The good news for the San Francisco 49ers is that they freed up some cap space now that we’re in June, making Bryce Huff’s contract easier to take on for the team.
The bad news for the 49ers is that they are paying more than $25 million than the next team in dead money this season, thanks in large part to the Deebo Samuel trade. According to Spotrac, San Francisco is on the hook for $34.1 million in dead money cap hits this season for Deebo.
Now that the post-June 1 transactions are complete, the list of NFL Dead Money Leaders is out, and the Niners are at the top of the list with room to spare.
