The biggest differences between my last projection to this one is I decided to keep Travis Benjamin over Jauan Jennings, Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles over James Burgess Jr., and Nate Sudfeld over Josh Rosen, these are mainly due to reports from local beat writers.
So, with this roster, the 49ers would have $5,096,490 in salary cap room to begin the season, which should be enough to start 2021, but the team may have to restructure someone like Arik Armstead, which would save $4.528 million, due to the team needing $1,432,352 to payback 15 players’ per game roster bonuses that aren’t counting against the cap.
So with all of this said, I thank everyone for reading article, as always you can follow me on Twitter @49erscap, or leave a comment below, and I’ll get back to you.
