        Now, let\u2019s look at what the team needs in cap room for potential per game roster bonus paybacks.<\/p>\n

        MLB Fred Warner- $29,412<\/p>\n

        CB Charvarius Ward- $20,000<\/p>\n

        The 49ers will get back the following amount from players not attaining their per game roster bonuses counting against the cap.<\/p>\n

        QB Jimmy Garoppolo \u2013 $88,235<\/p>\n

        FB Kyle Juszczyk \u2013 $23,529<\/p>\n

        WR Deebo Samuel \u2013 $176,471<\/p>\n

        LT Trent Williams \u2013 $44,118<\/p>\n

        DE Samson Ebukam \u2013 $58,824<\/p>\n

        DT Arik Armstead \u2013 $352,941<\/p>\n

        NT Hassan Ridgeway \u2013 $100,000<\/p>\n

        WLB Dre Greenlaw \u2013 $29,412<\/p>\n

        CB Emmanuel Moseley \u2013 $176,471<\/p>\n

        FS Jimmie Ward \u2013 $117,647<\/p>\n

        That\u2019s a total of $1,167,647.<\/p>\n

        Now let\u2019s look at what players have LTBE incentives for 2022.<\/p>\n

        QB Jimmy Garoppolo- $5.65 million, consisting of 15 games of the $250,000 incentive for 25% or more playtime in any game, 9 of the $100,000 for each game he won while playing 25% or more, $500,000 for 1 playoff game with 50% of more, & $500,000 for 50% or more playtime in the conference championship game, but with the season-ending foot injury, he will only earn $3.2 million of it, while getting back $2.45 million in adjustments\/credits in 2023.<\/p>\n

        WR Deebo Samuel- $150,000 for having 3 or more rush touchdowns in 2021, which he achieved in this past Sunday\u2019s game against the Buccaneers.<\/p>\n

        TE Ross Dwelley- $152,500 for playtime, yards, touchdowns, & club achievement.<\/p>\n

        Next, let\u2019s look at what players have incentives that are considered NLTBE.<\/p>\n

        WR Deebo Samuel- $500,000 for 480 or more rush yards, and he has $150,000 already counting, so he can only earn $500,000, as the max value of the incentives are $650,000 per year.<\/p>\n

        WR Ray-Ray McCloud III- $700,000, breaks downs as $500,000 for 46% playtime, 40 catches, 400 receiving yards, 200 rush yards, & $200,000 for Pro Bowl selection.<\/p>\n

        C Jake Brendel \u2013 $152,500 for 50% Playtime, which he should achieve.<\/p>\n

        DE Samson Ebukam- $500,000 for sacks, & Pro Bowl selection.<\/p>\n

        DE Kerry Hyder Jr.- $750,000 for sacks.<\/p>\n

        DE Jordan Willis- $77,500 for 4 sacks.<\/p>\n

        NT Hassan Ridgeway- $700,000 for playtime, & sacks.<\/p>\n

        CB Charvarius Ward- $500,000 for Pro Bowl and\/or 1st<\/sup>\u00a0or 2nd<\/sup>\u00a0team All-Pro selection<\/p>\n

        SS George Odum- $1.5 million, but these are unknown, most likely for playtime, tackles, interceptions, and Pro Bowl selection.<\/p>\n

        Next, let\u2019s look at what kind of adjustments\/credits the 49ers can get back in 2023.<\/p>\n

        First off, the 49ers have a projected $8,871,901 in cap room, but that\u2019s with just 33 players signed, so when they have enough players signed to get to the top 51 rule, they\u2019d be $4,628,099 over the cap, so any amount will help greatly.<\/p>\n

        Before I go over what the 49ers can get back in 2023, let\u2019s look at the 30 players signed for 2023, with their cap number.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. LT 71 Trent Williams(2026)- $27,227,424<\/li>\n
        2. DT 91 Arik Armstead(2024)- $23,993,059<\/li>\n
        3. MLB 54 Fred Warner(2026)- $18,525,000<\/li>\n
        4. TE 85 George Kittle(2025)- $18,092,575<\/li>\n
        5. DE 97 Nick Bosa(2023)- $17,869,000<\/li>\n
        6. CB 7 Charvarius Ward(2024)- $16,405,000<\/li>\n
        7. RB 23 Christian McCaffrey(2025)- $12,000,000<\/li>\n
        8. QB 5 Trey Lance(2024)- $9,301,434<\/li>\n
        9. WR 19 Deebo Samuel(2025)- $8,609,412<\/li>\n
        10. FB 44 Kyle Juszcyzk(2025)- $6,565,221<\/li>\n
        11. WLB 57 Dre Greenlaw(2024)- $5,677,970<\/li>\n
        12. NT 99 Javon Kinlaw(2023)- $4,928,223<\/li>\n
        13. WR 11 Brandon Aiyuk(2023)- $3,987,248<\/li>\n

