Way-to-early off season 'retooling' plan.
Notes: Jimmy Garoppolo will only count $19.35M this year. Do not resign DeForest Buckner. He's only counting $5.79M in 2019 and then we can exercise his 5th year option ($10M) and then Franchise Tag him cheap ($14-$15M) since he plays on the interior. No rush. Pierre Garcon and Malcolm Smith are just too costly to cut so they add veteran depth for 2019.
Salary Cap: We're projected to have
$65.4M before cuts.
2019 Cap Cuts/Savings: Arik Armstead saves $9M + Garry Gilliam $5M + Cassius Marsh $4.2M + Earl Mitchell $2.95M + Garrett Celek $2.1M + Brock Coyle $1.8M + Dekoda Watson $1.5M + Malcolm Smith $1.25M + Pierre Garcon $1.2M + K'Wuan Williams $1.1M + Matt Dayes $645K + Trent Taylor $600K + Godwin Igwebuike $570K
2019 Total Cap:
$97.3M
Free Agency:
Over The Cap was used for free agency $ projections.
ER Trey Flowers 25 NE 89.7 #2 ED
$17M APY - Franchise tagging him would cost over $17M and NE may want to lock up LT Trenton Brown also who won't be cheap. A saturated market could bring the cost down some but pairing him on the strong side with Nick Bosa at LEO and throw in an excellent rotational ER Preston Smith, suddenly we have a strength.
FS Earl Thomas 30 SEA 91.3 #3 S
$11M APY - Absolute no-brainer and Adrian Colbert will learn from the master.
NT/DT Grady Jarrett 25 86.2 #13 DI
$10M APY - Huge upgrade over Earl Mitchell allows Buckner to stay at 3T and Solomon Thomas to move to Big End and we can cut Arik Armstead's $9M with depth with Street and Taylor.
SAM/ER Preston Smith 26 WAS 79.4 #16 ED
$9M APY - A real 6'6" 255 4.61 SAM who can cover and rush from the strong side and who never has to come off the field. Rotate with Bosa and Flowers or combination of all three in nickel.
ZWR Devin Funchess 24 CAR 69 #53 WR
$8M APY - Enormous catching radius, security blanket, excellent blocker in the run and screen game and a RZ target (21 TD's) who should thrive with Garoppolo and Kyle's play calling and route refinement (like Marquise Goodwin).
WILL Jordan Hicks 26 PHI 72.6 #19 LB
$7M APY - Veteran MIKE who moves to space at WILL to pair with Fred Warner and Preston Smith. Will learn both spots.
LCB Rashaan Melvin 29 OAK 56.9 #92 CB
$4M APY - Veteran CB depth who fits our prototype to compete with Witherspoon and Moore.
RG Mike Person 30 SF 75.5 #6 G
$4M APY - Reward our own with Joshua Garnett adding a push and depth.
