The San Francisco 49ers had their first round of roster cuts on Saturday, and will make four more between now and Tuesday to get down to 75 players. The roster cuts add a modest amount of dead salary for some of these guys, while others with no guaranteed money are gone, free and clear.
Jason Hurley is back with his third 53-man roster projection (first, second). He has put together a look at the full roster, factoring in all the salary cap implications. He has listed every player with their cap hit and the dead money the 49ers would accrue this year if they release the player. He has split it up into his 53-man roster (plus suspended Aaron Lynch), injured reserve players, practice squad, and dead money on the books prior to cuts. That is then totaled up, followed by a list of every player he has cut with their cap hit and dead money numbers in case you want to play around with it for figuring out cap numbers.