        17. SS 30 George Odum(2024)- $1,840,000<\/li>\n
        18. P 18 Mitch Wishnowsky(2026)- $1,700,000<\/li>\n
        19. DE 95 Drake Jackson(2025)- $1,339,180<\/li>\n
        20. CB 20 Ambry Thomas(2024)- $1,305,232<\/li>\n
        21. RB 32 Tyrion Davis-Price(2025)- $1,161,033<\/li>\n
        22. WR 6 Danny Gray(2025)- $1,146,569<\/li>\n
        23. TE 89 Charlie Woerner(2023)- $1,055,258<\/li>\n
        24. RG 74 Spencer Burford(2025)- $1,038,014<\/li>\n
        25. RT 76 Jaylon Moore(2024)- $1,020,759<\/li>\n
        26. CB 38 Deommodore Lenoir(2024)- $1,011,217<\/li>\n
        27. SS 29 Talanoa Hufanga(2024)- $1,000,038<\/li>\n
        28. RB 25 Elijah Mitchell(2024)- $985,893<\/li>\n
        29. CB 26 Samuel Womack III(2025)- $940,831<\/li>\n
        30. LG\/C 63 Nick Zakelj(2025)- $917,590<\/li>\n
        31. NT 93 Kalia Davis(2025)- $903,003<\/li>\n
        32. QB 13 Brock Purdy(2025)- $889,253<\/li>\n
        33. RB 24 Jordan Mason(2024)- $873,333<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Now, let\u2019s look at what the 49ers can get back in 2023.<\/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 practice squad salary is $358,200, but this is depended on him staying on the Raiders practice squad, or their 53-man roster.<\/p>\n

          WR Marcus Johnson- $250,000, as Johnson was signed by the Giants to their 53-man roster, so if he stays on their 53-man roster, they\u2019ll get that back as well.<\/p>\n

          DE Kemoko Turay- $801,622, this depends on Turay staying on the 49ers practice squad, and not getting either a promotion to the 53, or another teams\u2019 53.<\/p>\n

          CB Dontae Johnson- $447,667, as he is on the 49ers\u2019 practice squad, and has been elevated the max of 3 times, so they will get back most of the $560,000 they gave him this past offseason.<\/p>\n

          That\u2019s a total of $2,834,289.<\/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

          All of these players are on the 49ers practice squad, so if they stick, the 49ers should get back a total of $285,000.<\/p>\n

          They also gave out the following to players not on their, or another teams\u2019 practice squad.<\/p>\n

          C Dohnovan West- $100,000<\/p>\n

          DT Kevin Atkins- $10,000<\/p>\n

          MLB Jeremiah Gemmel- $70,000<\/p>\n

          That\u2019s a total of $180,000, but right now they wouldn\u2019t get back any of it since none are signed to a practice squad.<\/p>\n

          Also, I must note that both Leon O\u2019Neal Jr., & Sam Schlueter got guarantees, but because they were waived off of injured reserve with an injury settlement, the 49ers won\u2019t get those back per the CBA.<\/p>\n

          So, the 49ers should get back as much as $6,584,436 in 2023, which would put the team around $15.422 million in cap room to begin the 2023 offseason, but with just 33 players signed, with 51 signed they\u2019d be around $2 million under a projected $225 million cap.<\/p>\n

          Now, the 49ers will need salary cap room to sign their own free agents, or bring in any outside free agents, and sign their draft picks, so they\u2019d have to do some restructuring, with the candidates below, with cap savings.<\/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 the teams\u2019 pending free agents.<\/p>\n

          If the 49ers want to tender Kevin Givens, who\u2019s been having a good year thus far, they\u2019d either do the ROFR, which is $2.629 million, or the 2nd<\/sup>-round tender, which is $4.308 million.<\/p>\n

          I expect them to tender Colton McKivitz, which would be the original round tender of $2.745 million, and as for Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, if they let Azeez Al-Shaair walk, they may tender him, but no higher than the ROFR tender of $2.629 million.<\/p>\n

          As for the teams\u2019 ERFA, Jauan Jennings would require the $940,000 tender.<\/p>\n

          Of the teams\u2019 UFAs, the ones I\u2019d consider bringing back if I\u2019m the 49ers are 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 wouldn\u2019t expect these players, outside of Ebukam, Al-Shaair, & Moseley to cost more than a few million a year, some like Brendel, Hyder, & Gipson in the veteran minimum range.<\/p>\n

          I haven\u2019t listed Mike McGlinchey, Jason Verrett, or Jimmie Ward for different reasons.<\/p>\n

          McGlinchey will likely end up costing more than the 49ers would like to pay him, ala Laken Tomlinson, & D.J. Jones.<\/p>\n

          If we also add in projected draft pick cap numbers, which I posted earlier this week,\u00a0the 49ers would have a rookie pool of $7,551,148, but only the first 2 picks would count in the offseason, due to the top 51 rule.<\/p>\n

          If we add in those picks in, plus the 4 tenders, the 49ers would be $7,656,365 over the cap with 46 players signed, with 51 signed they\u2019d be $11,406,365 over, but this doesn\u2019t include credits, with the credits they\u2019d be $1,027,811 over with 46 players signed, or $4,777,811 over with 51 signed, so they\u2019ll need to restructure some players contracts, with the most likely ones being McCaffrey, & Warner, which would save a max of $18.052 million, which would give the 49ers $13.275 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
