Per Dan Graziano of ESPN, the NFL informed teams that the 2025 per-team salary cap is increasing heading into next season. The NFL salary cap is projected to fall in the range of $277.5 million to $281.5 million.
It will have increased by more than $53 million over the last two years.
According to Over The Cap’s updated projections, the 49ers boast one of the largest amounts of effective cap space. These projections are based upon a base salary cap of $279.5 million for the 2025 season.
With the new projections, here’s where all 32 teams rank in terms of effective cap space per Over The Cap:
New England Patriots: $118,872,718 Las Vegas Raiders: $92,956,761 Washington Commanders: $75,480,461 Arizona Cardinals: $72,949,735 Los Angeles Chargers: $62,170,928 Minnesota Vikings: $61,014,188 Chicago Bears: $60,859,590 Pittsburgh Steelers: $57,102,278 Cincinnati Bengals: $49,729,179 Detroit Lions: $49,194,317 Green Bay Packers: $46,074,742 San Francisco 49ers: $45,661,761 Tennessee Titans: $42,736,238 Los Angeles Rams: $41,743,695 New York Giants: $38,752,449 Denver Broncos: $38,576,265 Indianapolis Colts: $31,363,995 Jacksonville Jaguars: $30,616,447 Carolina Panthers: $19,849,303 New York Jets: $18,170,301 Philadelphia Eagles: $17,015,825 Baltimore Ravens: $9,921,401 Tampa Bay Buccaneers: $5,266,618 Kansas City Chiefs: $4,394,010 Houston Texans: $2,127,621 Dallas Cowboys: -$1,714,316 Miami Dolphins: -$6,742,178 Atlanta Falcons: -$8,392,553 Seattle Seahawks: -$9,746,604 Buffalo Bills: -$13,243,068 Cleveland Browns: -$32,778,205 New Orleans Saints: -$52,578,803As evidenced in the latest projections, the 49ers are sitting in a solid position in terms of effective cap space.
With a projected $45.6 million in effective cap space, San Francisco has the flexibility to bring several of its own free agents back if it so chooses. That list of 49ers free agents includes linebacker Dre Greenlaw.
Or, the 49ers could look to sign Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton to pair with Fred Warner.
San Francisco has needs in the secondary as well with cornerback Charvarius Ward and safety Talanoa Hufanga set to hit the market. Ward indicated that he’s planning to move on, but could the 49ers re-sign one or both?
If not, San Francisco is likely in the free agent market elsewhere in the defensive backfield.
The news that Deebo Samuel requested a trade means that the 49ers could sniff around for a big-name wide receiver in free agency as well. Could San Francisco pull off a splash and sign either Tee Higgins or Chris Godwin to bring in a superstar playmaker for quarterback Brock Purdy?
That would soak up a large portion of the 49ers’ effective cap space, but maybe San Francisco sees an opportunity to jump right back into Super Bowl contention with a star wide receiver like that.
With the 12th-largest effective cap space, the 49ers have a number of different avenues that they could pursue.
