Today, we continue our 9-part series showing how much of the 49ers 2022 salary cap a certain position group takes up, and today we continue with the linebackers.<\/p>\n
Players Under Contract: Fred Warner(2026), Dre Greenlaw(2022), Azeez Al-Shaair(2022), Oren Burks(2023), Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles(2022), Jeremiah Gemmel(2024), Segun Olubi(2024), Marcelino McCrary-Ball(2024), & Curtis Robinson(2022)<\/p>\n
Total Cap Hit: $19,991,683<\/p>\n
This, just like the defensive line, is a big time strength for the 49ers, as Fred Warner($8,134,588 against the cap), Dre Greenlaw($2,2,620,429), & Azeez Al-Shaair($3.986 million) will the starters, with Oren Burks($1.408 million) as the backup, and I think this is all the 49ers need at linebacker, they all have versatility, and are great at what they do.<\/p>\n
The rest, Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles($895,000), Curtis Robinson($825,000), Jeremiah Gemmel($711,666), Segun Olubi($706,000), & Marcelino McCrary-Ball($705,000) are all practice squad candidates, and of these guys, I see Gemmel, & Flannigan-Fowles having the best shot to make the team if the 49ers keep 5 LBs.<\/p>\n
