I agree we need to draft better, but to get rid of guys like CMC, Warner, Kittle, Bosa would be highly dumb and hurt the 2026 cap, they lose over $44.629M in cap room by trading or cutting them pre June 1, and the only players that they can restructure would be Trent($16.728M max savings) & Brock($5,664,800 max savings) and the only players we can cut to save any real cap room are Huff($5.392M), Brendel($2.967M), and Winters & Brown($3.674M each), which would leave the 49ers with $32.188M in cap space room with huge holes at RB, TE, EDGE, & ILB, especially when they have serious needs elsewhere, plus by doing this it signals that the 49ers aren't serious about competing at all, then why would anyone come here?
Especially because those players are still productive! Too many people want to gm like it's Madden. You need a mix of young guys and vets
