Ooh la la! The salary cap is going up by $26 million next year!
and we're still already over the cap....
I think when we cut Barr, we are right at the cap.
Cousins and Hunter's deals will be reworked in some fashion(trade, restructure) and we will gain substantial cap room.
Cousins has shown repeatedly that he has no interest in reworking his contract. Better to trade Cousins to SF for Trey Lance and a 3rd, and eat the $10 mil we'd still owe Cousins. Sign Fitzmagic and we've got a gutty vet and 2 young modern era QB's and we're not devoting 20% of the cap to QB any more.
I am not following the 10 million number. Nor the Lance part which makes no sense for SF. Infact, Cousins for 1-2 years at 25m and Lance as backup and future starter make perfect sense for SF.
Trading Cousins and paying 20 million of his 45 for a third rd pick would be a bad but necessary deal for us … if we decide to cut our losses for next season.
If the Vikings trade Cousins they are still on the hook for his $10mil signing bonus, but they avoid the remaining $35mil cap hit.
If the Vikings want to trade Cousins there will be plenty of suitors. It's no secret that Kyle Shanahan loves Cousins. If he thinks that the 9ers are a Kirk Cousins away from the Superbowl, then there's no doubt he'd be highly motivated to make a trade. Lance, who has shown almost nothing, and a 3rd would be very doable.
The Vikings are on the hook for $45M.
If a team wants to trade for Cousins and split that guaranteed 45M two ways, its anybody's guess what that split would be.
I would love for someone to take Cousins and pay 35M ... that would make a significant impact on our cap.
Do you really think the 49ers have given up on the #3 pick in the 2021 draft already? After one year.
