The deadline passed for Kirk Cousins to sign a contract extension, and so we are left to wait until next offseason for this drama to play out. The San Francisco 49ers will have plenty of cap space next offseason if they want to pursue Cousins, but how much exactly?
Training camp gets going in nine days, and we’ll continue the process of figuring out the 49ers 53-man roster. With that and the Cousins issue in mind, I thought I’d take a look at a projected 53-man roster and the accompanying salary cap implications. Below I’ve outlined a possible 53-man roster, followed by what the 49ers salary cap will look like this year and next year.
