The 49ers have met the minimum spending requirement for 2013-2016. Time to look ahead to the next four-year cycle.
Yesterday, we discussed the San Francisco 49ers current cap space, and how their cash spending looks heading into 2017. The NFL labor agreement has a minimum spending rule that requires 89 percent cash spending of the total salary cap from 2013 to 2016, and then again from 2017 to 2020.
The 49ers have met the 89 percent minimum for the 2013 to 2016 period, so I thought it would be useful to look at where things stand for the 2017 to 2020 period.
