NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco reported that he’s hearing the 49ers are being aggressive on the cornerback market, and they’ve reached out to the “top guys.” The 49ers are currently over the cap. But, as we’ve mentioned, a couple of restructures or extend a couple of contracts to create the cap space necessary.
Our resident salary cap expert, Jason Hurley believes the 49ers will end up somewhere between $36-$37 million range after they deal Jimmy Garoppolo.
An extension for Jimmie Ward paired with a Garoppolo trade would give the Niners upwards of $44 million in cap space.
