The San Francisco 49ers will get some salary cap relief with Anthony Davis's departure. The right tackle will reportedly return unearned signing bonus money.
Friday afternoon, things got a little bit crazy when Anthony Davis released a statement announcing his "retirement". I use quotation marks because he said he planned on coming back in "a year or so". He wants to get his brain and body right. We'll see if he does in fact return, but in the meantime, there are financial issues to consider.
I wrote a quick discussion of salary cap implications shortly after the news broke, and I wanted to follow up with some more specifics.
