AB - how likely do you think it is that we do some more contract restructures to clear additional cap space to have during the season and for extensions like Bosa?

also, what do you anticipate happening with CMC contract since he doesn't have any guaranteed money left? Do you think he would restructure to help the team in the short term and lock himself in some money for future seasons?

Don't have to clear cap space for Bosa. Bosa's extension will actually lower his 2023 cap. They should gain like $13 Million in cap space after his extension. It's why I wanted them to extend him prior to free agency.

Correct, signing bonuses are usually paid upfront, unless it's a big bonus, then they have installment payments that the team makes to the player, the player gets the bonus by the end of the league year usually, you'll see top draft picks get this, they won't get their signing bonus all upfront, but they get by the end of the league year.

Hmm very interesting. Do you know they do that sometimes? Is more of just a "cash on hand" thing? Or is it more of a motivation factor?

Whoever drafts that DT Carter from Georgia should DEF do that with him. Hahaha dude doesn't seem motivated at all

I have a question - why would we make his extension where we have an additional $13M for 2023? What's the benefit?

wouldn't it be more beneficial to pay him more this year, like we already are, to lessen the hit down the road?

i really don't know the answer. Hahah I'm just trying to understand all the levers here. I just worry about the salary cap cause we have a lot of huge salary hits coming 2024+

The team's going to need cap room for in season moves, I did a mock roster on my site, and they'd need to redo someone to have cap room, or when they sign Bosa, they'll need to lower the number down, plus it would help with carryover, if the 49ers don't use the money in season.

Welcome back, AB! So glad to see you back on the 'zone!

Read your article on your site, and I totally agree with what you wrote. Breaking it down in multiple facets, it's clear as day that the 49ers aren't gonna trade Lance.

On a side note, I saw on your site you're from New York. I've been wanting to find a place in NYC to watch 49ers games. If you have any recommendations, I'd appreciate it!
