The San Francisco 49ers own $16.3 million in salary-cap space, according to the NFLPA. That presumably includes the $2 million produced from the retirement of left tackle Joe Staley, but not bonuses, as noted by Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area.
The #NFLPA updated the #49ers cap space, as Joe Staley is set to count $2 million vs. cap in 2020. The #49ers have $16.3M in cap room, which does not include bonuses for draft picks. They have enough space to work out extension with George Kittle.https://t.co/DJQhe298Si

Also noted is that it does not include the 49ers' five draft picks, all of which remain unsigned.
Earlier this week, Maiocco estimated that the 49ers would sit at about $5.75 million under the salary cap after signing their undrafted free agents and once their draft picks are signed. That doesn't leave much wiggle room for San Francisco, which may have its roster essentially set for the remainder of the offseason.
"There's always an opportunity to get better," general manager John Lynch told NBC Sports Bay Area. "We do like where our roster is at. We're extremely happy with where it's at. I don't anticipate anything big coming -- and we are kind of nudged up against the cap, as well.
"So there's really not a lot of room to go do things like that. That's for good reason. We have a lot of really good players, and we're extremely excited about that."
As noted in Maiocco's tweet above, the 49ers currently have enough salary-cap space to potentially figure out an extension for All-Pro tight end George Kittle. Lynch said last week that the team hasn't put a timetable on locking up Kittle, but doing so remains a priority.
"George is certainly a priority," Lynch said. "I don't anticipate – you never say never – but George is going to be Niner. We think too highly of him. I think he loves the (environment).
"We got to find the right deal, and we'll continue working towards that. We're not going to put any timetable on that. But George is certainly is a priority for us. We love everything about him. We love everything he brings to the Niners."
