this is apparently the day of 49ers breaking news as now we have another restructure yes this is the second restructure on top of a massive deal that was signed by Trent Williams oh my goodness there is so much going on today but we got to bring it to you so this is what's happening right now with Debo Samuel so the San Francisco 49ers were able to save a lot of money against the cap space by most likely taking the base salary of Debo Samuel's current contract and converting it into a signing bonus as a result of that they have created 16.4 million in cap space try to catch you up to speed we don't even really at least me specifically I don't really know what the cap looks like after the Trent Williams deal I'm assuming the 4 ERS created more cap space with that contract by able to you know shift some numbers to the back things of that nature but head before that contract they had restructured Malik Collins and were currently sitting at an NFL best 50.5 million in available cap space and they just cleared $16.4 million in cap now the the interesting thing about this is what are the ramifications of this move does this create a dead cap hit that might be larger for next year um I think those are all questions that are valid to ask I'm unfortunately not going to be your expert to tell you how that all works I'm going to be right there asking those questions along with you but with we do know is that the 49ers have a ton of cap space and just created a huge chunk more by this situation that's played out now with Debo Samuel so um I'm sure we are going to get a really comprehensive cap update here pretty shortly um involving the Trent Williams deal involving the Debo Samuel restructure obviously taking into account Brandon iuk steel and just getting a stronger picture at what the 49ers overall cap is my assumption again I'm not a cap expert but my assumption is they're probably creating this cap space to potentially roll it over to next year so that's my current best maybe educated I don't even know if you could say slightly educated uh guess regarding of like what's actually going on um I'll never be the one to tell you that I'm a cap expert um I like like the football on the field I like breaking that down that's where I feel like my strong suit is but at least I can tell you right now what's going on the questions that I kind of have and where this how this impacts us into the future what this means for Debo Samuel Beyond this year I'm not really sure I think not only Debo Samuel and his team but I am and I think a lot of other people are interpreting this as almost a contract year for Samuel because just like we saw with Christian mcaffrey just like we saw with Trent Williams and now we see with Debo Samuel Debo doesn't have any guaranteed money Beyond this season so Debo will be in a similar situation looking to recoup guaranteed money and it'll be fascinating to see if he gets that from the San Francisco 49ers or if he gets that from somewhere else so I think Debo's treating this like a contract Year my perception of this season for Debo is it's a contract year and uh yes he is under contract but clearly the guaranteed money matters as we've seen with multiple star 49ers players and uh I mean we've heard even Mike silver throw out like could we see Debo Samuel moved at the deadline I wouldn't personally like that I mean I definitely understand the potential thought process of doing something like that and I don't know if this restructure makes it easier to move off of Debo's deal I think that's something to kind of keep in mind as well like does this make his contract more tradable um with how this is played out I I'm not really sure but I I would say if it were up to me even you'll still be able to get something for Debo most likely at the end of the year because he's under contract so if if that's the move and this is the last year of Debo Samuel I I just don't feel like a restructure of Debo right now is necessarily the move that you want to make I I think you need Debo I think you need iuk and Jennings and coing and hopefully get peol back um obviously the injury to piol I think also too kind of kind of solidifies the fact that yeah I think we need Debo Samuel here so um I I'm not eager to trade Debo I definitely recognize the reality that things could be coming um for Debo Samuel in the future meaning his Futures a little bit up in the air just based on the 49ers paying Brandon iuk now we see them pay TR Williams pay uh Christian mcaffrey so we have to see here we have to see what is going to happen in the future regarding this whole situation but nonetheless uh this is clearly appears like it's going to help the San Francisco 49ers again geez if we were sitting at 50 .5 I mean that means we're we're inching closer uh to 70 million in cap space obviously we're around that range of 65 to 70 uh but that's a lot of cap space what are you gonna do with that San Francisco 49ers you going to roll it over to next year use it to you know help construct uh the next roster I was calling it roster 2.0 because I do feel like there will be changes I think with Trent being paid with auk being paid with Brock pie who's going to be paid next year I think there will be some pretty substantial changes so I'm calling it roster 2.0 because I think it will be the most substantial that we've seen their roster kind of turn over since Kyle and John had been here it's kind of the first time where the core group of guys that they have built this roster around are getting to that point in their career whether it's keep them or let them go so next year I think it's going to be another wild off season it's going to be the offseason of paying Brock py so that's going to be a another wrinkle to the mix but again I think I don't think we look too far ahead I think we focus on right now and we focus on the simple fact that Debo Samuel the San Francisco 49ers agreed to a restructuring that opened about 16 million in available cap space what do you think this means what is your read on this interpretation uh what's your interpretation on this situation and uh what why do you think they did this I'm curious to know what you guys think let me know in the comments below and as always make sure to like And subscribe for more updates but
