49ers salary cap: 2016 projected cap, roster bonuses, potential cut candidates

We've got an early projection for the NFL's 2016 salary cap. Time to take another dive into the 49ers cap space heading into next year.

The 2015 NFL season still has a month to go, but the league has been meeting with teams to prepare them for the 2016 offseason. There have been various reports discussing the potential salary cap for next season, and it should be pretty sizable. After early reports suggested anywhere from $143 million to $153 million, the number has narrowed down into the $150 million to $153 million range. Pro Football Talk said a source suggested it could go as high as $155 million, but $153 million seems to be the top end of most reports.
