With this roster the 49ers would have 42 players signed for 2026, accounting for $233,476,330, a dead money hit of $38,387,197, for a total of $271,863,527, putting the 49ers $33,136,473 under a projected $305 million cap, but with just 42 players, & with 51 players signed they\u2019d be $25,171,473 under.<\/p>\n

The 49ers should be able to carryover somewhere in the $26 million to $28 million into 2026, which would give the 49ers between $59.136 million to $61.136 million in cap room with just 39 players signed, or between $51.171 million to $53.171 million under with 51 players signed.<\/p>\n

As usual, the 49ers don\u2019t have many big free agents, with wide receiver Jauan Jennings, left guard Ben Bartch, left tackle\/right tackle Spencer Burford, right tackle Colton McKivitz, & defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos would be the teams\u2019 big 5 free agents.<\/p>\n

Of the 5 bigger free agents, I\u2019m sure the 49ers would love to keep Jauan Jennings & Colton McKivitz, possibly signing them to extensions either this offseason, or during the season, but they\u2019d have to sign both before their deals void, which would leave $10.548 million in dead money in 2026 between the two, $8.21 million for Jennings, & $2.238 million for McKivitz.<\/p>\n

As for the remaining free agents who would\/should be easy re-signings, with the 49ers probably most likely to look to keep strongside linebackers Luke Gifford, & Chazz Surratt, free safety Jason Pinnock, strong safety Richie Grant, punter Thomas Morstead, & long snapper Jon Weeks.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d expect the 49ers to tender or re-sign their 3 RFAs, tight end Brayden Willis, & defensive end Sam Okuayinonu, & nose tackle Kalia Davis, along with their lone ERFA nose tackle Evan Anderson.<\/p>\n

Now below are my reasonings for why I chose to keep, by position.<\/p>\n

At quarterback it\u2019s obvious Brock Purdy & Mac Jones are slotted in as the starter & backup, as the 49ers gave Purdy a 5-year, $265 million deal this offseason, while giving Jones a 2-year, $7 million deal, so those 2 are locked in, and if the 49ers were to keep a 3rd<\/sup> QB it\u2019d be down to Carter Bradley or Nate Sudfeld, but I expect them to keep just 2, with Bradley on the practice squad, & Kurtis Rourke on reserve\/NFI for 2025.<\/p>\n

At running back, I have 5, the obvious 4 are Christian McCaffrey, who looks to be 100%, Isaac Guerendo, Jordan James, & Kyle Juszcyzk, while I have the 49ers keeping veteran running back Jeff Wilson Jr., while Ke\u2019Shawn Vaughn is on the practice squad.<\/p>\n

At wide receiver, I have 5, with Jauan Jennings, who is currently looking for an extension, along with Ricky Pearsall as the teams\u2019 week 1 starters, along with Jacob Cowing, Jordan Watkins, & their 7th<\/sup>-round pick Junior Bergen, while Brandon Aiyuk begins on PUP, & Demarcus Robinson, who was given a 2-year, $8 million deal, will likely begin the 2025 season suspended, most likely for the first 3 games, which is due to a DUI from last year when he was with the Rams, and I have the team keeping veterans Russell Gage Jr., & Isaiah Hodgins, along with the 3rd<\/sup> being Terique Owens on the practice squad, so the 49ers should have plenty of depth going into the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

At tight end I went with 3, with George Kittle, who got a 3-year, $76.4 million extension, & free agent addition Luke Farrell as the top 2 tight ends, with Brayden Willis as the 3rd<\/sup> & final tight end, but I can see Jake Tonges making the 53, but for now I have him on the practice squad.<\/p>\n

On the offensive line, I went with 9, as I expect the 49ers to start Jake Brendel, Ben Bartch, Dominick Puni, Trent Williams, & Colton McKivitz to begin the 2025 season, while I have them keeping Nick Zakelj, Drew Moss & Connor Colby for interior offensive line depth, & Spencer Burford as the swing tackle, but I can see the team keeping someone like Austen Pleasants or Matt Hennessy for more offensive line depth, as for the practice squad I\u2019d have both Pleasants, & Hennessy on their, along with the international pathway program player Isaac Alarc\u00f3n on the practice squad, but he isn\u2019t eligible to play in any game, along with not counting against the salary cap or the teams\u2019 practice squad limit.<\/p>\n

On the defensive line, I feel they will keep 5 edge rushers, Nick Bosa, Bryce Huff, Mykel Williams, Robert Beal Jr., & Sam Okuayinonu, with Yetur Gross-Matos on PUP to begin 2025, along with 5 interior defensive lineman in Alfred Collins, C.J. West, Sebastian Valdez, Kalia Davis, & Evan Anderson, though I can see them keeping someone like Trevis Gipson at EDGE over either Beal, or Okuayinonu, & Jordan Elliott over one of Valdez, Davis, & Anderson for interior defensive line depth, but for now I have the 49ers keeping Gipson, Jaylon Allen, & Shakel Brown on the teams practice squad.<\/p>\n

At linebacker, this time I went with 6 linebacker, with Fred Warner, who got a new 3-year, $63 million extension, & either Dee Winters or 3rd<\/sup>-round pick Nick Martin starting opposite Warner, while I see them keeping Chazz Surratt, Luke Gifford, & Tatum Bethune for special teams depth, and I also have both Curtis Robinson & Stone Blanton on the practice squad, speaking of Robinson, he could very well take the 6th<\/sup> LB spot over Surratt.<\/p>\n

In the defensive backfield, I have the team keeping 6 cornerbacks, with Deommodore Lenoir, & Renardo Green starting, with Upton Stout, Siran Neal, Darrell Luter Jr., & Dallis Flowers as depth, and I have them keeping 4 safeties, Jason Pinnock, & Richie Grant starting, with Ji\u2019Ayir Brown, & Marques Sigle as backups, and I should note that Malik Mustapha, who would be a starter week 1, but he is on PUP after a torn ACL from the 49ers finale against the Cardinals last season, I can see the team keeping someone like Jakob Robinson, or Chase Lucas at cornerback over either Flowers or Luter, but for now I have all those 2 on the practice squad, along with Jaylen Mahoney, who can play both safety positions, as well as cornerback, and there\u2019s still a good chance the 49ers keep Tre Brown.<\/p>\n

Finally, the special teams unit, I have Jake Moody at place kicker, Thomas Morstead at punter, & Jon Weeks at long snapper, while guys like Gifford, Surratt, Neal, Flowers, & Sigle as key special teamers, while Bergen would be the teams\u2019 new returner.<\/p>\n
