Thanks for sharing this info with us. I was searching for a site online in which I can find real estate development business plans but I don't know where I can find them. Can you guys please help me in searching for those plans online? I will be very much thankful to you. I am waiting for your reply.

Go with a Tyrod Taylor.

That's my preference as a backup. Good enough to start if needed for a couple games, don't have to change up the offense for him, and he's a solid locker room guy that no doubt will help Trey a lot.

But good backups are around 10 mil.

Can we keep the gang together?

AB, any thoughts on if we are able to keep Arden Key and company?

Yes I do believe they can keep their key FAs, it'll all come down to structure of the deals. I think they can keep Arden, Laken, Jones, & K'Waun on multi yr deals, as well as guys like Sherfield, Moore, Tartt on 1yr deals, while also giving Al-Shaair a multi yr deal, keep Street & Brunskill who are RFAs, & tender our ERFAs(Hasty, Jennings, McKivitz, Givens, & DFF), & yes extend Bosa & Deebo.

Thats music to my ears...thanks

Updated offseason plan, https://49erscap.com/index.php/2022-offseason-plan/

Current players hit NLTBE incentives per my source(s).

LG Laken Tomlinson - $500,000 out of $600,000 for 90% play time & 49ers making playoffs(he had 100% play time)
RT Tom Compton - $137,500 out of $137,500 for 50% play time(he had 52% play time)
DE Arden Key - $100,000 out of $100,000 for sacks & play time(he had 6.5 sacks, & 35% play time, not sure what the thresholds were, but was told by my source he hit the entire $100K)

Current Player didn't hit his LTBE incentive.

WLB Marcell Harris - $50,000 for 50% play time(he had 35% play time)

The 49ers should get back the following in credits for base salary guarantees.

QB Nate Sudfeld - $252,000
RB Wayne Gallman II - $137,500
TE MyCole Pruitt - $500,000
WLB Elijah Sullivan - $95,000

Also, they should get back the following in credits for per game roster bonuses not earned.

RB Raheem Mostert - $109,375
WLB Marcell Harris - $5,882
CB Jason Verrett - $705,882

49ers current projected credits(adjustments) is $1,118,139, & carryover would be, by my numbers, $2,176,181.

For 2022, right now I have them projected to be $6,261,403 under the cap with just 31 players signed, 51 are required for true cap room, which would mean at least 20 players making $705K each, so $14.1M, meaning they'd be just $7,838,597 over, before letting Jimmy go, which would save $24.845M, leaving them with $17,006,403 under the 2022 cap, which will be at least the ceiling of $208.2M, hopefully either the cap goes higher, or the 49ers get more adjustments(credits), they had over $11M for 2021, but that was mainly due to paybacks from contract restructures(Kwon, Richburg, etc...), we'll also see if the 49ers go after any of Richburg's prorated money from 2021 & beyond, he counted $3,512,791 in 2021, & counts $3,453,651 in 2022 in dead money.

If the 49ers can release Dee Ford, by not picking up his $4.6M roster bonus, which is injury guaranteed, fully within the first 5 days of the new league year, which begins the day after the super bowl. If they can decline it, they save $2,090,001, but it would really be $1,385,001 after top 51, if they can't decline it, meaning Dee can't pass a physical, then they can June 1 him, saving $2.4M, but actually more likely $1.505M after top 51, since by the time June 2 comes around, someone making the minimum of $895K would take his place, assuming they have enough guys signed to veteran minimum salary benefit deals(players gets his minimum base salary, so say Tom Compton, he's get $1.12M, but only count $895K, plus up-to $152,500 in bonuses if he gets any).

Also, something I didn't factor in is draft picks, right now according to OTC, their 8 projected picks(our 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, DEN's 6th, & 3 projected comp 7th's), they'd cost us, as of now, $6,890,427 in cap room, but, really only their 2nd, 3rd & 4th rd picks would count in the offseason($3,151,325, plus the other 5 picks prorated bonuses of $214,102, meaning they'd need $3,365,427 in cap room for their picks, but this will vary based on how many picks, & where they land).

So, if the 49ers advance further in the playoffs, their 2nd, 3rd, 4th, & 5th rd picks would end up being cheaper due to being later picks.

