...current salary cap in the NFL.

49ers know how to create cap space but there is obviously a move they can make quickly to clear up a bunch more. Here's hoping that's the trade we hear over draft weekend and then we get the Deebo deal done.
lol everything goes back to Jimmy as the dead weight and he wants a package deal with deebo to a desperate useless team lol ROFL LMAO..
Jimmy's salary is an issue but it's not a huge one. The team can easily structure his salary where he won't get major money until 2023 where Jimmy is off the books one way or another. Many teams have done that when they're tight on cap space. Just like when we had a ton of cap space we signed FAs by front loading their contracts.
Davante Adams cap hit this year is under $9 million. It blows up to $30 million next year. Same thing happened with the big contracts to Mahomes and Josh Allen. Low salary % year they signed so they can get everyone else on board and then they blow up...which is why Chiefs had to move Hill cuz Mahomes is now finally hitting those big numbers in his deal. His cap hit was $7.5 mil last year, this year it's almost $36 mil.
But no question that agent is trying to push up their price and hoping he can get more money up front if he can help it so forcing a trade to teams who have more money to spend now would likely accomplish that.
