> In 2026, the 49ers will need to take on $12,350,790 of dead cap, stemming from his 2024 signing bonus, his 2025 option bonus, & 1/5 of the 2026 option bonus - that wasn’t paid, but was still allocated as a cap charge this season. The 49ers will receive a $4.987M salary cap credit next March for this 2026 bonus charge.

> It’s a total of $31,649,370, with AT LEAST $4,987,000 of it coming back next league year. I say that, because it’s 100% plausible to assume that the 49ers have already begun the process of filing paperwork to recoup as much of the 2024/2025 bonuses as possible. Just how much remains to be seen, and the timing of the salary void, the active/did not report list placement, etc...will further complicate that outcome, but it stands to reason that San Francisco will see an additional cap credit in the near future.
