Williams’ $82.66M restructured deal (September 2023) extends through this season. His 11 Pro Bowls justify $21.1M charge despite age-37 ankle injury ending campaign after 10 games creating replacement timeline uncertainty.
Bosa-Warner Defense Anchors Spending
Bosa’s September 2023 extension ($170M over five years, $122.5M guaranteed) made him highest-paid defensive player at signing. His $34M AAV created market ceiling before TJ Watt ($41M) reset benchmark two seasons later.
Warner’s Value: Linebacker’s six-year $95.22M deal ($15.87M AAV signed 2020) represents bargain versus current market. His 2024 All-Pro performance at $14.5M cap hit demonstrates elite value contract approaching extension window.
Kittle’s Durability: Tight end’s $75M extension (2020) provides consistent production at $13.2M annual cost. His 65 catches for 738 yards through 13 games justify continued investment despite age-32 questions.
Purdy’s $8M Net Worth Foundation
Twenty-six-year-old built modest wealth through $2.6M earned via rookie contract. His Mr. Irrelevant status (2022 #262 overall) generated $77K signing bonus creating minimal early earnings before May extension established generational security.

His 2024 extension ($38M over two years) created highest-paid RB status before Saquon Barkley ($41.2M) surpassed him.
Next Season Cap Outlook
San Francisco projects $36.8M available with 39 players under contract. Purdy’s escalation to $24.8M maintains quarterback value window before 2028 jump to $57.6M requires restructure or market adjustment.
Extension Priorities: Deebo Samuel (2026 final year), Fred Warner (extension eligible) creating $40M+ combined annual commitments maintaining championship core.
Dead Cap Minimal: Current penalties total $7.2M representing clean books. Smart structuring avoids perpetual void year charges enabling sustainable roster management.