With my offseason plan, we'd have $4,648,620 in cap room before their picks are signed, so $1,283,193 after their picks were to be signed, but I don't have them adding anyone in FA, since it's way too early, but they'll need to add a vet QB, someone like Tyrod Taylor, we could easily sign him to a 1yr deal worth up to $10M, but with a good amount being NLTBE incentives, so a lower cap number, the reason for NLTBEs would be if for some bad reason Trey gets hurt, and Taylor would need to play.

I'll keep everyone updated here, on 49erscap.com, & on twitter(@49erscap)

Thanks everyone, love all of you.

Thanks for the info. Given that a back up QB might go for $10, Jimmy saves about $14 and change in cap?

Depends, a Tyrod Taylor might cost up-to $10M, meaning say $5M counts, but $5M is NLTBE incentives, as for Jimmy, we save $24.725M-$24.845M, but due to being over the cap when we have 51 players signed, it'll give us more likely between $17M if all 20 other players(only 31 signed), sign for rookie minimum($705K), but that's unlikely due to having 5 ERFAs who will be tendered(Hasty, Jennings, McKivitz, Givens, & DFF), all but Jennings will get the $895K tender, Jennings gets the $825K tender.

Plus we have RFAs(Cracraft, Brunskill, Street, & Al-Shaair), Cracraft won't be tendered, more likely, if he isn't cut to bring Sanu off of IR or someone else in for the playoffs, he'll easily sign a 1yr $965K non GTD deal for camp, as for Brunskill & Street, Brunskill would get the $2.433M Right of First Refusal tender, which would give us no compensation if lost, Street would get the $2.54M Original Round Tender, so if lost we get a 4th, Al-Shaair would likely get the 2nd rd tender($3.986M), but I see them extending him to a multi-year deal, 3-4 yrs, $3.5M-$5M a yr, with a low 2022 cap number, also I can see them signing Street & Brunskill to 1yr deals worth in the $1.265M neighborhood, less than their tenders would be, like we did with Jeff Wilson Jr., Ross Dwelley, & Marcell Harris, while Al-Shaair would be like Moseley, multi-year deal, still lower than the original round tender, but again, $3.5M-$5M a yr IMO.

I have Al-Shaair at right now a 3yr deal worth $3.5M a yr, with a $1,298,333 cap number for 2021, I have his 2022 base of $965K GTD, $1M signing bonus, plus his 2023 base GTD for injury($2.5M), fully on April 1, 2023.

Plus we'll sign our practice squaders, I have them with all 19, likely won't happen, most would be place holders till we sign UDFAs, but they would be the following with cap numbers.

QB Nate Sudfeld – $895,000
QB Tyler Bray – $895,000
RB Brian Hill – $895,000
FB Josh Hokit – $705,000
WR Connor Wedington – $705,000
WR Austin Mack – $825,000
TE Jordan Matthews – $895,000
C Jon Halapio – $965,000
RT Wyatt Miller – $705,000
RT Alfredo Gutierrez – $705,000
DE Alex Barrett – $825,000
NT Darrion Daniels – $825,000
NT Chris Slayton – $705,000
WLB Curtis Robinson – $705,000
SLB Mark Nzeocha – $895,000
CB Luq Barcoo – $825,000
CB Lavert Hill – $705,000
CB Darqueze Dennard – $895,000
FS Doug Middleton – $895,000

Again, yes that's a lot of our own FAs, but 19 are PS players, guys like Hokit, Daniels, Robinson, Nzeocha, & maybe Sudfeld, Bray, & Dennard would make it to camp.

So, if we factor in say these deals below, they add up to $15.465M for the PS players, $4.405M for the ERFAs, & $4,793,333 for the RFAs, for a total of $24,633,333, but that would give the team 60 players signed.

