actually the new CBA means it is about at most $2-3M for the first year of the average 7 round draft class. MM says we'll likely only need $2M for this class when it is all said and done. (Remember we may have 12 picks but only 3-5 of them will make the final 53, the rest will be cut or on the PS.)

@AlbertBreer4 minsBeen told the 49ers aren't interested in DeSean Jackson. Right now, they have $4.22M in cap space. And they have to budget for Kaepernick.
Makes perfect sense. We don't have the money, and the priority should be preserving cap space to extend our franchise QB.
Actually quite the opposite, go read MM's article about Kap's possible extension, points out that Flacco's $120M deal was structured so he had base salary of just $1M in the 1st year before it jumps up to $13-14M in the second.
Baalke and Paraag will find a way to creatively manage the cap, e.g. Willis' 2010 extension that crammed $17M into the books in 2012 or 2013 (I admittedly forget the year but point remains the same).
If they want to acquire Jackson and extend Kap they could do it, especially with the cap projected to hit the $155-160M range in 2016.
Now that I've contributed to this thread I'm going to ignore it until I see that we've actually traded for Jackson, he's been sent to NE, or if a week passes I'll assume he's in Philly for the next year at minimum. Good day everybody.
