Running the San Francisco 49ers Offseason in GM Mode

This offseason, I took control of the San Francisco 49ers in GM Mode on StickToTheModel with a focused plan: maintain cap flexibility, restructure cornerstone contracts, and reinforce the roster with strategic additions.

Here’s how it played out.

The Big Picture

• Starting Cap Space: $43.0M
• Final Cap Space: $33.2M
• Contracts Restructured: 2
• Free Agents Signed: 4
• Draft Picks: 5
• Overall Grade: A-

This was a controlled, efficient offseason built around sustainability and depth.

Restructures

Two key contracts were reworked to maintain long-term flexibility:

• Nick Bosa (+$14.3M)
• Brock Purdy (+$5.7M)

Restructuring core players preserved the competitive window without sacrificing stability.

Free Agency Additions

Four total moves were made in free agency, including two re-signings.

Re-Signed

Eddy Pineiro (K) – 2 years / $6.5M APY
Continuity at kicker to maintain special teams stability.

Skyy Moore (WR) – 1 year / $1.3M APY
Depth receiver retained on a short-term deal.

External Additions

Isaac Seumalo (IOL) – 2 years / $10.2M APY
Interior offensive line reinforcement to protect the quarterback.

D.J. Reader (IDL) – 1 year / $4.7M APY
Veteran defensive line help to strengthen the front.

Draft Class Breakdown

Five picks focused on adding explosive talent and reinforcing both lines.

Round 1 – Pick 11
Makai Lemon (WR, USC)

Round 2 – Pick 58
Jadarian Price (RB, Notre Dame)

Round 4 – Pick 133
Tyreak Sapp (DL, Florida)

Round 4 – Pick 138
Dametrious Crownover (OT, Texas A&M)

Round 5 – Pick 171
Billy Schrauth (IOL, Notre Dame)

The draft added skill position upside while reinforcing the trenches.

Final Take

This was a measured offseason. The 49ers kept financial flexibility, retained key depth pieces, added interior line support, and infused youth through the draft.

An A- grade reflects strong roster balance without overextending the cap.
