I was just checking out the salary cap for next year and we currently have $40,731,082 according to over the cap (that's with 150 million as the cap...might be more).

If we move on from Kap,Brooks,Bethea,Pears,and Bellore we'd have a little over $ 70 million in cap space (less if Davis comes back)

I could be way off and was wondering if that sounds about right?

Per AB..."Right now we would be $42,923,584 under a $153M cap."

And here's more: http://www.ninersnation.com/2015/12/8/9854742/49ers-salary-cap-2016-projected-cap-roster-bonuses-potential-cut

So basically, we're the youngest team with a ton of money. I wonder who has the most cap space next year.

HUGE offseason for TB coming up. Lots of ammo and he needs to capitalize

Exactly!

Hopefully they get Wilkerson! Aka the next Justin Smith in free agency.

We NEED a new anchor for our defensive line , that would be HUGE

In a perfect world , Willis comes back , and we draft TWO pass rushing terrors at OLB to help Lynch with the pass rush , along with acquiring Wilkerson ......lets hope Trent uses that cap space and extra draft picks to wheel and deal, and get us players that can help immediately , I don't want us drafting anymore "injured projects" ...it's time to get fast healthy players on the roster

I'm starting to think we go this way in FA and the draft as well. Defense.

Get that defense back up to top 5...coupled with an efficient offense (Hyde/Gabbert + TE's/RB's in the passing game)...win with TOP and field position and TO battle.

Then also nab a couple top notch OL in FA and in the draft, try to find that big-bodied prototypical WCO for the ZWR position to compete with Smelter outside. Done.

hell yes, adding power to the defensive line is a priority, and I'm sure we could add a couple quality defensive lineman through agency , and using our draft picks towards improving the offensive and defensive line will be a huge plus ....and consistently throwing to our RB's and TE's will go a long way in creating a more versatile attack , because right now our attack is predictable, but I'm liking what I'm seeing in our offense using more WCO elements , Gabbert is effective in that capacity and could really blossom as our QB if we continue to go that direction

Every single top free agent in the NFL can't wait for this offseason. They all want to be a part of this organization and all the championships on the horizon.

I would be happy with Wilkerson, Ware, and Glenn. Those 3 would instantly make our team that much better.

Also would like a Carlos Rogers-esque CB pickup

Thank you J. So basically, once we take care of Brooks, Bethea, CK, etc. we could very well be top 3 in cap room. Excellent!
