2024 Off-Season

[RIPskaterdude]

49ers working with Juszczyk on a pay cut bur nothing imminent. However, Fred Warner has agreed to restructure opening up 10 million in cap space. And Jags Safety Rayshawn Jenkins is scheduled to visit. Solid player.

Wonder what the restructure will look like. This team better win before Purdy is eligible for an extension, because it will be in cap hell soon.

Big difference between Juice and Armstead is that Juice is still the highest-paid FB in the league by a pretty good margin. He's unlikely to see more on the open market, whereas there's always a market for talented DL. Juice is still a really good player, and he showed in the playoffs that he can make catches that probably no other FB in the league can. But his blocking has regressed a bit. I think this move makes sense.

As I said after the SB, I don't have any problem with opening up the offense more, and moving away from all the bunch formations that we leaned on so heavily with Garoppolo at QB. But to do that, we need to shore up the OL and flesh out our specialist rooms. Our top-end skill players are the class of the league, but we get really thin really fast. Good backup RBs, but no one who can come close to offering what CMC does as a receiver. Three really good WRs, but very little behind that. One awesome TE, but no legit receiving threat behind him. I really want to take advantage of all of our draft picks to flesh out offensive depth.

Re: Armstead, I think he's always gotten more flak than he deserved. He's been somewhat overpaid, but he's a really good player who doesn't have glaring flaws to his game - other than his struggles to stay on the field. Our run D really fell apart when he was injured late in the year, and he has been an impact interior pass rusher in the playoffs. When healthy, I thought he outplayed Hargrave this year.

I'll be the first to admit that I don't have a great handle on cap machinations, I'm a bit surprised by this move. Our savings this year are minimal, only about $2 million. By making this a post-June 1 cut, we can realize more savings, but only after that date so it doesn't really help us make moves this offseason. And now we have a gaping hole at DT that we simply must address in FA or the draft. Hargrave may be the only guy from our active roster who is still on the roster, unless you count Kalia Davis. I probably would have run it back with Armstead one more year and cut him next year.

Warner reconstructed his contract, not sure the details but it will give us more cap for this off-season

Also that money saved from Armstead could go towards an Aiyuk extension this summer or a summer/early season trade

NFC teams making big moves, Cousins to ATL, Huff to PHI, Jacobs to GB, Rams picked up Seattle TE and Lions Pro Bowl G

You are right. Armstead was a good interior tackle. He was stout against the run and a big reason why our run D was good. He was also a good at getting interior pass rush pressure. He was just overpaid for his position

Warner restructure put the 49ers under the cap, about $10M under. Reportedly was done last week. They probably have a couple more, at least not reported yet. McKivitz extension and Armstead release still not official.

Pure restructure, or did they add on a year or two? Frequent restructuring is what jammed us up with Armstead. Generally not a HUGE fan of that approach to cap management, as you eat into future cap space with big dead money hits.

Man, Eagles are being pretty active. Signed DE Huff to a big contract, and Saquon Barkley to what may be the biggest RB contract in the league now. Though they lost mainstays in Kelce and Cox to retirement.

Not winning last season hurts even more after all these big pickups from NFC teams

Feels like they're always active on Day 1 of free agency.

I expect us to make a pretty big FA signing, maybe not as big as Hargrave last year but some DL

Pure restructure. 30+ and 27+ cap hits, plus a void for 2027 (UFA).

I mean, what's the plan there? He's going to cost a fortune as we need to pay our QB....

Go for it for two more seasons, then rebuild when Purdy gets paid

[GS Warriors 1]

Aaron Jones cut by the Packers, so yeah that clears up the Jacobs signing.

[RIPskaterdude]

Wow. When is Banks a FA?

Oh no, another 3rd round TE

That's too bad. Woerner is a non-factor as a receiver, but he's one of the better blocking TEs in the league. Got some holes to fill this offseason....
