On the eve of the NFL draft San Francisco restructured the contract of running back Christian McCaffrey. The move freed up $8.576 million, giving the 49ers $10.719 million in salary cap space.
Here are five players I think San Francisco should target with the additional cap space to enhance their roster.
1.) Justin Houston – EDGE, Ravens
If the 49ers are looking to add a situational pass rusher, look no further than Houston.
What separates Houston from the rest of the pass rushers on this list is his productivity does not require a high volume of snaps.
