49ers 2026 Salary Cap Thread, 2026 Cap Room=$46,322,300 as of 1/26/26 on a $305M cap

The NFL hast to do something about deals like the Saints made with Hill. It's one thing to work around the cap But it's another thing to make a joke of a contract just to get under the cap. They have to set some rules because the Niners have always been responsible in recent memory and other teams get away with being completely irresponsible just to keep their better players while we are losing players. We need to start doing what other teams are doing I don't care.

Niners can do the same thing.

Saints are restructuring QB Taysom Hill's contract to create cap room. Details are great: it's a 4-year, $140 million contract extension - but all years are voidable and it's a mechanism to free up cap space this year, per source. It saves Saints over $7.5M against cap this year.

Salary cap is a f**king joke

It's all voidable yrs, it's not real money

Yeah, the Saints should be issued some sort of fine for attempting this.

What is the point of this? Just so he can say he makes $140 million? If he's never going to get it why even do it?

Niners should do that with Jimmy. Give him a 3 year extension, all voidable years.

Jimmy needs to take a paycut.

It's not real. Teams use it to move on from average players. If you really want a player the cap will never stand in your way.

Yup, like Eric Davis always says, "If they really want you, they can sign you."

If the league truly wants everyone to play on an even playing field when it comes to the cap, they need to change alot of the rules. Here is some I would consider.

1.You can only restructure a player's contract once. After the 1st time you can't touch it again until it runs out. If you give that player an extension prior to his current deal running out you could only touch the extended years.

2.Don't keep raising the cap. Once this Pandemic ends pick a number and stick with it. Teams have no issue with restructuring a bunch of players at one time because they know the cap will keep going up.

3.Don't allow voidable years.

Taysom hill got a pay raise so jimmy will not be taking a pay cut.

My guess... Saints needed immediate cap relief and Hill needed his enormous ego fed. This is what that combination looks like. The joke is on Hill and he doesn't even know it.

No one has found a loophole that lets them gain a competitive advantage and pay players but not have it count against the cap.

The Brees retirement now adds another 22 million to the Saints Cap. Mickey Loomis should be fired after the draft.
should have never been this much over the cap.

Also, Voidable years have been used before.

What's Juszczyk's cap hit for 2021, AB?
