At this point in the season, it's safe to say the San Francisco 49ers are good. Their salary cap situation, however, means there's still room to improve.
While things weren't as easy as the final score indicated, the San Francisco 49ers clocked up another win on Thursday night. With that 30-12 victory over the New York Giants, the NFC West club improved to 3-0. They were already sitting atop manyAnd while there's something to be said for keeping things in perspective—three games is less than a quarter of an NFL season—it does seem safe to say that the Niners are a pretty good team.
The salary cap reinforces that perspective. San Fran actually has a league-leading $41 million in available space. Some of that cash is theoretically earmarked for future uses, but its presence still provides a golden opportunity in the present.George Kittle #85 of the San Francisco 49ers celebrates after a run during an NFL football game between the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Giants. The tight end is a key part of the team's talented core.
But even with those challenges, San Francisco answered the bell. Purdy threw for 310 yards and two touchdowns; many of those yards came after the catch, but he keeps leading the team to wins. Deebo Samuel and George Kittle stepped up in Aiyuk's absence, and Christian McCaffrey remained his reliable self. The Niners' defense also did its part, limiting the Giants to a paltry 150 yards of offense on the night.
When you think of a team that's 3-0 and stocked with some big-time talent, it's easy to imagine that they're pressed up against the salary cap ceiling. That isn't true of the 49ers. The NFC West club currently has $41.9 million of space, based on OverTheCap's data. That's largely due to offensive talents like Aiyuk and Samuel being on reasonable contracts; the two men carry a 2023 cap hit of $3.9 million and $8.6 million respectively. Add in some restructured deals and a starting QB earning less than $1 million, and the space starts to add up.
