The San Francisco 49ers begin 2026 free agency with $37.8 million in cap space.Â
By effective cap room, general manager John Lynch has $33.4 million in room. To determine this figure, a team’s room is calculated after signing 51 players, along with its rookie class.Â
Two contract restructures could provide additional cap room to San Francisco.Â
Restructuring Nick Bosa’s contract would save $17.1 million against the cap. By restructuring Trent Williams’ contract, the Niners would save $15.7 million against the cap.Â
49ers Free Agents 2026: Offensive Role Players Likely Leave
Presumably, spending on defense will leave some key offensive free agents to take contracts elsewhere.Â
Wide receiver Jauan Jennings is a free agent this year. So is fringe receiver Kendrick Bourne. It’s likely the former takes a lucrative offer elsewhere, like Tennessee or Los Angeles (A).Â
On defense, edge rusher Yetur Gross-Matos enters free agency this season. He endured an injury-riddled season in 2025, notching only 13 pressures and no sacks.Â
Beyond those players, minimal-impact players are set to hit the market.Â
Only three players who featured in a majority of San Francisco snaps last year are entering free agency. That includes Jennings and Bourne from an offense that ranked second in DVOA.Â
