49ers enter offseason with lots of cap space

The 49ers brass has talked about ammunition this offseason, which includes plenty of room under the salary cap in 2016.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - While the 49ers interviewed head coaching candidate Hue Jackson for five hours on Sunday, one topic of discussion was likely the team's favorable salary cap situation.

San Francisco enters 2016 with the third most room under next season's salary cap, according to Overthecap.com, with a figure of over $53 million. That's after $12,206,686 in cap space rolled over from 2015, according to a report from the NFL Players Associated (h/t to our friends at Niners Nation for this report).
