here<\/a>, which is my offseason plan, current as of today.<\/p>\nI believe the 49ers will tender all of their RFA, & ERFA\u2019s, while signing most of their practice squaders to reserve\/future deals.<\/p>\n
In order to tender strongside linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, & defensive tackle Kevin Givens, it will take at least $2.629 million, but I\u2019d say both are worth the tender amount, but the 49ers could look to lock these two up on cheap multi-year deals, similar to what they did with Emmanuel Moseley back in 2021.<\/p>\n
Now, to tender left tackle Colton McKivitz, it\u2019ll take a tender amount of $2.745 million, while tendering wide receiver Jauan Jennings will cost just $940,000<\/p>\n
This would give the 49ers 37 players either signed, or tendered, with them being around $12,344,009 under their projected adjusted cap, which would come in at $237,449,226, meaning they can spend up to that amount on their 2023 roster, but the $12.344 million in cap room is with just 37 players, by adding in enough for 51 players, the 49ers would be $2,474,009 under that adjusted cap, due to having 14 players making at least $750,000 being signed to what will likely be reserve\/future deals, which I mentioned earlier.<\/p>\n
If the 49ers do sign their practice squaders, all 17 of them, their salaries would be below.<\/p>\n
RB Tevin Coleman \u2013 $940,000
\nWR Tay Martin \u2013 $750,000
\nWR Willie Snead IV \u2013 $940,000
\nWR Dazz Newsome \u2013 $870,000
\nC Keith Ismael \u2013 $940,000
\nRG Jason Poe \u2013 $750,000
\nLT Leroy Watson \u2013 $750,000
\nRT Alfredo Gutierrez \u2013 $750,000
\nDE Alex Barrett \u2013 $870,000
\nDE Kemoko Turay \u2013 $940,000
\nDT Michael Dwumfour \u2013 $870,000
\nWLB Curtis Robinson \u2013 $940,000
\nSLB Marcelino McCrary-Ball \u2013 $750,000
\nCB Dontae Johnson \u2013 $940,000
\nCB Qwuantrezz Knight \u2013 $750,000
\nCB Janoris Jenkins \u2013 $940,000
\nFS Tayler Hawkins \u2013 $750,000<\/p>\n
This would put the 49ers only $154,009 under their projected adjusted cap, which means they will need to do some cap maneuvering to get more salary cap room, with the following players making the most sense 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, I doubt the 49ers will touch Arik Armstead\u2019s deal, as it would make it impossible to get out of his deal in 2024, I also don\u2019t see them touching George Kittle\u2019s contract, as they already restructured it, along with Armstead\u2019s this past March, just to be under the 2022 salary cap.<\/p>\n
So, I\u2019d expect them to most definitely redo Christian McCaffrey\u2019s deal, and potentially Trent Williams\u2019, and\/or Fred Warner\u2019s deals, despite the fact that the 49ers restructured Trent Williams\u2019 deal this season to gain extra, much needed cap space.<\/p>\n
If the 49ers restructure just McCaffrey, & Warner\u2019s deals, they\u2019ll save $18.052 million, which would give them plenty of money to re-sign, or sign replacements for players they end up losing in free agency, plus pay their draft class, which only the 2 3rd<\/sup>-round compensatory picks would count against the top 51 in the offseason.<\/p>\nThe 49ers have 2 big decisions to make in the offseason, 1. They need to either exercise of decline the 5th<\/sup>-year options of wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, & defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw, which would cost the team $13.511 million for Aiyuk, & $9.652 million for Kinlaw, and 2. Extend defensive end Nick Bosa, the front runner for NFL Defensive Player of the Year, which will likely come in around $35 million a year, and nearly $110 million in guaranteed money, with over $80 million of it being fully guaranteed.<\/p>\nNow, I know some may be worried about the Bosa extension, especially after what we all went through with the Deebo Samuel contract talks, but I\u2019d expect this deal to be done smoother, as there\u2019s really no one else that will set the EDGE\/Non-QB market now that Aaron Donald makes an average of $31,666,667 a year.<\/p>\n
Well, there you have it, a look towards the 2023 offseason, but there\u2019s still business to be taken care of this season for the 11-4 49ers, NFC West Champions, as they look to potentially finish the season 13-4, & make a deep run, maybe as far as Super Bowl Champions, so enjoy the rest of the season, & the playoffs.<\/p>\n
