Thee only two things that stood out to me as things I wasn't sure about were:

(1) The APY on Ward being 5 (instead of the 9 or 10 I was expecting)

(2) Saving money next year by restructuring Ford (which really scares me given his injury history and seemingly chronic injuries -- I'd rather keep the flexibility).

And I just don't see how we save $36M by restructuring JG, Staley and Ford in the real world. It's certainly possible but unlikely. But AB knows his sh*t. Agree about Ward...$8-9M seems far more likely.

Hey NC why are you up so early on Sunday posting about cap space?

Haha. East Coast time zone baby!

I'm sure Paraag gets paid well but I'd hate to have that job. I always hated math and crunching numbers for a living would drive me nuts.

Haha, right? He's got a pretty large department and a lot of help.

I'm sure he's been working on this for quite a while now.

Interesting to see it when he presents the plan.

If this man can find a way to extend Buckner and Kittle, resign Armstead, Sanders, and Blair, and still be poised to re-up our FAs next year (I think Juice is the biggest one), he is truly a salary cap god.

Great as Paraag is, I think there need to be some moves beyond restructuring. For example, USA Today sportswriter Cary Edmondson's ideas:

1- Tag then trade Armstead...re-signing him would require a ton of salary. I get Paraag's a freakin' genius, but there are a number of other financial commitments upcoming, including extending Buckner, Kittle, re-signing Ward, potentially re-signing Sanders & Blair, etc. The idea is to gain solid draft picks in a trade. Lynch has no picks between rds 2-5...trading AA could be a big step toward closing that gap. Obviously, Lynch would have to improve the DL's depth.

2- Release Joe Staley. I get it, it'd be an unpopular move for his teammates and fans, but the BL is it would yield @ $11M in cap space. The other option is to restructure Joe's contract, which wouldn't yield as much cap space, but it'd help.

3- Release McKinnon & Coleman. The former's a risk at best to be productive and a costly one at that. Coleman's in his last year of his current contract. Cutting both would yield @ $9M in cap space. Mostert and Breida will be back, as will Jeff Wilson. Acquiring another RB wouldn't be expensive.

This looks like that write up from niner nation. Not a big fan of the moves minus the McKinnon cut
