ers practice squad after week 1, but what signed by the Giants to their active roster, so as of now the 49ers will get back all of of the $300,000.

CB Rock Ya-Sin – Ya-Sin got $985,000 0f his 2024 base salary fully guaranteed, and like with Saubert, & Bartch, Ya-Sin was re-signed after cut down day, and because of making the 53-man roster, the 49ers will get back the entire $985,000, but as of now he’s earned $547,222.

That’s a total of $1,449,622 in money that the 49ers will for sure get back, and most definitely will get back $1,887,400.

Next are UDFAs that were given guarantees in their base salaries.

QB Tanner Mordecai – Mordecai received $100,000 fully guaranteed, and as of now the 49ers will get back all of the $100,000, as he’s earned enough.

TE Mason Pline – Pline got $50,000 in fully guaranteed money in his base salary, and has made $125,000, so the 49ers will get back the full $40,000.

C Drake Nugent – Nugent got $175,000 of his base salary fully guaranteed, as of now he’s earned $125,000, which the 49ers will get back.

NT Evan Anderson – Anderson got $250,000 of his 2024 base salary fully guaranteed, as of now he’s made $283,333, meaning the 49ers will get back the entire $250,000.

FS Jaylen Mahoney – Mahoney got $27,000 of his 2024 base salary fully guaranteed, and as of now he’s earned $220,000, but since he’s made enough, the 49ers will only get back the $27,000.

4 of the above players are on the 49ers’ practice squad, while Anderson is now on the 53-man roster, so they would get back $542,000, for a total of $1,991,622 between veterans & UDFA base salary guarantee paybacks, as of now.

Finally, we have per game roster bonuses that count against the cap that the 49ers will get back.

RB Christian McCaffrey – $205,882 of his $500,000 per game roster bonus.

TE George Kittle – $29,412 of his $500,000 per game roster bonus.

C Jon Feliciano – $264,706 of his $500,000 per game roster bonus.

DE Yetur Gross-Matos – $30,000 of his $510,000 per game roster bonus.

DT Jordan Elliott – $29,412 of his $500,000 per game roster bonus.

NT Javon Hargrave – $132,353 of his $750,000 per game roster bonus.

WLB Dre Greenlaw – $235,294 of his $500,000 per game roster bonus.

CB Charvarius Ward – $40,000 of his $340,000 per game roster bonus.

When we add in the UDFA credits, Veteran credits, & per game roster bonus credits, the 49ers will for sure get back $2,958,681, but if all goes as planned, and the teams 5 UDFAs on the practice squad, along with Chris Hubbard now with the Giants, & the UDFAs stick with the 49ers or another team, the 49ers should get back $3,446,459 in adjustments/credits for 2025.

Now, let’s look at the 49ers pending free agents for 2025.

UFA:

QB Joshua Dobbs
QB Brandon Allen
RB Elijah Mitchell
RB Patrick Taylor Jr.
WR Chris Conley
TE Eric Saubert
C Ben Bartch
LG Aaron Banks
RG Jon Feliciano
LT Jaylon Moore
DT Kevin Givens
DT Khalil Davis
SLB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles
WLB Dre Greenlaw
WLB De’Vondre Campbell
CB Charvarius Ward
CB Deommodore Lenoir
CB Isaac Yiadom
CB Rock Ya-Sin
CB Ambry Thomas
SS Talanoa Hufanga
PK Matthew Wright

RFA:

RB Jordan Mason

ERFA:

TE Jake Tonges
TE Brayden Willis
DE Sam Okuayinonu
NT Evan Anderson
MLB Curtis Robinson

SFA:

QB Tanner Mordecai
RB Ke’Shawn Vaughn
WR Trent Taylor
WR Terique Owens
WR Malik Turner
TE Mason Pline
C Drake Nugent
RT Isaac Alacron
DE Alex Barrett
DT T.Y. McGill Jr.
NT Nesta Jade Silvera
MLB Jalen Graham
SLB DaShaun White
CB Chase Lucas
FS Adrian Amos
FS Jaylen Mahoney
FS Tashaun Gipson Sr.

As of now, the 49ers have $54,469,063 in salary cap room for 2024, if the 49er are able to carryover that amount, which is unlikely, plus the adjustments/credits I mentioned that they’re guaranteed to get back, the 49ers as of now would be $66,355,693 under a projected 2025 adjusted salary cap of $337,482,466, but with just 37 players signed, so when they sign enough, if all 14 players are making the 2025 rookie minimum of $840,000, the 49ers would be $54,595,693 under that adjusted salary cap, with 51 players signed.

