This past Saturday it was reported by ESPN’s Field Yates that several NFL players had restructured their contracts, including 49ers C Weston Richburg, but while it’s unknown the details, if Richburg lowered his base salary in 2020 from $6.5 million to say $1 million, it would free up $4.49 million in cap room.<\/p>\n
This restructuring comes off the heals of the 49ers redoing Kwon Alexander’s deal a few weeks back, where they created over $8.1 million in 2020 cap room.<\/p>\n
Also of note, despite likely falling shy of his 90% play time, Richard Sherman was given his $1 million incentive as a bonus, it won’t count next year, but it’s a great gesture on the part of the 49ers organization. It’ll go along way in securing talent in the future.<\/p>\n
Also with Jimmie Ward playing most of the game last night in Seattle, where the 49ers won the NFC West, and now hold the #1 seed in the NFC, Ward earned a $500,000 incentive for 75% play time. If the 49ers re-sign Ward, and he has incentives in his deal, this $500,000 will likely count against the cap in 2020.<\/p>\n
Also Raheem Mostert has a $1 million incentive for play time and rush yards, he finished the year with 772 rushing yards, 8 rush TDs, and 2 receiving TDs, but the threshold is not known at this time, I’d imagine Mostert hit some of the incentives, which would count in 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
