The San Francisco 49ers gained some salary-cap relief this week by restructuring the contract of running back
Jerick McKinnon, who has failed to play a regular-season snap with the team over the last two seasons.
McKinnon, 27, signed a four-year, $30 million deal with the 49ers in 2018. He was set to count $8.55 million against the salary cap in 2020. The final year of that deal has been eliminated, essentially making it a one-year contract.
Below is the contract breakdown of McKinnon's restructured deal, courtesy of
OverTheCap.com. The $4 million remaining from his initial contract's signing bonus has been spread out over the next two years, which is why you see information for 2021.
2020:
$910,000 base salary
$2 million prorated bonus
$250,000 per-game roster bonus ($15,625 per game)
$2.91 million salary-cap hit
2021:
No base salary
$2 million prorated bonus
$2 million salary-cap hit

Maybe Jimmy Garoppolo will be the San Francisco 49ers quarterback next season. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Tuesday that he expects that to be the case.
"I expect Jimmy to be our starter next year," Shanahan told reporters. "I mean, I expect him to come play with us this year (after he recovers from his ankle injury). We have six games left. We are not out of the playoffs yet. I've been on a team that was 3-6 going into a bye week that ended up winning their division.
"I think we have guys on this team capable of finishing this the right way. We've got to do it one game at a time, and I hope Jimmy can come back and be a part of that. But to think that we've

As the San Francisco 49ers struggle to find a pass rush due to several injuries along the defensive line, fans have to wonder what might have been had the team opted to keep defensive tackle DeForest Buckner.
Of course, that would probably mean no Arik Armstead. It would certainly mean no Javon Kinlaw. And it might also mean no Brandon Aiyuk. Buckner's trade to the Indianapolis Colts facilitated the signing of Armstead and the drafting of the other two.
Armstead has 1.5 sacks this season, following a 2019 campaign during which he led the 49ers with 10. San Francisco signed him to a five-year, $85 million deal this offseason.
Kinlaw, Buckner's replacement, has yet to earn his first sack. He has 19 tackles, a quarterback hit, and three passes defensed