The 49ers have some options in 2025 for savings salary cap room, but not many, as they already restructured Deebo Samuel Sr., Jake Brendel, & Maliek Collins’ deals that included adjustments to their 2025 cap numbers, lowering them significantly, while Trent Williams new revised 3-year, $82.66 million lowered his 2025 cap number by over $10 million, & Christian McCaffrey’s extension also lowered his 2025 cap number significantly, but the other options are below.

TE George Kittle – $10.516 million savings ($13.145 million signing bonus, prorated at $2.629 million from 2025-2029) with a Restructure or Extension.

NT Javon Hargrave – $14.916 million savings ($18.645 million signing bonus, prorated at $3.729 million from 2025-2029) with a Restructure.

MLB Fred Warner – $13.184 million savings ($16.48 million signing bonus, prorated at $3.296 million from 2025-2029) with a Restructure or Extension.

Of the above 3 players, I’d expect the 49ers to look to extend both Kittle, & Warner, while they would be able to release Hargrave pre June 1, but they’d only save $2,747,353, while a post June 1 cut saves the team $20,032,353, but the money wouldn’t be available to them until June 2^nd, 2025.

As for players who restructured their deals, or signed new deals this offseason, that affected the 2025 salary cap, the 49ers won’t be able to offload Samuel before June 1, as they’d lose $29.229 million in 2025 cap room, while Brendel losses the team $2.093 million with a pre June 1 cut, and Collins would lose the team $670,000 with a pre June 1 cut.

If the 49ers wanted to offload these players after June 1, they’d save just $750,000 from Samuel, $1.765 million from Brendel, and $3.404 million from Collins, but that would also mean that they’d have significant dead money in 2026, whch as of now, Samuel, & Collins do have pending 2026 dead money.

As for Williams, & McCaffrey, the team would lose $34,854,781 if they cut Williams pre June 1, while only saving $750,000 with a post June 1 cut, as for McCaffrey, they’d lose $23,705,059 with a pre June 1 cut, and only save $323,529 with a post June 1 cut.

So basically, those 5 players are, in my eyes, guaranteed to be here in 2025, as team losses cap room on all 5 players, while only saving a total of $7,021,941 with post June 1 cuts or trades, while losing 4 either great or good players, and a serviceable interior offensive lineman, and would be settled with a ton of dead money in 2026.

Going back to the 49ers potential carryover + adjustments/credits, I expect the 49ers to be able to carryover at least $50 million into 2025, while also getting back $3,720,576 in adjustments/credits, which could increase, depending on injuries, players missing games, etc…

So, the 49ers should be looking at somewhere in the $55 million salary cap room heading into the 2025 offseason, which would go a long ways in keeping their core together, with guys like left guard Aaron Banks, weakside linebacker Dre Greenlaw, cornerbacks Charvarius Ward, & Deommodore Lenoir, & strong safety Talanoa Hufanga all scheduled to be UFAs, with the 49ers potentially being able to bring back 3 of these 5, with the most likely being Greenlaw, Lenoir, and either Ward or Hufanga, depending on whether or not the 49ers want to go over $20 million a year on Ward, or if they want to go over $15 million a year on Hufanga.

As for Banks, the 49ers have shown that they value other positions more, money wise, than interior offensive lineman, so giving Banks anywhere near or over $10 million to $15 million a year is unlikely, especially with the way the offensive guard market has exploded, similar to the wide receiver, & cornerback markets have as well.

Next up, we have the projected RFA tenders for 2025, if the 2025 salary cap does come in at $280 million, which would be a 9.63195% increase over the 2024 salary cap of $255.4 million.

1^st-Round RFA Tender: $7.479 million

2^nd-Round RFA Tender: $5.361 million

Original Round RFA Tender: $3.471 million

Right of First Refusal Tender: $3.273 million

The team has 1 pending RFA, running back Jordan Mason, and with the way he’s played through 3 weeks, there’s no way the 49ers don’t at least tender him at the 2^nd-round level, as if they don’t, they’d lose him for nothing, as he was a UDFA.

As for their ERFAs, they have 6 potential players, tight ends Jake Tonges & Brayden Willis, defensive end Sam Okuayinonu, nose tackle Evan Anderson, and middle linebackers Curtis Robinson, & Jalen Graham, although it’s possible that Robinson might be a UFA.

When it comes to Tonges, Willis, & Okuayinonu, all 4 have base salaries of just $915,000, with Okuayinonu counting just $762,500 against the 2024 cap, as he’s getting 15 weeks worth of a $915,000 base salary, while Willis counts $660,883 against the 2024 cap, as he’s getting 13 weeks worth of a $915,000 base salary, while Anderson counts $485,833 against the 2024 cap, as he’s getting 11 weeks worth of a $795,000 base salary, so his ERFA tender would be $960,000 & in 2025 the ERFA tender for the other 3 would be $1.03 million.

