With the 49ers 11 draft picks, only the first 5 picks’ salary cap numbers would count against the top 51 rule, along with the 49ers other 6 picks’ prorated bonuses counting against the top 51 rule, meaning the 49ers need $10,251,093, as of now, to sign their potential 11 draft picks, but since the 5 picks would replace 5 on the top 51 rule, meaning the 49ers would only need $5,171,093 in top 51 money to sign all 11 picks.
If the 49ers were to make all 11 picks, without trading any, which is unlikely, the 49ers would have 84 players signed, with them accounting for $259,093,791, plus the $80,955,948 in dead money, for a total of $340,049,739, this also includes both of their post June 1 cut designations, while their top 51 rule would be $307,269,739, leaving the 49ers $33,283,943 under their 2025 adjusted salary cap of $340,553,682.

Below are the 49ers 2026-2028 salary cap outlook with the 11 draft picks included.
2026: $45,056,149 with 39 players signed on a $305 million projected salary cap.
2027: $94,326,902 with 23 players signed on a $330 million projected salary cap.
2028: $200,905,844 with 14 players signed on a $355 million projected salary cap.
Of course the salary cap limits are just estimates at this time, since the cap has only skyrocketed since 2024, expect the salary cap to keep going up by $20 million to $25 million each year, thanks indue to the NFL’s TV deals that they negotiated with the likes of FOX, CBS, ESPN/ABC, Amazon Prime, & Netflix, plus the NFL Sunday Ticket, which belongs exclusively to YouTube & YouTube TV.
Now, once June 2nd comes around, the 49ers will gain $2,332,353 & 1.755 million from Maliek Collins’ post June 1 cut designations, a total of $4,087,353, which would take care of a little less than half of what would be needed to sign all 11 draft picks.
Now, we can’t talk about this offseason without mentioning quarterback Brock Purdy, who should have his deal finalized before the 2025 season begins, but hopefully any day now, which should come in between $50 million to $55 million a year, with somewhere in the $218 million range in guaranteed money, with $145 million being fully guaranteed.
I’d imagine a $70 million signing bonus would be given to Purdy, along with minimum base salaries in 2025, 2026, & 2027, along with 2 option bonuses, 1 due in 2026 worth around $20 million, and the other in 2027 worth around $25 million, then per game roster bonuses of $750,000 from 2026-2030 on a 5-year extension, and $100,000 workout bonuses from 2026-2030, with his 2025, 2026, & 2027 base salaries, 2026, & 2027 per game roster bonuses, & 2026 & 2027 workout bonuses would be fully guaranteed, for a total of $120.275 million in fully guaranteed money.
Now, the remaining guaranteed money would come from whatever his 2028, & 2029 base salaries, in the form of guaranteed for injury, and fully guaranteed on April 1 of the previous year, which is the norm for what the 49ers do with their multi-year extensions.
As for cap numbers, I’d expect $15.1 million in 2025, $20.065 million in 2026, & $25.11 million in 2027, with the 2028-2030 years having cap numbers at or above his APY, whatever it comes in at.
We also can’t talk about this offseason without talking about pending extensions for guys like wide receiver Jauan Jennings, tight end George Kittle, & middle linebacker Fred Warner, with Jennings getting in the $15 million to $20 million a year range, while both Kittle & Warner would get $20 million or more a year on average.
If the 49ers extend both Kittle, & Warner this offseason, they can save as much as $10.516 million, & $13.116 million for Warner, a total of $23.632 million, but it’s more likely they’d save in the $15 million to $18 million range on extensions for Kittle, & Warner, along with the team saving significant cap room on a Warner deal in 2026, as he’s set to count $26.71 million, and in the $3 million range from Kittle’s $13.625 million dead money hit that’s pending if his deal voids.
All in all, if the 49ers can get deals done for Kittle, & Warner they should be able to carryover somewhere in the $30 million to $35 million range into 2026, where they’re a projected $63,708,255 under a projected 2026 salary cap of $305 million, but that’s with just 28 players signed for 2026, or $45,353,255 with enough players to get to 51.
If we add in a Purdy extension, & the 49ers 11 draft picks, they would have 40 players signed, accounting for $229,251,323, plus a current dead money amount of $50,757,528, but $13.326 million of it is from Kittle, and $8.21 million is from Jauan Jennings, a total of $280,008,851 committed, putting them $24,991,149 under a projected $300 million cap, without any carryover or adjustments accounted for, but with 40 players signed, or $14,371,149 with enough for 51 players signed.
Also, the above cap room for 2025 doesn’t include potential carryover & adjustments, which as I said, could be in the $30 million to $35 million range, meaning they’d be between $59,991,149 & $54,991,149 under the 2026 salary cap, with 40 players signed, or between $49,371,149 & $44,371,149 with enough players to get to the top 51 rule, and I should also note, any deal for Fred Warner this year would save cap room in both 2025 & 2026, similar to Trent Williams, & Christian McCaffrey’s deal last year.
