49ers open to trading Dee Ford, Kwon Alexander, Marquise Goodwin, and Jaquiski Tartt, per report

The San Francisco 49ers are looking to free up some more salary cap room, according to Michael Lombardi of The Athletic. That isn't surprising. It is a bit of a shock that Lombardi states that the team is open to trading several of its players. They include pass rusher Dee Ford, linebacker Kwon Alexander, wide receiver Marquise Goodwin, and safety Jaquiski Tartt, per the report.


We already knew the 49ers were willing to trade Goodwin, per a previous report. The other names are new ones. Ford and Alexander joined the team last offseason. San Francisco traded a second-round pick to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for Ford and signed Alexander as a free agent.

That would be quite the overhaul for a defense that was among the best in the league last year. The unit ranked No. 2 in total yards allowed, No. 1 against the pass, and No. 8 in points allowed.

Alexander recently restructured his contract, freeing up some salary-cap space, so the inclusion of his name is curious. Although, he does still have hefty salaries in future years.

The 49ers currently own the No. 13 and No. 31 overall picks, along with five other selections in the backend of the draft. The team lacks a pick between rounds one and five, and a report on Monday morning states that it would be willing to trade down from either or both of its first-round selections.

Rumors and smokescreens typically emerge during the week leading to the draft, making it difficult for fans to know what to believe. We'll have to wait to see how (or if) this develops.

Offensive lineman Jon Feliciano and linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles recently re-signed with the San Francisco 49ers on one-year deals. OverTheCap.com has revealed the contract information for both deals. Feliciano signed a contract that includes the minimum base salary for a player with eight accrued seasons of experience—$1.21 million. Flannigan-Fowles' base salary is slightly higher, at about $1.77 million.

The linebacker's reduced impact is due to the 49ers using a portion of up to $1.45 million of salary that won't count against the salary cap for veteran players. The 49ers are paying Feliciano a
