2020 Mock Offseason Plan:

The San Francisco 49ers finished the 2019 season with an impressive 13-3 record, the NFC West title, the No. 1 seed, and the NFC championship. While they didn’t finish the NFL’s 100th season as world champions, they had a hell of a year. Now it’s time to look to 2020 once again.

 

Since the Super Bowl, the 49ers have signed 14 players to reserve/future contracts, including nine of their 11 practice squad players. They’ve also restructured two contracts, Kwon Alexander, which saves over $8.1 million, and Weston Richburg, which saves over $4.5 million for 2020.

 

The 49ers will likely look into restructures, namely Jimmy Garoppolo, Joe Staley, and Dee Ford. They’d save over $19 million with a Garoppolo restructure, over $10 million with a Ford restructure, and over $7 million with a Staley restructure.

 

If the 49ers were to do these three restructures, along with tendering their six exclusive rights free agents(Nick Mullens, Jeff Wilson Jr., Ross Dwelley, Daniel Brunskill, Andrew Lauderdale, & Emmanuel Moseley), they’d have close to $50 million in cap room.

 

They can save around $3.1 million by cutting Marquise Goodwin, along with another $4 million by cutting Jerick McKinnon. I have a feeling they’ll try and work out a restructured deal with McKinnon; it would essentially be a pay cut, eliminating the 2021 year, which saves $9.2 million in 2021.

 

Also, by cutting Goodwin, the team would clear $7.625 million in 2021.

 

Another potential cap cut is Mark Nzeocha, which would clear a little under $1 million in cap room, due to the top-51 rule.

 

The 49ers may also decide to move on from Solomon Thomas, but the only way to do so, and save cap room, is to trade him, and to do so before training camp, which would clear close to $4 million, again due to the top-51 rule. Keep in mind; if they trade him, it would likely be for a very late pick for this very reason if a team were to take it. Solomon’s play isn’t going to be worth a team giving up an early draft pick and then have to have it count $4 million against their salary cap.

 

The 49ers have several free agents, whether they’re unrestricted or restricted free agents, so let’s take a look at who they are.

 

RB Matt Breida (RFA)

WR Emmanuel Sanders (UFA)

WR Kendrick Bourne (RFA)

WR Jordan Matthews (UFA)

TE Levine Toilolo (UFA)

C Ben Garland (UFA)

OT Shon Coleman (UFA)

DE Arik Armstead (UFA)

DE Ronald Blair III (UFA)

DE Damontre Moore (UFA)

DT Earl Mitchell (UFA)

NT Sheldon Day (UFA)

LB Elijah Lee (RFA)

CB Jason Verrett (UFA)

CB Dontae Johnson (UFA)

FS Jimmie Ward (UFA)

 

I expect the 49ers to look into bringing back Sanders, Armstead, Blair, and Ward on multi-year deals. At the same time, they could also look into bringing back some of the other vets like Garland, Coleman, and Moore on minimum deals to compete in camp, though I wouldn’t be opposed to a multi-year deal for Garland, who filled in for Weston Richburg, and did a great job. While the absence of Richburg was felt the further the season went, there’s no denying that Garland has been a plug-and-play center and if disaster strikes again, we know that he can hold down the fort.

 

Breida and Bourne will most likely get the original round tender, which would be $2.147 million on a $200 million cap. Lee could be retained on a one-year deal, worth the league minimum of $735,000.

 

For the big four free agents, this is their projected average per year(APY) on multi-year deals.

 

Sanders – $8 million

Armstead – $15 million

Blair – $5 million

Ward – $8 million

 

The team will almost certainly look into extending both George Kittle and DeForest Buckner. They also have some other players they could extend, and save some good amount of cap room by converting their base salary into bonus money, those guys include, Tevin Coleman, Kyle Juszczyk, Richard Sherman, and Jaquiski Tartt.

 

I’d also like to see the 49ers look into extending the contracts of D.J. Jones, and K’Waun Williams, who like the above, is only signed through 2020. They are only going to get more expensive after that.

 

I also expect the 49ers to keep the following players around, or try to, long term, on multi-year deals, I’ve included when they’re signed through, and projected average per year(APY).

 

QB Jimmy Garoppolo – Signed through 2022, $27.5 million APY

QB Nick Mullens – Signed through 2019, $4 million APY

RB Tevin Coleman – Signed through 2020, $4.5 million APY

RB Raheem Mostert – Signed through 2021, $4.5 million APY

RB Jeff Wilson Jr. – Signed through 2019, $1 million APY

FB Kyle Juszczyk – Signed through 2020, $5.25 million APY

WR Deebo Samuel – Signed through 2022, $6 million APY

TE Ross Dwelley – Signed through 2019, $1 million APY

C Weston Richburg – Signed through 2022, $9.5 million APY

LG Laken Tomlinson – Signed through 2021, $5.5 million APY

RG Mike Person – Signed through 2021, $2.75 million APY

OL Daniel Brunskill – Signed through 2019, $2.5 million APY

RT Mike McGlinchey – Signed through 2021, $14.5 million APY

DE Dee Ford – Signed through 2023, $17 million APY

DE Nick Bosa – Signed through 2022, $20 million APY

DT Jullian Taylor – Signed through 2021, $1.5 million APY

NT D.J. Jones – Signed through 2020, $3 million APY

MLB Fred Warner – Signed through 2021, $13.5 million APY

WLB Kwon Alexander – Signed through 2022, $13.5 million APY

SLB Dre Greenlaw – Signed through 2022, $2.5 million APY

CB Richard Sherman – Signed through 2020, $9.05 million APY

CB K’Waun Williams – Signed through 2020, $5 million APY

CB Emmanuel Moseley – Signed through 2019, $2.5 million APY

SS Jaquiski Tartt – Signed through 2020, $6.5 million APY

P Mitch Wishnowsky – Signed through 2022, $1 million APY

LS Kyle Nelson – Signed through 2022, $1.5 million APY

 

Now, below is a mock plan, that would see the 49ers able to keep their core together, while still having some cap room to add some veterans via free agency. Now I doubt the 49ers will look into first-tier players, but more like the second or third tier value free agents.
