Saw your other post about not being able to afford him. He's dirt cheap this yr and I'm gonna go ahead and say he restructures his contract (more GTD $) which can lower is cap hit and push stuff down the road.
benefits of having a rookie QB contract.
unless i am wrong,
49ers are around 5 million of the cap invested in RBs yesterday.
If they cut Coleman, that is @4 million (yesterday).
When Mitchell comes back if they cut another back without trading for CMC then it is down to @3 million.
in the short term if they roster Mitchell, TDP and CMC that puts the RBs @14 million. Bears are @ 19m , Dallas @ 18m, and saints @17m for comparison.
Not drafting those 4 traded picks amounts to @ 4 million in cap savings. (yes it gets murky with young guys being cheaper then the guys they are replacing).
You replace those 4 guys with 6/7th round guys or Rookie Free agents and it nets you @ 3 million in savings.
CMC's worst contract year was @12 million on the 49ers books from what was posted, but really without the salary cap impact from the picks, and the loss of at least 1 RB not being carried by the team going forward and that 12 million is really 7/8 million.
It really is not a bad value for a guy who has superstar potential, with a skill set that should really age well (rare for RBs).
