We all know that the 49ers will be letting go of Jimmy Garoppolo, which will save the team $24.055 million, but as you may have seen, the team will likely begin the 2022 season with around $16 million to $18 million<\/a>, based on how the roster is structured, so the team might be wise to restructure the contract of Trent Williams, and I\u2019ll tell everyone why they should.<\/p>\n

If the 49ers were to restructure left tackle Trent Williams contract, they\u2019d save $4.904 million in salary cap room, while only losing $1.226 million in cap room in 2023-2026.<\/p>\n

Now, the reason why I believe it\u2019d be wise to restructure Trent Williams\u2019 deal is simple, in 2023 the 49ers currently are projected to have just $11.4 million to $11.7 million in salary cap room when they have 51 players signed, so the team could use every bit of extra cap room in 2023.<\/p>\n

So, if the 49ers restructure Williams\u2019 deal, they could carryover as much as $15 million to $17 million, depending on how the 2022 roster is constructed, and how the 2022 season goes as far as injuries, & roster moves.<\/p>\n

To be able to carryover as much as $15 million to $17 million into 2023, that would give the 49ers between $26 million to $28 million in cap room, which would go a long way in retaining, and\/or replacing potential free agents.<\/p>\n
