So good. I'm really struggling on a lot of these last 7 or so combinations. 6 CB's or 5? 5 LB's or 6? Michell vs. Gallman. 6 or 7 WR's? Sanu/Matthews? Pruitt vs. Woerner. 9 or 10 DL with Willis back in 6 weeks. Injury questions with Tartt and Verrett.

I don't see them cutting both Hasty & Mitchell, Gallman can go on the PS without going through waivers.

Sanu is a lock at WR IMO, Matthews could go to the PS, or like I said, he should be available if needed. Woerner is a lock IMO, he's done too much good this offseason, improved as a blocker and pass catcher.

You need to keep 10 DL, I can't see them cutting or trading any of the 10 I have listed. It's a good problem to have, injuries will happen, so if/when Hurst & Willis come back, we'll likely have some sort of injuries.

I debated 5 or 6 LBs, but with an extra OL, I went with just 5 for now, since I think Flannigan-Fowles makes it to the PS, along with Hilliard & Sullivan.

As for CBs, I think 6 is too much, Johnson will be on the PS, also Mayden can play CB too.

Can't really argue any of these. Like your perspectives here.

I thought they'd at least cut 5-10 guys today. It's tomorrow by 4pm ET, I think.

Trey out 7 days smh, soft

They'll need someone other than Jimmy to take snaps for the next week or so. I don't see why they can't put Sudfeld on the PS either way. Trey should be good to go and suit up in two weeks against Detroit. I think they still only carry two QBs on the 53.

FYI, for those worried about Ha Ha not making the PS, he doesn't go through waivers, so he'll be told to stay around, and be signed to the PS, same with guys like Sudfeld, Coleman, Gallmanm, Wilson, and anyone with 4 or more accrued years.

Just want to point out AB that you have educated us on the technicalities of rosters. So many beat writers do not understand these complex rules and actually write inaccurate 53 roster projections or just admit they don't know how it works. Thanks for keeping us knowledgeable as we give our predictions on the 53! 49erswebzone is the bomb!

Yes, I am relieved we can put Clinton Dix and Gallman on the practice squad without going through waivers!

He already cost us 3 1st and a 3rd…..and now a roster spot.

Im joking here

So, AB, in this regard, you are not overly concerned with MyCole Pruitt's $637,500 guaranteed? Only that AA or Laken will have to restructure contracts?

yes.. some guys answered this like you did in the trey thread. thank you. hope you are right

They can have Sanu take the snaps while Trey is out.

This is really tough, I don't like eating money, but idk what they do, personally I think 9 OL isn't needed, but Brendel has looked real good.

The way I see it, the following 46 players are locked into spots IMO.

1. QB Garoppolo
2. QB Lance
3. RB Mostert
4. RB Sermon
5. RB Mitchell
6. FB Juice
7. WR Aiyuk
8. WR Deebo
9. WR Sanu
10. WR Sherfield
11. TE Kittle
12. TE Dwelley
13. TE Woerner
14. C Mack
15. OG Tomlinson
16. OG McKikvitz
17. OG Banks
18. OG Brunskill
19. OT Trent
20. OT McGlinchey
21. OT Moore
22. DE Bosa
23. DE Armstead
24. DE Dee
25. DE Ebukam
26. DE Key
27. DT Kinlaw
28. DT Givens
29. DT Street
30. NT Jones
31. NT Kerr
32. LB Warner
33. LB Dre
34. LB Harris
35. LB Al-Shaair
36. CB Verrett
37. CB Moseley
38. CB K'Waun
39. CB Ambry
40. CB Lenoir
41. S Ward
42. S Tartt
43. S Hufanga
44. PK Gould
45. P Wish
46. LS Pepper

That leaves the following in contention for 7 spots.

1. QB Sudfeld
2. RB Gallman
3. RB Hasty
4. WR Jennings
5. WR Benjamin
6. WR Hurd
7. WR Webster
8. TE Pruitt
9. TE Matthews
10. C Brendel
11. LB Griffith
12. LB Flannigan-Fowles
13. S Ha Ha
14. S Wilson
15. S Mayden

They're gonna keep for sure, 2 more WRs, a 5th LB, 4th Safety, leaving 3 spots open, I assume they keep a 4th RB, so it's down to a combo of a 3rd QB, 4th TE, 9th OL, 6th LB, and 5th Safety, I know Lance will be out 1 week, but I'd still put Sudfeld on the PS since he doesn't go through waivers. Yes the Pruitt thing sucks, we lose $500K in cap room by keeping someone making $850K, so I may have to go back and make some edits due to Shon Coleman's injury as well.

The following should start on injured or reserve lists.

RB Wilson
WR James
LT Coleman (If this does happen, it takes away $990K in cap room if they replace someone on the PS with another player making $252K)
RT Skule
DE Willis
DT Hurst
LB Kendricks
S Moore

As for restructures, I'm hoping just Armstead.
