This move helps create $11. 6 million in cap space. Per Over the Cap, the number is $2.
9 million annually stretched out through 2030, with the final two years being void years. Over the Cap now has the 49ers with $42. 3 million in cap space.
Only three teams have more cap space than the Niners this season. The initial thought by many fans, especially doing this on the first day of the NFL Draft, would be that the team is looking to trade for a player. Coincidentally, Steelers pass rusher Alex Highsmith’s cap number in 2026 is $14.
