Yeah NFL is funny with the cap shenanigans. Bosa's cap hit was only 11M last year and 14M this season but it goes up to 52M in 2027. 49ers play a lot of games with the cap hit. Jed York is a good owner and pretty much lets the front office do what they want. So they will restructure guys and pay them out huge amounts of their salary in signing bonuses to manipulate the cap.
Davante is going to have a non-guaranteed contract next season with a $44M cap hit. Something tells me they're going to renegotiate that one.

I thought they were trading him to the 49ers. We only have 10 receivers on the 70 man. Shanahan says "moar weapons"

How about Davante for Warner, straight up? We only have 7 LB's on our 53.

No thank you. You can have DFF. Haha.
That's a lot of linebackers.
I do expect the 49ers will pare down the number of receivers now that Aiyuk signed. I think they were trying to prepare for the worst.
