For the first time in a while, the San Francisco 49ers are dealing with something of a tough salary cap situation.
According to Over the Cap, the Niners will be armed with $12,898,285 for the upcoming 2020 offseason. The team would ideally like to re-sign some of its standout players from last year, namely defensive back Jimmie Ward, wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders and defensive tackle Arik Armstead. Additionally, up-and-coming players like tight end George Kittle and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner are due extensions.
In order to make just some of the moves happen, San Francisco will have to clear up some cap space.