If Robinson is indeed an ERFA, his tender would be $1.1 million, so that would be a total of $6.18 million between the five potential ERFAs, so I’d expect the 49ers to tender all 6 players, along with Jordan Mason at the 2^nd-round RFA tender, which again would be $5.361 million on a $280 million base salary cap for 2025, a total of $10.511 million between the 6 players, 5 ERFAs, & 1 RFA.

If we deduct these numbers from a potential of $55 million in cap room, after carryover & adjustments/credits, plus when we add in Purdy, & Burford’s base salaries escalating, which is an additional $6.902 million, for a total of $17.413 million, the 49ers would have $37.587 million in 2025 salary cap room, more than enough to get 3 of the 5 players I mentioned earlier re-signed.

Lastly, when it comes to quarterback Brock Purdy’s impending extension, which will come in somewhere in the $55 million to $60 million a year, on average, definitely a 5-year extension in length, while I’d expect him to get a deal that’s structured similar to Trevor Lawrence’s deal, where Lawrence has cap hits of $15,029,725 in 2024, $17 million in 2025, & $24 million in 2026, so expect Purdy to have similar cap numbers for the first 3 years of the deal, only instead of from 2024-2026, like with Lawrence, it’d go from 2025-2027 for Purdy.

As for some sort of contract breakdown, guaranteed money wise, I’d expect somewhere in the $235 million range, in total guaranteed, with somewhere in the $60 million to $70 million signing bonus, with a minimum base salary of $1.1 million in 2025, $1.215 million in 2026, & $1.26 million in 2027, with yearly per game roster bonuses in the $750,000 range, and yearly $100,000 workout bonuses, which wouldn’t start until 2026, for both the per game roster bonuses, & workout bonuses, along with 2 option bonuses, say $25 million in 2026, & $20 million in 2027, with those option bonuses being fully guaranteed, and I’d expect his base salaries for 2024-2027, & per game roster bonuses & workout bonuses for 2025 & 2026 to also be fully guaranteed, which would add up to between $110.275 million to $120.275 million fully guaranteed of his total guaranteed money.

I expect the 49ers to also fully guarantee part of Purdy’s 2028 base salary, to get his fully guaranteed money up into the $135 million range out of the $235 million in total guaranteed money, while I expect the 49ers to do something similar to what the Jaguars did with Trevor Lawrence’s new deal, having more than 2 option bonuses, which would become fully guaranteed on April 1^st of the previous year that the option bonus would be due.

So, Purdy’s cap numbers from 2025-2027 would be $13.1 million with a $60 million signing bonus, or $15.1 million with a $70 million signing bonus for 2025, $19.065 million with a $60 million signing bonus, or $21.065 million with a $70 million signing bonus for 2026, and $23.11 million with a $60 million signing bonus, or $25.11 million with a $70 million signing bonus for 2027, while the remaining years would come in much higher, as do all veteran extensions that the 49ers end up giving out.

So, of the projected $37.587 million in cap room, you’d add in the difference between what Purdy’s new base salary will be once the new cap is set, which could come in at $280 million, so a difference of $4.261 million, that would give the 49ers, $41.848 million in theoretical cap room, but when the 49ers extend Purdy, which they should do as soon as their 2024 season, & playoffs are over, they would still have in the $27.848 million to $29.848 million range in salary cap room for 2025, which is still enough for the team to retain 3 of their 5 big free agents, Banks, Greenlaw, Ward, Lenoir, & Hufanga, while spending the rest on replenishing the roster with new veterans on cheap 1-2 years deals.

The 49ers, as of now, would owe out the following to players who had per game roster bonuses counting against the cap, but weren’t achieved, hence the team needs to payback the players.

RB Christian McCaffrey – $235,294

WR Brandon Aiyuk – $441,176

WR Deebo Samuel Sr. – $44,118

WR Jauan Jennings – $73,529

TE George Kittle – $29,412

DE Yetur Gross-Matos – $180,000

DT Jordan Elliott – $29,412

NT Javon Hargrave – $617,647

That’s a total of $1,650,588 needed in 2025, as of now, to payback 8 players currently under contract for next season.

And before anyone asks me about Kyle Shanahan or John Lynch’s job security, I don’t, in anyway, see the 49ers letting go of either Shanahan or Lynch, as this franchise doesn’t want to go back to dark ages, with the likes of Dennis Erickson, Mike Nolan, Mike Singletary, Jim Tomsula, or Chip Kelly as head coach, or someone like Scot McCloughan, or Trent Baalke as general manager, so no, don’t expect the 49ers to make any changes at the head coaching position, especially in season.

Now, if the season doesn’t go the way the 49ers hope it does, for sure the team will look to add someone to the current staff, or potentially bring back former New York Jets head coach, & former 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh back into the fold, whether as a position coach, or as defensive coordinator, if the teams defense doesn’t excel under Nick Sorensen.
