He's GTD like $9M next yr...IF they cut him they eat all that money.

If they trade them (pre-June 1st) they still eat half of it. He's on the team next yr

Thanks NY I thought this coming year was the year we would have to option him costing almost 15 mil.

We do but Deebo Samuel is approaching number one status very quickly so we might not need one. What we do need is to draft the best guard available at 32. That's our weakest position imo. At 32 we might be able to get the best zone blocking guard in the draft

I disagree. Brunskill and Garland have proved themselves to have starter talent. A trade down that gets a second part-time end rusher and a WR like Jauan Jennings.would be useful.

That would be a good route to go too. I just think our interior OL is the weak link to our team even though we have good depth. Wouldn't you rather have a great guard that could dominate rather than a serviceable one? I guess I value the lines over everything. I'm sick of DT's blowing up plays

Right. This is the offseason the Niners would have to pick up Thomas' 5th year option. But, obviously, that is unlikely. So, that makes 2020 Thomas' contract year.

I just hope for my own selfish reasons that some of these players try and stick together for another contract stretch. I get that they can probably push it and negotiate a few million extra with another team, however the environment they work in may not be worth it. Let's be honest here, the players that contributed and are due contracts will get paid very well, it's a matter of the details and if they are willing to make small sacrifices to keep this thing rolling.

I will never fsult a player for tsking more.

If they sign a 3yr deal for $30mil with the raiders over a 3yr $24mil with the niners.

That is $6 million out of their pocket at the. Start. Now throw in taxes at about 10%, $2.5mil.
Cost of living is obscene, a beautiful 4k sq ft home with 2 three car garages(a home gym?) In a gated community for$ 500k. Or a 1 bedroom 800 sq ft run down house with a driveway for $1.5 million, all while giving up an extra $8.5 million.

I don't know if this has been asked but how much cap space could be made if the team got rid of the following players via trade/cut/waive/release?

Goodwin, Pettis, Thomas, Witherspoon, McKinnon

Solomon Thomas (I'm not too sure we pay him bc he's not worth the price)

Hopefully that will give us room to sign AA & Ward. I can't believe I said that

Thomas isn't going anywhere, especially while still under his rookie deal.

Unless we can find some sucker to trade him to!

In that case the team NEEDS TO DO IT. Those guys are not worth holding on to.

If the team extends Buckner and or Kittle, depending on how they structure their contracts it can actually create more salary cap space this season. I think Goodwin and McKinnon are as good as gone. I think we'll see a couple more restructures as well.

i dont understand why iv read people say armstead should not get franchise tagged, like hes not worth it or something. think about what armsteads done this year in the context of his whole career and youl see hes the perfect candidate for the franchise tag.

the dude came out college way overrated, we drafted him in the middle of the first and hes been unable to play a 16 game season every year until now. one little injury after the other. even when he could get on the field he was very medicore. from what i recall he had good strength and thats about it. not worth where we picked him at all.

flash forward to 2019, our teams suddenly getting good, new HC, alota playoff potential, we added some edge rusher weapons, armstead "magically" has no injuries all the sudden. the dude went off this year an had a great season. great strength an push from the interior DL, great run stopper and most important of all played all 16 games with no injuries. coincidence? idk.

why the HELL wouldnt we want to lock up a strong interior DL guy like this for one more year, without having to commit to a big deal, to see if hes capable of sustaining this performance or not. in my opinion he has not earned a big contract yet, hes only done this one year(when we just happend to get good) but hes not someone we can afford to lose. so were stuck in a hard place right in the middle of do we sign him or let him walk. this is what the franchise tag was made for.

hes the perfect candidate for the tag this year. tag him, see if he can really play like he did in 2019 an see if hes really worth that big contract.

Him playing on the franchise tag is probably the least likely scenario, as they're short on cap space and of all the scenarios it's the most expensive scenario.

Restructure or not, the aforementioned players aren't worth the money paid to them. The team would be better off losing them and paying players who are worth the cap space.

Someone will give up something for him. If we trade him we get a bunch more cap space. Hell just give us a 6th and i'll be happy with the cap savings.

Not sure about that fully. Kittle is scheduled to make $2.2M for 2020. Extending him probably means he's getting around $12M APY. Buckner is scheduled to make $14.3M for 2020 and projects to make $16M. You can probably extend the years and spread that total $ out over the life of the contract but it's probably not going to lower it this year b/c of bonuses.
