According to Over the Cap, the San Francisco 49ers have around $6.3 million in cap space. That’s the ninth-lowest amount in the NFL. That number will go up once Brandon Aiyuk receives an extension.
Before the NFL Draft, the 49ers strategically considered the idea of signing a safety after the first wave of free agency. They drafted Malik Mustapha in the fourth round and Renardo Green, the team’s second-round pick, who brings safety experience from his younger playing days at Florida State. This thoughtful approach raises the question: should that prevent the team from adding more talent?
