The NFL’s $255.4 million salary cap for 2024 was certainly helpful for a 49ers club that needed as much wiggle room as possible this offseason. That $255.4 million number came in almost $14 million above the projection from Over the Cap and put San Francisco in a more advantageous spot to have an effective offseason.
Still, the 49ers are one of a few teams with a little work to do to get under the cap per OTC.
