The San Francisco 49ers will have a few roster decisions to make after this season. It won’t be long until Nick Bosa is the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL, and possibly history.
But the team may be forced to decide between a couple of their top-end players, including Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk. The one position that ties up the bulk of a team’s salary cap, quarterback, isn’t an issue for the Niners and shouldn’t be for another year or two.
Pro Football Focus went through each team and evaluated their current salary cap situations, with key factors such as top 51 veteran valuations, rookie contract players, 2023 free agent projections, total prorated money, and projected effective cap space.
