The San Francisco 49ers currently boast the third most amount of cap space in the NFL heading into 2018 — $45,013,807, per Over the Cap.
This, despite dishing out some pretty lucrative contracts this offseason, namely to quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, running back Jerick McKinnon and center Weston Richburg.
And while many fans were hoping general manager John Lynch would have used more of that cap space to land big-name free agents this offseason, one of the bonuses behind the relative lack of action is the ability to offer extensions to on-roster players.
