GOOD NEWS: San Francisco 49ers Star Quarterback Brock Purdy Ends Free-Agency Exits Rumours by officially signining a Blockbuster massive contracts extension….
The owners just purchased a controlling stake in a Scottish soccer team, they also own an English soccer team and they recently have placed tight financial constraints on their American football team according to 49ers general manager John Lynch. That’s why they’re gutting their roster.
The 49ers owners spent a whopping $334 million on the 49ers’ players last season only to watch them go 6-11 and miss the playoffs. Now, the 49ers want to spend more prudently. And they presumably want to extend Brock Purdy whose contract will be massive.
So the 49ers don’t have much cash to spend on other players which is why they’ve been signing backups so far in free agency.
Unfortunately for the 49ers, they have almost $75 million worth of option bonuses they will have to pay on April 1. Here are those bonuses:
Nick Bosa: $29,015,545
Brandon Aiyuk: $22,855,000
Christian McCaffrey: $14,245,000
Deommodore Lenoir: $6,500,000
Jauan Jennings: $2,205,000