So, those 8 lower players would count $5.76M(7 at $705K, 1 at $825K), leaving us before carryover & credits, $16,031,249 over the cap, with the carryover & credits, we're $12,641,929 over the cap, so when we offload Jimmy, hopefully for 1 or more picks, we'd save $24.725M, which would leave us with $12,083,071 under the 2022 salary cap, but that's with 59 players signed/tendered, including our 5 ERFAs(Hasty, Jennings, McKivitz, Givens, & DFF), and our 4 RFAs(Cracraft, Brunskill, Street, & Al-Shaair), with IMO Hasty, Jennings, McKivitz, Givens, Brunskill, Street, & Al-Shaair locks to make the 2022 roster right now, while McKivitz, Givens, & Hasty would be RFAs in 2023, Jennings a ERFA again, Al-Shaair signed through 2024, & Cracraft, Brunskill, & Street UFAs in 2023.

Then we can look into re-signing the likes of Laken Tomlinson(his deal voids in late February), Arden Key, K'Waun Williams, & D.J. Jones to multi-year deals, while keeping guys like Trent Sherfield, Jaquiski Tartt, Tom Compton, Tarvarius Moore, Jordan Willis, & Jake Brendel to 1-year vet minimum deals, I'd give Tartt the fourth year qualifying contract, which would see him get a $152,500 signing bonus, he'd also get a $2.37M base salary($1.12M counts, he gets $1.25M more than that minimum), he'd get that $2.37M base GTD, but again only $1.12M counts, so a $1,272,500 cap number, hoping he'd go for it.

I'd give Sherfield, & Moore, and possibly Compton $152,500 in bonus money.

And, yes we can extend Bosa & Deebo, with Bosa, he has a $4,305,225 training roster bonus, so we can do similar to what we did with Fred Warner, but turn that roster bonus into a signing bonus, add $1,694,775 of cap room to create a $30M signing bonus, $6M in prorated bonuses, but his cap number only goes up by just $1,694,775.

As for Deebo, who has a projected $4,890,519 cap number, same thing as Warner, lower his new base salary($3.936M) to league minimum of $965K, give him a $15M signing bonus, only puts that $4,890,519 cap number to $4,919,519, only a $29K increase.

I can see the 49ers extend Dre Greenlaw to a similar deal to Al-Shaair, $3.5M-$5M a yr, that way we can keep the 3 LBs(Warner, Dre, & Al-Shaair) all together at an affordable rate, yes Warner is expensive, but worth it, & if we can get Dre & Azeez for a combined $10M a yr, that's huge IMO.

Some ways to make more cap room would be the following.

Restructure George Kittle($8.332M saved), Arik Armstead($10.424M saved), Redo/Extend Jimmie Ward($6.224M saved), Samson Ebukam($3.982M saved), & Emmanuel Moseley($2.692M saved).

Also by doing a pseudo extension, where we add 4 void years to Mike McGlinchey's deal, we'd save $7.876M, but it leaves a $5.907M dead money hit in 2023.

As for Dee, if we can decline his $4.6M injury GTD roster bonus, we gain $2,090,001, but it'd be between $1,385,001-$1,265,001 after top 51, if not, we can June 1 him, we'd gain $2.4M, but it'd really be $1.505M after top 51 with a guy making $895K replacing him.

So there's way to make cap room for free agent signings, and in season cap room.

So there's way to make cap room for free agent signings, and in season cap room.

Wow that's a lot of work, thank you for this breakdown. It's reassuring at least that the team appears to have the room to re-sign Deebo and Bosa, as it is becoming clear that they are the game changers for the team. Deebo kind of is the offense, or the identity of it. So much of what he does creates problems for the defense and opens up other players for single coverage looks (Jennings, Aiyuk).

Thanks for this excellent breakdown.
In my opinion i would never keep Ebukam for north of 8 Million Cap Space, more then Warner counts against.
Also i would not keep McGlinchey at 10Mil+.
But again, i am at not nearly skilled in Cap Space Management nor an Executve, Coach or anything.
Those two jump out of you 71 in my opinion.

Great job as always AB81RULES!

Hey AB what's all this winning going to translate to on the cap space front? I mean there will be some heroes that will have to be extended like Deebo etc. If you would be so kind as to give us your best bottom line projection to have a team that can back up and win next season. And take injuries out of the equation since the FO seem to do also.

If we are moving on from JG I say let's keep Sudfeld as backup. Trey ride or die we shouldn't be playing the backup anyway unless something went horribly wrong. Really powerhouse those cap dollars to non QB positions that's how it's done when you have the rookie QB contract.
