It was hard for San Francisco 49ers fans to imagine what the next season would be like for the team after their heartbreaking loss at Super Bowl LVIII. While the loss was one of the reasons why the coming offseason has a bitter aftertaste, there’s another problem that makes their upcoming season difficult to handle.
The Niners have a very tight salary budget for 2024, which allows for little to no movement when it comes to roster improvements. This means that some of the players who helped them make the Super Bowl will likely suit up for other teams in 2024.
However, there’s great news for the Niners Faithful when it comes to their team’s upcoming offseason: changes in the salary cap will allow better flexibility when it comes to player acquisitions.
San Francisco 49ers have $35 million in budget through contract restructures, bigger cap
According to Niners Wire’s Kyle Madson, the San Francisco 49ers could create room to improve their team through a bit of front-office magic done earlier in the 2023 season, and the 2024 salary cap being tipped to go through changes:
Over the Cap projects the 2024 salary cap to be $242 million. By that number the 49ers are $12,375,835 over the cap, but they’ll have more than $35 million rolling over from restructures in 2023 that should give them a little bit of wiggle room under the cap. A couple of other contract maneuvers could put them far enough under the cap to be real players in free agency.
That’s all true with a $242 million cap, but multiple reports from Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio indicate the number could be closer to $243 million, and perhaps as high as $250 million.
$35 million will allow the Niners to acquire a talented player to shore up weak points in their team. They could also use the money to pay a star wideout who is currently out of place in the team.
Regardless of what they’ll decide to do with the money, it’s great for fans of the San Francisco 49ers to know that their team still has a budget to improve their team and attempt for another Super Bowl win.
