I think it\u2019s time to look at the 49ers 2023 salary cap situation, especially with the season-ending injury to Jimmy Garoppolo.<\/p>\n

The 49ers currently have 33 players signed for 2023, accounting for $199,068,582, along with $17,085,988 in dead money, for a total of $216,154,570, leaving the 49ers $8,845,430 under a projected $225 million salary cap, but that\u2019s with just 33 players, with 51 players, the 49ers would be $4,654,570 over that $225 million salary cap.<\/p>\n

Below are the 33 players signed, with their current 2023 cap number.<\/p>\n

    Now, below are the top candidates for restructures.<\/p>\n

    RB Christian McCaffrey \u2013 $8.576 million max, $7,146,666 minimum<\/p>\n

    TE George Kittle \u2013 $8.456 million max, $7,927,500 minimum<\/p>\n

    LT Trent Williams \u2013 $14.588 million max, $13,676,250 minimum<\/p>\n

    DT Arik Armstead \u2013 $11.78 million max, $11,043,750 minimum<\/p>\n

    MLB Fred Warner \u2013 $9.476 million max, $8,883,750 minimum<\/p>\n

    Now, let\u2019s look at what the 49ers should get back in form of adjustments\/credits.<\/p>\n

    First up are the veterans.<\/p>\n

    QB Nate Sudfeld- $1.035 million out of $2 million that he was guaranteed when he signed with the 49ers in the offseason, so they\u2019ll eat $965,000.<\/p>\n

    WR Malik Turner- $300,000, as Turner\u2019s spent time on the 49ers practice squad, and is now on the Raiders practice squad.<\/p>\n

    WR Marcus Johnson- $250,000, as Johnson was on the Giants practice squad, and is now on their 53-man roster.<\/p>\n

    DE Kemoko Turay- $751,900, if Turay stays on the 49ers practice squad for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n

    CB Dontae Johnson- $358,200, maybe more, as he could be activated up to 3 times, which would make it $471,000, or more if the team or another team signs him to their 53-man roster.<\/p>\n

    That\u2019s a total of $2,695,100.<\/p>\n

    Next are UDFAs that were given guarantees in their base salaries.<\/p>\n

    WR Tay Martin- $45,000<\/p>\n

    RG Jason Poe- $65,000<\/p>\n

    SLB Marcelino McCrary-Ball- $100,000<\/p>\n

    CB Qwuantrezz Knight- $25,000<\/p>\n

    FS Tayler Hawkins- $50,000<\/p>\n

    They will also get back $935,294 from Jimmy Garoppolo, Deebo Samuel, Kyle Juszczyk, Trent Williams, Samson Ebukam, Arik Armstead, Dre Greenlaw, Emmanuel Moseley, Jimmie Ward\u2019s per game roster bonuses not being achieved.<\/p>\n

    And finally, with the season-ending injury to Jimmy Garoppolo, the 49ers should get back $2.35 million, so they should get back as much as $6,265,394 in 2023.<\/p>\n

    The 49ers have the following free agents to be.<\/p>\n

    UFA:<\/strong>
    \n<\/strong>QB Jimmy Garoppolo
    \nQB Josh Johnson
    \nTE Ross Dwelley
    \nTE Tyler Kroft
    \nTE Jordan Matthews
    \nC Jake Brendel
    \nC Daniel Brunskill
    \nRT Mike McGlinchey
    \nDE Jordan Willis
    \nDE Samson Ebukam
    \nDE Kerry Hyder Jr.
    \nDE Charles Omenihu
    \nDT T.Y. McGill Jr.
    \nDT Maurice Hurst Jr.
    \nNT Hassan Ridgeway
    \nSLB Azeez Al-Shaair
    \nCB Emmanuel Moseley
    \nCB Jason Verrett
    \nFS Jimmie Ward
    \nFS Tashaun Gipson Sr.
    \nFS Tarvarius Moore
    \nPK Robbie Gould
    \nLS Taybor Pepper<\/p>\n

    RFA:<\/strong>
    \nLT Colton McKivitz
    \nDT Kevin Givens
    \nSLB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles<\/p>\n

    ERFA:<\/strong>
    \nWR Jauan Jennings
    \nWLB Curtis Robinson<\/p>\n

    Practice Squad FA:<\/strong>
    \nQB Jacob Eason
    \nRB Tevin Coleman
    \nWR Tay Martin
    \nWR Willie Snead IV
    \nWR Dazz Newsome
    \nC Keith Ismael
    \nRG Jason Poe
    \nLT Leroy Watson
    \nRT Alfredo Gutierrez
    \nDE Alex Barrett
    \nDE Kemoko Turay
    \nDT Akeem Spence
    \nSLB Marcelino McCrary-Ball
    \nCB Dontae Johnson
    \nCB Qwuantrezz Knight
    \nCB Janoris Jenkins
    \nFS Tayler Hawkins<\/p>\n

    The 49ers will likely want to bring back the likes of center Jake Brendel, defensive ends Samson Ebukam, Kerry Hyder Jr., & Charles Omenihu, defensive tackle T.Y. McGill Jr., nose tackle Hassan Ridgeway, strongside linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, cornerback Emmanuel Moseley, & free safety Tashaun Gipson Sr.<\/p>\n

    I expect the 49ers to tender all of their RFAs, & ERFAs, those being wide receiver Jauan Jennings, left tackle Colton McKivitz, defensive tackle Kevin Givens, weakside linebacker Curtis Robinson, & strongside linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles.<\/p>\n

    Now, the 49ers are projected to have the following draft picks, this is as of week 12, so check back in a few days for updated numbers.<\/p>\n

    3rd-Round \u2013 #99th (Compensatory Pick for losing Robert Saleh\/Martin Mayhew)
    \n3rd-Round \u2013 #101st (Compensatory Pick for losing Mike McDaniel)
    \n5th-Round \u2013 #155th (Own Pick)
    \n5th-Round \u2013 #162nd (from Miami Dolphins)
    \n5th-Round \u2013 #173rd (Compensatory Pick for losing D.J. Jones)
    \n6th-Round \u2013 #216th (Compensatory Pick for losing Arden Key)
    \n7th-Round \u2013 #222nd (from Denver Broncos)
    \n7th-Round \u2013 #240th (Own Pick)<\/p>\n

    Below are the projected cap numbers, in table format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    If we add in those picks in, plus the 5 tenders, the 49ers would be $8.675,602 over the cap with 47 players signed, with 51 signed they\u2019d be $11,675,602 over, but this doesn\u2019t include credits, with the credits they\u2019d be $2,410,208 over with 47 players signed, or $5,410,208 over with 51 signed, so they\u2019ll need to restructure some players contracts, with the most likely ones being McCaffrey, Williams, & Warner, which would save a max of $32.64 million, which would give the 49ers $25.604 million to spend on their own players, or to replace players who leave, but this doesn\u2019t take into account Nick Bosa\u2019s pending extension, which should save some money.<\/p>\n

    So, there you have it, the 49ers 2022 salary cap situation, post Jimmy Garoppolo injury, along with draft picks & RFA\/ERFA tenders taken into account.<\/p>\n
