The 49ers are hard at work with their offseason program, a.k.a. OTAs, being underway, but I want to look a bit into the future, just a couple months from now, when Nick Bosa will get his extension, and try to project a Bosa extension, also what it means for their current 2023 & 2024 salary cap situations with my projected contract.<\/p>\n

Currently Nick Bosa has a $17.859 million cap number, and the team should be able to save just under $10 million in salary cap room with a Bosa extension, which I’m projecting comes in at $35 million a year, over 5-years, signing him thru 2028.<\/p>\n

I would give Bosa $105 million in guaranteed money, with $82 million of it being fully guaranteed, that would make him the highest paid non-quarterback, in APY, total guarantees, and fully guaranteed money.<\/p>\n

I would give him a $35 million signing bonus, a $15.125 million option bonus due in 2024, which will prorate over 5-years, for cap purposes, along with guaranteeing his 2023, 2024, & 2025 base salaries fully, while also guaranteeing part of his 2026 base salary for injury, with it becoming fully guaranteed on April 1, 2025.<\/p>\n

I would also give him yearly $750,000 per game roster bonuses, & yearly $100,000 workout bonuses, both beginning in 2024.<\/p>\n

His 2023 base salary would come in at $1.08 million, the league minimum, 2024 would also be the league minimum of just $1.125 million, meaning his 2023 salary cap number would be just $8.08 million, while his 2024 cap number would be $12 million.<\/p>\n

As far as 2025-2028, of the $175 million in total new money, there would be $121.82 million in money spread out over those 4 years, with $3.4 million of it being his yearly per game roster bonuses & yearly workout bonuses, leaving $118.42 million, which I would give him a. 2025 base salary of $29.67 million, but I would also guarantee his 2024, & 2025 per game roster bonuses, & workout bonuses, meaning his 2025 base salary would actually come in at $27.97 million, for a 2025 cap number of $38.845 million, which is a large number, but something the 49ers can afford.<\/p>\n

As for what it would do for the 2023 & 2024 salary cap situations, the 49ers would save $9.779 million in salary cap room for 2023, putting them $20,101,233 under their adjusted cap, while the additional $12 million for 2024 would put the 49ers $25,683,528 over a projected $256 million salary cap, but as I’ve said, I liken 2024 to 2022, when the 49ers restructured George Kittle, & Arik Armstead to get under the salary cap, so don’t worry about that number, as the 49ers have several ways of creating cap room, with the options below.<\/p>\n

RB Christian McCaffrey \u2013 $8,472,000 (Restructure)<\/p>\n

WR Deebo Samuel \u2013 $15,877,600 (Restructure)<\/p>\n

TE George Kittle \u2013 $9,752,000 (Restructure)<\/p>\n

LT Trent Williams \u2013 $15,072,000 (Restructure)<\/p>\n

DT Arik Armstead \u2013 $12,960,000 (Extension or Restructure)<\/p>\n

MLB Fred Warner \u2013 $11,340,000 (Restructure)<\/p>\n

WLB Dre Greenlaw \u2013 $5,580,000 (Extension or Restructure)<\/p>\n

CB Charvarius Ward \u2013 $9,148,000 (Extension or Restructure)<\/p>\n

But there you have it, a projected Nick Bosa extension, with a look at both 2023 & 2024’s salary cap situations.<\/p>\n
