The San Francisco 49ers made another move to add salary-cap space. On the same day the team restructured cornerback Charvarius Ward's deal, it restructured linebacker Fred Warner's. ESPN's Field Yates was the first to report the news.
The move creates $9.5 million in salary cap space for the Bay Area team. Paired with Ward's restructuring, the 49ers created nearly $20 million of additional cap space.
The 49ers restructured the contract of LB Fred Warner, creating $9.5M in cap space, per source.
In 2021, Warner and the 49ers agreed to a five-year, $95.225 million deal, including $40.5 million guaranteed. He was slated to count $18.525 million against the team's 2023 salary cap. NFL teams must be under the $224.8 million salary cap by the start of the new league year on Wednesday at 1 p.m. PT.
