On Wednesday, the NFL announced a 2021 salary-cap figure of $182.5 million per team. That put the San Francisco 49ers at $23.98 million under the cap, per OverTheCap.com. That's not bad for a team that was, at one point, projected to have under $13 million in cap space.
OverTheCap.com updated its figures for all 32 teams and, a day later, the 49ers are now estimated to have $24.85 million available. That's good news for a team that hopes to rebound from a six-win season, re-sign some key impending free agents—like offensive tackle Trent Williams—and add to its roster.
Only 10 teams have more salary-cap space than San Francisco, per OverTheCap.com. Nine teams are over the salary cap limit and must get under by the start of the new league year on Wednesday, March 17.
Below is a breakdown of the salary-cap space from OverTheCap.com for all 32 NFL teams, ranked from the most available money to the least. A negative amount indicates that a team is over the cap.
