For the first time in a number of years, the San Francisco 49ers are going to be pressed into some tough salary cap decisions during the offseason.
Unlike previous years, when the Niners weren’t particularly good and didn’t have to worry about spending top dollar on less-than-stellar talent, cap space was something which played into the team’s benefit.
Coming off a close Super Bowl loss and still favored to make it deep into the playoffs in 2021, the 49ers now find themselves in a precarious salary cap situation — projected as $13,123,285 according to Over the Cap.
