The SF 49ers are financially committed to a number of high-profile players, but keeping them all may be difficult and someone might have to go.
This is simple: The SF 49ers have a lot of good young players on their roster. Good players want to get paid like good players as soon as they can, and that ultimately drives up a team’s total payroll. There’s a cap on that payroll that varies year to year. Usually, it goes up.
