June boon: 49ers gain some extra salary cap help with start of a new month

It’s the start of a new month and, with June 1 having already come and gone, the 49ers officially gain some additional cap space on Monday.

June 2 is the day when the NFL officially processes post-June 1 cuts. For the 49ers, that means veteran defensive tackles Javon Hargrave and Maliek Collins’ 2025 salaries are each off the books.

The 49ers parted with Hargrave at the start of new league year, cutting him with a post-June 1 designation two seasons into a four-year, $84 million contract signed in free agency in 2023. He helped the 49ers go within a whisker of winning the Super Bowl in his first season but spent most of his second year on injured reserve with a torn bicep.
