WOW! They opened up all that cap space right after all the free agents are signed and 1 day before the season started!! Genius! Like my dad always said when you really want to commit to something (like winning the SB) it’s best to drag your feet for 3 months and be non-committal and then at the very last second, go all in!
I've followed the NFL for my entire life (I'm 42) and still don't understand how the salary cap works. Every time a content creator tries to explain it, I still don't understand it. Where is a video that breaks this down in completeness that doesn't just make it sound like there is no cap really.
It's like credit. (1)You can borrow 'credit' on base salary. (2)Signing bonuses are spread out over the life of a contract. (3)Void years are a way to spread out the payment by adding years to the contract when the player is no longer on the team. *Example:* So Arik had a $16m base salary (or ~$1m per game). They convert $15m into a signing bonus (meaning he gets $15m now (and instead of $1m per game, he only gets $60k). So think of it as if you got paid your salary at the beginning of the year instead of every 2 weeks. From the cap pov, the $15m is spread out over 5 yrs (or $3m/yr). So instead of $16m on the 2023 cap, it's $4m on the 2023 cap (save $12m). The flip side is Arik's cap # goes up by $3m/yr for 2024-2027 even though his contract ends in 2024. If he gets a new contract in 2025, he'll essentially be on the payroll twice. Once with his new contract, once with his dead cap hit (see: Lavonte David).
@FakeAccount-px7md so the only real way this is sustainable is because the cap is always going up so "money now" is worth more to the team than money later?
@@travisobryan8460 Exactly and you can roll over cap space like you can roll over vacation days (...at least at some companies lol). So it makes sense to do. But you're still working with less cap space than a team that has no dead cap on their books.
The niners should have done this months ago so they could have resigned jimmy ward , and some d ends. Hopefully they make some good trades to help them get over the hump .
Yeah, so his dead cap (via a void yr) in 2025 used to be $6.7m, now it's %15.5m. Now he also has dead money in 2027. They can do this again next yr on the final year of his contract. That will increase his totals and have him with dead money in 2028. If they give him a new contract, he'll literally be on their payroll twice. Once with his new contract and once with his old contract.
Aloha hammer the 49ers front office with HC,GM. They are really smart how to handle contracts restructuring they save a lot of cap space money for next year because why receivers lineman defensive man Delgany, new contract rate hi hammer, aloha, and Mahalo from O’ahu Hawai’i this is 808-Stanley
Ty Jack you have become one of my favorites great work sir

Lol
It’s for option four just Incase it goes sideways and we really need to trade for Somone.
Get what you can for Kinlaw in a trade.Sign Matt Ioannidis DT,Melvin Ingram DE and OT Macclenden Curtis!
Standing ovation for Paraag and Jed. All these big Dawgs and still the most cap space.
Chandler Jones I believe
Paraag is the GOAT. We wouldn't have this team without him. Hes like a cheat code
Thanks Jack

The Niners have the most cap space in the league

We need one more piece rusher
This is at least the 2nd time Arik Armsteads contract has been restructured
Yeah, so his dead cap (via a void yr) in 2025 used to be $6.7m, now it's %15.5m. Now he also has dead money in 2027. They can do this again next yr on the final year of his contract.

The last time we went to Super Bowl we had a lot of guys on one of your deals.
Is it to get Brian Burns 😱🙌🙏
Freeing up cap room for next year's free agents .
So what do you think they are up to? Think they are just saving it for next year or is this the next step in going all in?
To me, this looks like they’re getting ready to absorb some more salary. Maybe a trade they’re eyeing.
So they are going the saints road. I hope this wont hunt us till the end of days.

Trade him!
Why?? People like you don’t know football and are dumb as hell. Dude is a good player. Our run defense is better when he’s in there
